I pinned it down to the fact that I was pressing the shutter when the red LED lit to show the focus point. The correct focus indicator is, and only is, the GREEN Hexagon in the viewfinder

Ahhh, useful bit of info that. Thanks Matt (again!)

More Jessops madness.

K20D plus Mk 2 kit lens... 579.99

Perhaps it is being phased out in favour of the new 55-300mm lens?

The other issue is, of course, that the standard focus screen on AF cameras like the K10 has no manual focus aids that we used to get with manual cameras like the ME Super et al. I find it really quite difficult to focus manually with my K10D (which is partly my dodgy eyes ) compared to my LX and have been thinking of getting an alternative focusing screen.

Best wishes, Kris.

There was a lovely photo in the last Black and White photo magazine which had an exposure of 60 minutes... Taken at night using a view camera.

Best wishes, Kris.

For winter weather in the welsh hillsides it has to be Barbour or Musto.

I have a dri-za-bone (not sure of the spelling). Aussie version of the Barbour but a bit cheaper and just as waterproof. Rather than a hood I used a broad brimmed hat from the same people in wax cotton too, it keeps the rain off my glasses better than a hood!

Best wishes, Kris.

I have never used one of those machines as I find using Bonusprint's online service quick and easy as long as you are after snap shot quality prints. Dirt cheap, come about two days later, and generally fine. The only thing I did wrong first time was not check the option to get the prints at the ratio I had cropped them so I lost bits around the edges.

Not an answer to your question but it might be easier next time!

Cheers, Kris.

Well done Dan. I loved the winning shot too.

Yes, my picture could have done with more DOF but (excuses excuses) if anyone knows where I put the quick release plate of my tripod I'd be grateful. Why do they make those things in black rather the fluorescent pink? As it was I was hand holding it and trying to stop breathing! LOL...

I needed a whisky after that.

Great theme, good comments, lovely photos. What is next?

Ok if they stay with APS-C how far can Pentax/Samsung take it, i e, how many MP can they go/get out of the sensor.:

I think the answer to that is the same as "how much memory can you fit on the SD card" or "how small can a mobile phone be." Not that long ago 1 gb was amazing, now 8gb is easy to get and cheap. Perhaps a more relevant question is "how many MP can they fit on it now?"

I wish you lot would stop tempting me to trade in my K10 for a K20... I have spent too much on cameras lately!
