Black definitely.

I can see the appeal of a variety of colours, except for those brown ones

I don't post very often but I do read many of the threads on here and have appreciated much of the advice from Gwyn and other members, even though it wasn't always directed at me originally (no point me asking the same questions when a search will do) so I'm disappointed you are leaving, hopefully you will change your mind.

Overall I think Pentax User is a friendly place and certainly better than some of the other forums, but I do find that these 'brand wars' threads only ever take place on single brand forums anyway. I won't name other forums but the general photography ones that I visit never seem to have these threads .....

Having said that I would be disappointed if these threads were overly moderated or deleted in their entirety, I do find them fascinating and sometimes useful, it's just that some people get a little excited

Good luck to you, if moving allows you to get extra business then there is no reason you shouldn't do it. I know I would if it was my living (though I'm pleased photography doesn't pay my wage!)

I would be interested to see some images that you think you couldn't have got with your Pentax though, for any reason.

A quick search shows RSS was requested herelink back in December 2007 and it's never happened I guess it's not possible or a big job to implement.

Welcome to the forum - I would love to go to the Galapagos Islands one day. Couldn't find any pic's on your flickr site though? (get scanning! )

I don't think this site supports RSS feeds, there was a post requesting this a few weeks ago but it never went any further. It's a pity as it's much easier to make it look as though you are busy at work when a new 'email' arrives than it is surfing the web!

Hi Simon - lovely series of photos (as usual!). Did you use a polariser on those as the colours really seem to 'pop'? I'd be hard pushed to pick a favourite but I'd go with 1, 2, 3 or 4

Can I ask where abouts you walked from and to? We did the short walk around Aber Falls last weekend which is beautiful but I'm never sure where to join the routes?

I've only ever used Kingston Data Travelers and find they are very reliable and fast. I still use my 1Gb one that I've had for the past 4 years and it's working find even though it's been bashed about. At the time it cost around £100 for a 1Gb - thankfully it wasn't my money!

I would have thought that they are all pretty quick as they are solid state memory with the USB being the bottleneck.

I agree with this, though I have been looking at a similar bolt on style fish-eye (there are lots on ebay). I like the idea of having a mess around with a fish-eye lens but I don't think it's worth me spending £339 for a Pentax 10mm-17mm (though if I like the fish eye effect I may well end up buying one anyway) So far I've just decided to not bother wasting my money on a cheapo lens and wait to see if the novely wears off

Glad I could help

PentaxImaging have the manual here - is this what you mean?
