"How big's the new lens, mate?"
"Yeah nah, she's the full pack o' Tim Tams."
"Serious?"
"True life, mate."

Ha ha, yes. We don't want much. Just all the top tech (or at least specifically the tech that suits us) at a rediculously low price. 😆

Ah, gotcha! I should have known if I thought about how often I'd heard them over the last year. Now I know, thanks!

I've just sold my k-x which I had from new and bought a used k-5. The k-5 is much better from a usability point of view and bild quality and not that different in the hand in terms of size. K-5 has a much quieter shutter and much better damping. What I really missed on the k-x was that it only had one e-dial so you can only adjust one parameter at a time which is often annoying. AA batteries was also both convenient and annoying in terms of being more annoying to charge and replace but also readily available while out and about.
If you're talking faulty parts to watch for then the e-dial was unreliable for me. I had the whole top plate replaced under warranty early on due to the e-dial and the replacement one had just started to play up too. And once the e-dial goes it's very hard to control anything as that's the main adjustment.
I had a brief flirtation with a k-100d and I think if I got a second body I'd look for a k-10d or something for the different sensor type (lots of people love ccd colours).

Nice moody shot. Good job switching off from the world for a couple of days. I'm sure they'll lose interest soon.

Wow! Did it take much processing to get her to pop like that? Just a magical moment in light well captured?

Beautiful abstract form. Lovely light. Low contrast works well here. Thanks for sharing.

Phone cameras have come a long way and can do some amazing things.
One thing he probably won't talk about is price. I just picked up a K-5 which is an incredibly capable imaging machine for AU$500. How many excellent lenses could I equip myself with for the difference between that and a new iphone? A quick search suggests another $700-1000 easily to spend in lenses. Meanwhile, my $150 phone is fine as a phone and portable internet device etc. and is cheap enough I don't have to worry about insuring it.

[emoji44] The composition is still there but I see what you mean about your pp. You really drew all of the best elements out of it. Thanks for being willing to show the unfinished work too.

What an interesting building and looks like you've captured it at just the right angle. Well done. Love the splash of foliage colour too.
