Camera Update...

Hi All,

Some of you may remember a couple of months back that I was chatting about
replacing my stolen K10D with something.    In the end I ended up going
with the K20D, Pentax 16-50mm F⒉.8 DA* and Sigma 70-300mm DG APO and I
haven't been disappointed at all.

So, I'll give you some photos, with the usual cavaet that these are quickly
processed on the laptop, so colours and brightness was probably varying
with viewing angle.  (I was at my girlfriend's house at the time)

Thanks to all for their comments at the time, and apologies for the lack of
OM content.

I'd love to look at other than thumbnails but it's too painful to
navigate between the larger ones.

Yeah, I know.  I need to work out a way of making it work appropriately for
this.  I'll get there soon. :)

I'm afraid I'm with Chuck on the navigation issue. So I only browsed.
Based on those I sampled and the thumbnails, looks like a lovely set.

I did, of course check out all those of the girlfriend. Based on visual
appearance and facial expressions, it appears you have done well in that
department. :-)

That was very enjoyable, Patrick, thanks.  It works fine with tabbed  
browsing in Safari.

And, as Moose mentioned, your girlfriend seems like a nice lady :-)

Very much so.  As one reviewer put it, it's very much like a K10D Mk.II.
Nothing spectactularly new in it,  just refined that little bit.

Thanks. :)   I am working on the navigation issue, but Simon (the guy that
wrote it originally) didn't really plan for that.  And my perl is less than
wonderful.  Still, everyday's a school day. :)

*smile*  Thanks.  She's a lunatic and therefore suits me well.

At last,  someone willing to persevere. ;)

She is. :)
