This page will contain an archive of all of the main articles I’ve written by category and sorted with the most recent first – it seems that there are some fundamental navigational issues with WordPress that I can’t get around other than by manually updating this page with every new article. It’s a work in progress, of course…

Any review on the Pentax K5 IIS read some great reviews on it. whats your take on it… Ming
Never used one, no interest in reviewing it either. I’ve never shot Pentax and have no experience with the system, so my comments would probably be quite meaningless anyway.
