First. Just bought myself a second hand Ds. The kit lens is in the bin (relax, not literally speaking). I've bought myself a Tamron 28-75/2,8. I'm convinced this is the perfect toy for me. I love her, and I believe she loves me back. If it ain't love, then what a heck, then it is perfect sex, and that’s really something. She is pretty. She responds to every move I make. And when I touch her button, she comes instantly, over and over again.
Ok, now I have got it out of my system, I'll stop talking dirty, embarrassing some of you. The thing is that I like the camera. I like the way she is built, and I like her speed. But there is one downer. I'm not able to load the RAW files in Elements 3. I have been to the Adobe site. There I realize, Elements does not support Ds, just the D. (By the way, the D is twice as expensive here in Norway, as the Ds, don't ask me why). So now I do wonder. Is there any way around this problem? I have just bought Elements too. So I am a total novice. In fact I have never done something serious in any image processor before. Of course, I can use the Pentax Photlab to convert the pictures, and then move on working in Elements. But then I must learn two new programs, not one, and that takes time. And this time I want to spend with my new lover (oops, there I go again, talking dirty). And I would like to be able to do all, my image processing in one program. Tim The Flaming Norwegian.
