Hi Rick

Early days yet. I'm off to Guernsey for a couple of weeks break so will give
it a good workout.

I decided to speed up the buying decision because my K10 is at the menders
having its AF-S/AF-C problem fixed (new switch assembly required, GBP 87 the
poorer) and I thought it might not be ready in time for my hols (it won't
be). Had the option of using my Ist*D as a backup, but decided to take the
plunge...

For the backlit shots I used matrix metering and overexposed by a stop. I
should think about using spot metering for these situations, but old habits
from my MX manual days die hard!

I'll keep you informed.

Chris
