My first lasted a year before being stolen, 10k+ images, no significant
problems. (see footnote)
My second (replacement for the one stolen) is only lightly used, no
apparent problems.

You may have told me, but what size of monitor are you using, and at
what resolution?
A pair of 19 screens each at 1600x1200. It's too
I really like this Shel.
Looks more like you stepped out of a time
machine than a truck.
The sepia tone is perfect for this.
The tree line fading into the haze in the
background gives a nice sense of depth.
Looks a lot like something I'd see here
in Iowa.
I can see it in a *nice* barnwood frame.
In Spain the Pentax distributor is also the Sigma one,
so they are selling the Ds with:
Sigma 18-50 (999 EUR)
Sigma 18-125 (1199 EUR)
Pentax 18-55 (1099 EUR)

I'm with Paul on this. The picture would be improved by moving in closer,
eliminating the non-descript building on the left, most if not all
The fellow I was with was totally focused on his truck and getting off road
with it. Had yours truly been driving I'd have spent an hour or so at the
place, worked on some close-ups of the cars, tried to capture building
details, changed film, lenses, and done a lot of things in addition to this
I played around with a few crops, and kept going back and forth between
