Thanks Christine. That's the picture that says to me that there's nothing wrong with my K7's colour balance (and I'm pretty pleased with the composition and the light too!). Yes, it is a lovely place to visit. If you ever come to the UK it's well worth putting on your list of places to visit.

No surprise here. Isn't this what we all (should have) expected when Hoya bought Pentax to get the non-camera parts of the company (e.g., endoscope)? Hoya is an optics company, not a camera company. The surprise is that with the world-wide depr (oops) recession, they waited this long.
