Oooh I can understand Smeggy and Will's point - each to their own :D Nenix - I don't have the 60 - 250 but I believe that as a lens it is not quick to focus :| Also I don't have the 150 - 500 but many seem to manage with these - perhaps the 70 - 200 f2.8 will help as it will let more light in ...

Ricoh possible new DSLR Hardware chipset?
I've long understood my Pentax has at its heart a sensor from Sony and the electronics mostly from Fujitsu. I also figured the weak link was my brain and its wiring to my right forefinger :-) Back to editing my Greek holiday photos this evening.If they aren't up to scratch I'll blame the Ouzo not...

New firmware may be inbound???
Just tried the Ricoh link for the K5II Still shows Program Update Yes No CURRENT VERSION 1.04 UPDATE VERSION 1.04 I'm holding back on this until its sorted, never had problems with these before. Will try my K5 and K01 to see what if they work.

Just done the K5 & K01 with no problems, correct old and new firmware versions showing on screen. Looks like a glitch with K5ii although it may only be a naming error I'll hold back updating the K5II for now. Regards George

Recent Firmware updates
OK, back to the drawing board then. Hopefully Pentax will sort this issue real soon. May e-mail them.

Thoughts on camera for Alaska?
Whilst I still lurk and comment from time to time, I haven't had a Pentax camera for around a year now. I originally had a K-r and upgraded that to a K-30 when they first came out and could be bought for £319 (after cashback). We have started travelling a reasonable amount in the last couple o...

Either go for a s/h K5 plus a s/h 70 - 300 Zoom, and sell it when you get back alternatively hire the similar kit from somewhere. If your travel zoom as been working well since you sold the last lot of kit, my guess is you'll want to do the same with this after the trip, so don't waste the extra ...

Make sure you have "filters" on all of the lenses and a protector on the LCD. Yes, lenses might be water resistant but a "Protector Filter" will stop splashes on the front drying and leaving salt marks and you can be a little more confident about wiping them off. You will find the LCD screen m...

Thoughts on camera for Alaska?
In arduous conditions like this I'd go for the K-5 offer from SRS and couple it up with a WR lens. The 18-135mm would be great, but I'd also take a fast screw-focus lens such as the 50mm f/1.4 or 50mm f/1.8, just in case the motor in the lens fails or gets frozen. Belt and braces approach as far ...

And lots of SD cards and something to back them up on. :) .

Thoughts on camera for Alaska?
Thanks - some helpful tips there. K-5 seems to be preferable to K-30, then? I had thought about 18-55WR plus 50-200WR, but didn't want to change lenses too often, if possible. I know the whales in particular can get very close so was a bit concerned that something starting at 50mm might be a b...

Thoughts on camera for Alaska?
Just back from Alaska. I took my 18-135 which gave me WR insurance and you will probably need it there. I also made a lot of use of my 55-300 not only for wildlife, where it is indispensable ie eagles and bears if you are lucky, but also for landscapes. We were driving in the interior and I found...

You could buy S/H to sell when you get back and think of it as a long term lens rental (although you'll probably end up wanting to keep it!)

Pentax Full Frame Comment
I think that's a very small number though Gajan and whether or not having got there they find it's what they expected/wanted is unknown. Some come back. It's not enough in numbers to justify on its own major investment.
