Lens Repair Advice
Today my K5 with my 12 - 24 attached fell, only about 9 inches at most, and landed on a rock. The camera seems fine but the lens barrel now has a tight spot. the zoom seems generally smooth but there is significant stiffness between 18 - 20mm. I'm on holiday until next Wed so haven't got the opp...

Lens Repair Advice
alan Marlow is top notch and very very reliable. Unfortunately 3 weeks back he was swamped with work in the garage and is knocking back work temporarily. If you dont mind the wait I agree he is your best man. Only down side is the getting spare parts for pentax to his work shop is a bit slow.

Lens Repair Advice
An update. As the optics weren't affected I'd carried on using the lens and finally contacted Alan Marlow (A.M. Technical Services) a week or so before Christmas. I agreed to send him the lens after the holidays and posted it off on 4th Jan. I've just received it back today (8th Jan) with some d...

I’ve been thinking...
Stop giggling at the back - I do have a think occasionally. Usually in bed as I’m trying to get to sleep. You know, the usual things - domestic arrangements, the plot holes in something I’ve just watched on TV, graph theory - that class of thing. Anyway, I was thinking about digital versus film p...

Pentax Binoculars - Advice Please.
The Pentax Papillo 8.5x21 are remarkable. Excellent optically, as light as a feather and focus to a foot and can be got cheap. Handy in the garden however for serious birding the field of a view is a bit on the narrow side but I often take them out strapped to my belt when I don't want the weight of...

645z left on the street. Any takers?
Went up to the moors on the bike on Tuesday night, ready for some spectacular Northern Lights photography with a beautiful valley and lake to the North in front of me and perfect mare's tail clouds sweeping out to a point where the show will kick off. If nothing else happened I would certainly get a...

Instruction manuals
I agree with Nigel. How simple cameras were a few years ago with just film speed, aperture and shutter speed to set. Now even "entry" level cameras can do so much and each new model introduces ever more complex features. Luckily sensors are pretty forgiving, particularly if you shoot RAW, and auto-f...

Ricoh K-S2 online survey - weird ending?
I thought the same at first. It wasn't blank just a page placement error corrected by scrolling back to the top. This on Firefox on my 24 inch screen though. By the way if these folk are asking questions does that mean we have found someone who can reply to our long running Q & A requests????

Stats gone from Flickr
Yes I noticed last night that the stats menu option had disappeared, although you could still navigate to the stats page through 'recent activity'. I thought this might be another flickr page update or something, but the stats option in the menu is back now so it must have been some temporary glitch...

Yeah, x-rays are still a worry for me. I'm waiting to get back eight films from a US holiday, most of which were x-rayed five times... Hope you enjoy your holiday.

Morbid question
There are professional funeral photographers. There was a programme on them on the BBC some years back. It was all done in accordance with the family's wishes, very discrete. Some photographed the service too, but not the mourners individually, but most concentrated on the carrying out of the coffin...

File transfer: USB cable or SD card reader?
I too use the one in the computer but I hate taking the card out of the camera because either your forefinger or thumb is right up against the back of the little door on a K5 and you risk damaging something every time because the card is held in there quite tightly.

File transfer: USB cable or SD card reader?
Thanks for all your comments and suggestions. I shall now order one of the card readers, plus a couple of faster SD cards. The tide of opinion has obviously moved away from cable connection in favour of card readers. I suppose I could have specified a card reader slot when I ordered my Dell Optip...
