Good charger bad charger.
Anyone accidentally leaving a flashgun switched until the the batteries go flat will have at least one cell at 0V and the others so close to 0 that they won't charge. This is quite a good video showing the difference between the German Technoline and a Chinese copy. The reviewer discharged 4 batt...

Good charger bad charger.
Referring to the comment of "cheap knock off" concerning the 7DAYSHOP charger I linked to, I've never had a problem with mine. I've never had AA or AAA cells get down to 0v either and therefore are not too worried about dead battery recovery. I've been using AA rechargeable regularly since 1977, bac...

If the conference is at the conference centre then you could head down to Dalry (past Haymarket taking the left fork heading out of town). It's a little run down but with lots of character (at least to my taste) and some mildly grubby tenement buildings. The New Town (on the north side of Princes ...

Number of views on sale items
Just looked in to the Classified forum and note the the number of views an item has had is no longer visible. I find this inconvenient as I usually look at items with no views on the chance of snagging a bargain. I feel this has degraded the classified so doubt I'll bother with it again. :( It's be...

Collect+ - how to complain
Your help/experience would be much appreciated with the following: Couple of weeks ago, a forum member bought, and paid for, some kit from me - which I then sent off via Collect+, and which I then dropped at a local collection point a day later. I have tracking evidence which proves that the...

Collect+ - how to complain
I had the same problem last year, I gave up on the website and phoned them, got put on hold many times, listened to lots of excuses but did get my money back, eventually, Just a point of note, I think, but may of misheard, that after 28 days you can’t make a claim. Anyway if you don’t have the...

Collect+ - how to complain
I accept that oversize items present their own problems (it is 60cm max length and 20Kg max weight) but normally, the included £500 insurance is a superb deal. You wouldn't think that ParcelForce was the same outfit - their interest is bulk shifting, not the everyday Joe Soap who they try to scare...

SDM Failure at WGW
Hmm! looks like time flies when your having fun, searched round for the repair receipt and can't find it, then realised I'd have mentioned it on here so checked my posts, it was 12 months ago :roll: I was right insofar as it failed just before WGW and I got it back in time, just the wrong WGW. ...

SDM Failure at WGW
Hi Alan, Once the modification is done the lens will work in screw drive on all camera bodies. To carry out the modification you will need a few things – Notepad ++ (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.5.6.html) Two SDHC cards, one to enter “DEBUG MODE” for the K5 or K3. The other SDHC c...

Save the original LENSEEP.LNS file some where safe then you can always revert back with SDM as normal.

I used a K100d for mine. Just made a silly offer on one ... not in a hurry as they work fine but would be interested to see if they focus any faster.

Just dug this out from my vaults for the K-5 16/50mm and 50/135mm. Summary instructions (detail below): 1. Use PKTether to set camera to Debug Mode 2. Use the memory card "boot file" trick to force the camera to open the full debug menu 3. Copy current lens config from EEPROM to memory card ...

Not having any luck with this, followed everything to the letter, even a step by step you tube vid. but the new file refuses to work, I get "wait" and it just reverts back to the debug menu, tried it 3 times and also with another card but same result, tried it with the K3II and despite the fact I ...

Yes I used Notepad++ Think I may have wasted everyones time though, did some Googling and tried a suggestion to repeatedly press the AF button while rotating the focus ring, and it's started working again :roll: We were caravaning over the Goth Weekend and I left my gear in the car overnight, ...

SDM Failure at WGW
Just a quick update. Have tried the lens several times over the last few days and it seems to be back to normal, I also gave the 50-135 a workout by throwing it all the way out of focus with the focus ring then using the AF, I have to admit it did seem to speed up after a dozen or so times. On...

Which Pentax DSLR to upgrade to ?
Thanks for all your comments guys, it’s much appreciated, a few weeks later and much researching I waited and waited for the right one to come along, and boy I’m glad I did. I bought the K3 from SRS at a great price. It’s in immaculate condition with only 700 actuations to its name. I am so chuffed ...

Which Pentax DSLR to upgrade to ?
Some strange twists and turns in this thread :P The lack of an AA filter is widely acknowledged to increase sharpness of an image (or rather it removes the filter that reduces the sharpness) - I cant prove it, I can merely state my experiences which are based on buying a K5iis and seeing that the ...
