Well I hope someone buys them if only to save my pension.
They already owe me (and every man woman and child in NL) nearly €3000 and counting. Maybe a few of us can club together and demand an island from them.
But enough politics .

Why is the fluff that is produced in a tumble dryer always pinky grey or is it just ours.
I believe they are all the same, the shade may vary with manufacturer but all pinky grey, a bit like belly button fluff is always bluey grey, one of the great mysteries of life

I've had to put my KX in the freezer.
While shooting today I noticed something moving about in the viewfinder, which looked exactly like the descriptions I've read of camera (dust) mites! The general advice seemed to be put it in a sealed bag in the freezer, so I'll fish it out tomorrow morning and hope the little blighter has gone pop (as they apparently do when frozen).
Annoyingly the 50/1.4 I was planning to buy for it the week after next has sold. Can see plenty of M versions but that was a K and would have matched perfectly.

Err, that is likely to kill your camera and it won't be covered by your insurance!

As long as he's not too honest with his insurance he should be ok.

This is the old mechanical KX. Not the digital one (which I don't have, and certainly wouldn't advocate freezing as the LCD and sensor probably wouldn't like it).
Providing I don't use it until everything is thawed out it should be fine!

I could if I had a KX ice cube tray...
Pentax, are you listening?
The camera will be spending the night in the airing cupboard to thaw out now, as that's the warmest, driest place in the house.

Are you not going to have blood all over your viewfinder?

Nah, the creatures are about the size of a full stop.Are you not going to have blood all over your viewfinder?
They just get magnified rather dramatically when you see them in the viewfinder, and are distracting when they start moving about when you're trying to compose a shot!
I have had a brief look and can't see any sign of it, so I'll assume it sloped off somewhere out of the visible area to explode.

Italy , yes maybe, the olive oil alone would be worth it.
But Greece!!
All it has to offer is a massive building renovation project..
K110+DA40, K200+DA35, K3 and a bag of lenses, bodies and other bits.
Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...
PPG entries.
