As I always rename all the files using Lightroom when downloading them from the card I care not a fig for what the camera calls them.

As to actuations, use photome, although I'll admit I have never bothered to check. I think the K20D's shutter is good for a while yet.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Me too, but I use a rename programme I wrote ages ago. I can set up templates and easily switch between them. I prefix all the photos numbers to indicate the camera used and let the sequences move up for each one.

I do a hard format of each card if I switch cameras. So far this has worked without odd numeric jumps.
Listen to my albums free on BandCamp. Or visit my main website for links to photography, etc.

I did that but instead of my first photo being #3 (actual actuation - Chris tested the camera before sending it to me) or #1 it is #26425 .

He must have used a card with #26424 on it and the camera MEMORY
is set to remember the last No. used.

Just set the camera not to remember the last No. Rename a JPG
to 0002 and it should pick up from there. Then set the camera
to remember the numbers again.
