I'd download the file again from Pentax and extract the .bin file once more, just in case it got corrupted somehow.
Format an SD card (2gb or greater) in the camera, transfer the card to your PC/laptop, copy the .bin file across to the card, transfer the card back to the camera then follow the instructions I've already posted.
Thanks, JohnX, yes I had copied it into the DCIM folder, all done now thanksAlec wrote:
Files are FWDC215B.BIN.cpgz & FWDC215B.BIN
FWDC215B.BIN appears to be the correct file. You are copying it to the root of the SD card and not into a DCIM folder? JohnX wrote:

Yes there are 2 files in the extracted fold, I have tried both of them individually and the folder with both of them.You have extracted the file to the root of the SD card (and not just copied it over as a zip file?)

I can't find the thread, but remember something about the guard for the aperture lever being too long on some lenses?
I guessed that was the problem when I compared it with a lens which does fitI can't find the thread, but remember something about the guard for the aperture lever being too long on some lenses?

I have an old Tokina 28mm with just that problem, the guard is twice as long as the one on a Pentax lens of the same vintage and catches on the camera body.
Strangely enough it was a Tokina I compared it with, it's about 3 times as long on the Chinon lens.I have an old Tokina 28mm with just that problem, the guard is twice as long as the one on a Pentax lens of the same vintage and catches on the camera body.

That's weird it doesn't fit
It says P/K on it but won't go onto my K20

Miranda MS3 - my first SLR!
Mine was a Miranda MS-1, bought in '86 from Dixons. Miranda MS3 - my first SLR!
I gave it to my stepson when he started doing Art at college about 7 years ago, he still uses it now.
I got given a Chinon CE-5 a couple of years back, it's got a f1:3.5/4.5 28-50mm zoom which I'd totally forgotten about until this thread. I'll give it a try on my K20

Of course being the height of the Summer like this year the light was so flat in the drizzle it was barely worth getting the camera out.
We've been 4 times out of the last 5 years, a bit grey with a couple of showers today, I knew it'd just be too busy to take any photos though.Alec wrote:
