Looks like you might have inadvertently set the camera for 'remote release' Press the timer button (top of the 4 on the 4-way controller) and see which option has been selected. The camera will still take pictures normally in this mode using the shutter release button; however I think that the SR function might be disabled

Hope that helps!

Must try it again. When I tried to watch this a few days ago, wouldn't run - somewhat less than amazing

edit - just watched it - and worked this time. Although not having benefit of 4k resolution - still pretty good!

I used an online company called Palicomp for mine over 18months ago. it was a bit more than £500 but have been very happy with it to date.

Nice shots David.
Was up around Ullswater a few weeks back and if I have it right, on the walk we were doing 'The path to the hills' was rather flooded and we had to detour the long way round to get back tot he car!

I've never seen any testing of that Stan. Has anyone?

No but I was aware that my INOV8 one for the K-7 seemed to be holding less charge as time went on. That is just an observation - not a scientific test!

I have recently sent my DA17-70 in for repair as it had stopped reporting the focal length correctly; always giving a mid-range reading no matter what the focal length. I had noticed that shots at wider and more tele lengths were less sharp than usual, so the figure is fairly critical IMHO

Nice shot
I went from the K7 which wasn't as 'clean' as the K-r at higher ISOs to the K5ii - also very pleased!

Well it certainly makes a pleasant change to having Canikon ones as an insert. It looks as though Ricoh having a bit more money behind them is making a real go at promoting the brand!

The new AP dropped through my letter box a short while ago, and within a nice new 24 page glossy brochure "Pentax DSLR Product Guide" - very nice too. Edited by Damien Demolder, it has short articles covering all the cameras and lenses.

Lenses are interesting as the FA 50mm f/1.4 is still included, years after we were told it was discontinued.

Impressive.

Could do with him to sort my fridge out

200mm (needed to use f/32 and high iso to get dof)

I realise this is slightly off the point you are making, but using f32 has caused you to lose sharpness because somewhere from about f11-ish and smaller, something called diffraction comes into play and the sharpness loss loses any benefit of increased DOF
