The Eye-Fi card might be discontinued. They did licence most of it to Toshiba and the Toshiba FlashAir W-04 32 GB SDHC Class 10 Memory Card £23 ish seems similar except you have to select from the Laptop which thumbnails to DL. The Eye-Fi downloaded everything which is what I prefer.

Eye-Fi are now selling a card that will connect without a router direct to your PC

K1 files are big to transfer especially RAWs. Because it's going to be all the same lighting can't you set in camera JPG's fairly close to what you want and transfer them.

An Eye-Fi card can transfer through a router. It doesn't need to be connected to the internet.

My old X2 card transfers 10MB K-5 JPG's in 10 secs. for each shot.

Any editor could pick them up from the DL folder/directory.

I'm glad Pentax never brought out anything like the Nikon Z's Their forums such as DPR are full of complaints

Just imagine the complaints if Pentax brought out a camera with AF as bad as.....

SEE: AF-C with tracking - performance
https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikon-z7/8

AT LEAST NOW NO ONE CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT PENTAX AF

I'm suspicious that they haven't shown the cyclists face and glasses on the crop photos...... Could it be than none of the 16 shots are in focus.

How about a camera that you have to grip so tight that your fingers dig into the rubber .....

Watches have to withstand quite high water pressure caused by depth of immersion . Cameras don't generally withstand pressure they just withstand being sprayed with water. No doubt any delicate seals will get replaced during service, but substantial gaskets should be ok re-used.

For Pixel Shift copies and normal copies without flash this bulb is ideal. It's about 5 inch diameter of very diffused even daylight. I'm surprised they are still available I bought two about 18 months ago when they were £15 each now £23 (free delivery)

Kosnic B22 20 Watt Daylight Energy Saving Globe Light Bulb, 8000 hr
from A m a z o n

LEDs are cheaper, but I wouldn't think the light would be so well diffused with no hot spots.

From his blog dated March 20, 2018 Jay Maisel is quite happy scanning his slides with a FF camera. So if it's good enough for the master it's good enough for you

This sounds simple today, but we had been trying using scanners, and it was a tough, slow, expensive unsatisfactory experience. Matt figured out that we could do the job by using a Nikon D810 with a Nikkor Macro 60mm lens. Since he’s started, we’ve done almost 14,000 images. We have now switched to a D850, and he’s even happier with that.

Yes... it does seem to be the latest Contemporary model. Strange they didn't print it all on the lens.
