I only use ebay as a last resort now. Prefer Gumtree, (I know ebay own Gumtree) it's free and the buyers are usually local. Advertised a camera bag, it was sold to a chap two streets away about an hour after posting the ad
That's the good thing about Gumtree ........ Keep it LOCAL!

If you buy say a car radio and it gets stolen..... you can go
round to the person you bought it from and BUY IT BACK!

Ebay seems to be down again That's about the
3rd time in the last few weeks that I've not been able
to get through

Edit: It is down just checked.....

I might have won a K-3 for £25 if no one else can
get a bid on

I would be happy if you would confine all your moaning to
one forum Lets keep this one for Pentax Cameras
and pictures...... Moan elsewhere! DPR used to be
good for a moan hence the nickname Depressing Review

And another.....

Flickr seems to have turned to rubbish

Certainly a very underestimated lens as far as bokeh is concerned.

Playing a piano whilst flying a drone is very dangerous
and should be discouraged ......... Take up a trumpet!

The Yongnuo RF-602 (Wireless) is the best. The remote has 2 press
positions and a red light comes on for focus at the 1st stop and
then a then a green light when you press further for the release
position.

The LEDs are duplicated on the receiver so you can see if it's
working even without a camera. Connect the 2.5mm stereo plug
to your remote socket and your away.

If in focus the camera beeps when you reach the 1st position...
so just carry on to the 2nd to take the shot.

With IR the camera focuses and takes the shot in one operation.
It has to be set in the camera.

Personally I don't mind converging verticals.... it's the 35mm
way and always has been. Sloping horizons are another thing and
generally unacceptable if they look plain wrong.

I've just re-done the 1st one.... it was tilted on the 1st post...

For checking verticals and horizontals this free screen ruler is
very handy. Set it to transparent...
