The Eye-Fi is supplied with it's own reader and they advise you to just use that. I once burnt out my best card reader by using it with the Eye-Fi.
It does work OK on another reader that I have but it's slow.

The good thing about the Eye-Fi when you connecet the card to the PC is that it automatically copies over any files that it hasn't previously copied.

I wouldn't format any of these Wi-Fi cards in anything they contain other files required for them to work properly. I just delete the pic files from the card via the PC reader.

I'm surprised no one's noticed how soft the sample photos are on
the RHS, especially the barge shot. The left side is pretty good.......
then again most people only buy a lens to fondle it

I had one of these along with the 10-20mm Sigma. There wasn't
much between the two except the Sigma was wider so I sold the
12-24mm.

You can use the Pentax tethering software along with Lightroom.
I used to do it with ACDSee and a *istDS, K10D and K20D. The tethering
software alone just has a small preview and I wanted full screen.

I do the same now with an Eye-Fi card and two watcher programs using
full sized JPG's.

Thanks Jules. Why Pentax / Ricoh can't provide Adobe with the info for SDK is beyond me, we could then use Lightroom for tethered shooting like most other brands and users.
So that they can sell thousands of FLU cards
and sell less cameras becuase of the lack of tethered support in Lightroom. Maybe there's more profit in FLU cards
Doesn't Lightroom have the facility to watch the folder that the JPG's
are imported into and pop up a full frame view of the file automatically?

Even a 14 year old version of ACDSee can do that!

Some people might find this 1965 US Dealers 29 page catalogue
