If I was buying from the US I'd get the double with the headlamp.

The Cree LED's are so much brighter than others I'm sure that part will be genuine. Shouldn't be too expensive anyway.

That makes it a cheap torch. There's something fishy about
the ebay one's Why haven't the sellers been removed?
Could it be that they are genuine after all?

You will have to pay import duties from the US plus
a courier fee for collection.

If you buy a Coast torch from a genuine seller it has a 5 year
guarantee.

Unless you need the FLOOD the torch you have should do.

It's a plastic rivet that fails. It can be fixed, details here.....

It's higher than that.... at least f/2.4.

I'd have to check where the limit is for exposure,
either f/2 or f/1.8 beyond which the aperture makes
no difference.

I still haven't got round to cutting down the Canon Ee-S
screen I bought for my K-5..... must do it shortly

Cos I'm a Jack of All Trades and Master of None!
Far too many interests beyond photography.

I've never really been that bothered about Digital it's just
a snappers tool to me, it replaced Polaroid, but is still like
a piano that's out of tune. It's annoying that it's so hard to
fathom out the dark parts that no one else seems to bother with,
such as how to accurately focus with the Green Hex/Focus Trap.
I do like to tinker though and the K-5 is quite good for that

I've still got my darkroom and two enlargers + Macbeth Densitometer
that I paid £500 for years ago when I was really into the Zone System
using Koni Omega 6x7, which I still have. I never use B&W now
too much bother finding materials. I still use the Pentax Spotmeter
from time to time. There were a lot of knowledgeable people
about prior to digital. Perhaps they've all taken up
painting

It's worth remembering that a large percentage of the successful
photographers of the past 60 years had only one camera usually
with just a 50mm lens and never looked at other makes even though
the specifications were superior. It was of course the Leica and
one of my favourite users was Ralph Gibson who got along fine
with just the camera and probably one lens. I went to a talk
he gave in at the Adelphi in Liverpool about 1977.

Worth looking over his stuff...

There's a very interesting 2 min. video on this
page .....

and for $9,500 you can buy a Signature Leica MP

Quite a few videos also on Youtube.

I also remember BB King saying who is favourite Blues Player
was and the interviewer said..... He only plays 5 notes!
To which BB replied..... But he own's those 5 Notes!

Ricata wheels? Would a Pentax board go in straight line
and not drift to one side with them on! Next time I see
a 10 year old jumping a double decker bus I'll ask him if he
uses Ricta wheels... He'll probably say "Dunno"

I don't know how Canon lenses are made now days, but in their
heyday of cameras such as the AE-1 when they changed the
breech mount, they were held on with just 3 screws unlike
the 5 used by Pentax and the lens was GLUED together making
it impossible to service Gluing is of course cheap

See the last post in this thread...

Is it any wonder that Canon users are buying Takumars

It's a good job Pentax don't make Skateboards!

All the Pentax Skateboard Users would be complaining
"This board doesn't travel in a straight line when I go
down a slightly sloping path with it.. it veers off to the
left and I have trouble stopping it.. sometimes I go into
a tree and get a bloody nose!.. other times I fall off and
hurt my bum!" "Pentax should put a steering wheel
and brakes on it plus some sort of bum padding"

Letter from Pentax...... Ask a 10 year old how to use a Skateboard

Ah! My father used to have a Contarex Bullseye!.......
Always buy German he said That's why I bought Pentax
