What's the point! SH TC's aren't holding their
prices very well and are readily available on ebay.

Pentax/Hoya were releasing the 1.7x AF Adapter until
recently, but even that wasn't selling all that well.

There's already a GPS gizmo and Wi-Fi Cards.....
What's the matter with them

Nothing wrong with that...

K-5 160ISO

That's very impressive. The lighting around holes in
trees isn't usually very good, but the Q has coped well.

Green button in M mode is set to 'Tv Shift' I can't remember
ever changing it.

If I meter via the Green Button first it does change
to 2*T when I set auto bracketing drive mode, but it
doesn't seem to do it if I manually set the speed,
something does seem not right. I might have to experiment
a bit more.

If I manually set 1/400th as the speed I get the following
in the 4 menu settings.

1: 400 --- 800 --- 200
2: 400 --- 200 --- 100
3: 400 --- 800 --- 1600
4: 400 --- 200 --- 800

It looks like I'm safe using 1 or 4 even though I don't like the
sequence.

They were all done with the Drive Mode left in
auto bracketing.

Another useful tip in M mode is to press the AE-L button
when using a lens set on 'A' and the speed/aperture change
together when you move the front or rear wheel.
Handy for the Sunny 16 rule with say 100ISO set it
at 1/100th ---- f/16 and then move to something like
1/320th ---- f/9

That looks great It's surprising how easy some lens
front elements are to work on. I don't think you'll have
any more problems with that one.

It sounds like they have rectified the error on the K-5IIs
On the K-5 I can't get 2*T in the 1st position, which is
annoying because I like to see bracketed shots 2*T, T, T/2
or the reverse T/2, T, 2*T..... in critical situations I
number the files on the PC with and A, B ot C prefix to
set the sort order I want.

Has anyone else managed 2*T, T, T/2 on K-5 with v1.14
firmware (latest). ?

I use one of these..... ebay

Works up to 100M away IR. Because it's cheap it has the
Nikon cable for wired use, which you don't really need.
The Pentax one would be small jack to small jack, so
easy to pick up.

The actual IR transmitter is universal and works with
Pentax, Canon etc.

.

I have one in Lancashire Is that far enough?
