There's probably a setting in the camera menu to allow
AF with a remote, similar to the K20D

I've bought cheap K-20D batteries that haven't had any covers.

A piece of masking or electric tape would do at a push.

I wonder if they stopped supplying these to cut down on the
use of plastic

Some jobsworth has probably calculated that one battery cover
uses as much plastic as 3 carrier bags

Probably overlooked that if the contacts get shorted out it
can cause a serious fire! and get dumped in landfill

Thanks Gary, I try to use Pentax jpegs as much as possible, but
also save the DNG files. I might download a demo of Viveza to see
what the selective controls can do.

Hi Gary, have you ever used the full version of Nikon Capture
on Nikon RAW (PEF?)files (Adobe and Nikon seem like they don't get
along so it doesn't take DNG files). If you have used it...
what do you think of it? It was developed by NIK I believe,
so it's possibly similar to Viveza... seems a pity that it
won't take DNG from what I've seen it looks quite powerful.

There's also the Pentax A and F 24-50mm f/4's which are almost as sharp
as primes at f/4. I've got both and would say the 'A' was slightly better
and my copy is spot on infinity at the INF setting. The F goes very
slightly beyond infinity.

Ricehigh uses a Pentax 24-90mm (on a Canon I think) and he's compared it with Canon lenses.

Mattmatic and George on this forum have had them. It was supposed to be a good lens and the owners tend to hang onto them.

One sold on ebay in Nov. for £165 which is low link
