Are you sure that the camera contact pins are working? If the lens has black paint on the mount it won't work?... try a piece of alloy foil across the contacts on the camera then screw the lens on top of it.

If the 400mm has a detachable T-Mount (held on by 3/4 grub screws) it's easier to change that to a K mount... costs about £5 off ebay T or T2 Mount will work.

If you get stuck I've a spare genuine Pentax Japanese mount that I bought off a local dealer for £23 and would be happy to sell it to you for the same.

Nasty piece of software with a very bad reputation..... You might as well install a virus..... see link

Google will bring up load of other sites about it

That's great news Jacqui

Have a good trip Tony

The reason the RSPCA don't want to get involved is that they
are a charity and just don't have the resources to pick up and
take care of strays. It's probably the council's responsibility
(they even employ dog catchers).

In the Manchester area the police will give you details of
any kennels etc. that take strays, but you usually have to
take the animal to them.

Hope you get it sorted Jacqui..... your bank sound helpful, very
often they aren't All these crooks and dodgy dealers have
bank accounts..... it seems that most banks don't care where the
money comes from. It often needs police action to have a criminals
assets frozen

Happy Christmas to everyone on the forum

Your lucky you haven't seen how they throw stuff into the
van when they collect it from customers

I didn't think you were being serious and Capa wouldn't have even
dreamt that there would one day there would be an alternative
