If you leave your camera switched ON... even after it switches
the displays off it's still using power and will go flat in a
few days.

Does that mean you can't sort the Desktop Icons with Win 7?
Not that it ever worked properly with XP though... every now and
again it would decide it was time to change the Icons to how
MS would prefer them

Keep an eye on ebay. You missed a good one two days ago
Vivitar 90mm f2.5 Macro 1:1 Pentax P/K link sold for just £77.99?
If you'd bid £78.00 you could have had it

Nice shots!
It annoys me that they tag birds... worse still when they
put transmitters and solar cells on them
I'd like to put a couple of tags on the noses of the people
that tag the birds and superglue a GPS transmitter on their
heads so that I can see where they go and what they get up to

They work fine with Pentax cameras, probably more info
on the US site than here although all you need to know
is that they work.
I use one with a K-5 to check exposure and WB.
Used it on a K20D before that.

They are actually underpriced, because of the rarity and would cost a small fortune new if made today. Wait until the Canon people pick up on them BtW there were 2 K 50 mm f1.2 on eBay on that day, both went for around £200 ( which I think is still overpriced for what it is)

A high reserve is like a BIN but not as good from the
buyers point of view, because he doesn't know what it is
and it's non-negotiable unless the item doesn't sell
I've just looked through a lot of the Pentax gear and a high start
seems quite popular. That guy from Portugal who's selling off his
collection has some start prices in the thousands Try
doing that with reserves and a £1 starting price
I couldn't find any Pentax sales with reserves?

I hate to think of the teething problems Pentax would have
with a FF camera. I think I'd wait for the 3rd incarnation/model if
I was buying one..... which I wouldn't
I might be tempted if the body was covered in
"white cobra skin"

In effect ebay is an auction where all the other bidders
drop off and your bidding against the seller via the unknown
reserve that he's entered
At least I now know how to get the highest price
if I sell anything on ebay
