I want to complain It seems that when I bought my K-5
I didn't get the Certificate of Competence in Advanced Moaning
AKA the Other Man's Grass Diploma I feel really left out

I'd like to moan about how the colours fade on the photographs I take
if I leave them in camera longer than 2 days, but I'm not certified
by Pentax to do that

If you look at Jessops site a lot of the Canon lenses aren't in
stock including No: 1 on the Advanced Moaners List (AML for short)
the 400mm f/5.6 link

Maybe Pentax do have a 400m f/5.6...... it just isn't in stock anywhere

It's nice to see some good photography in a competition rather than
the rubbish we have seen over the years in portrait competitions.

I can't fault any of them except maybe the Cheshire hunt one.

Hasn't it got a plastic bayonet as well?

The pin is in exactly the same position as the screw that drives the focus in the lens and it's the same hole that it gets stuck in. The 1st thing to try if you ever get one stuck is turning AF on, it may just push the pin back. After that a thin feeler gauge might go under.

A lot of the pins are rounded and don't get stuck.

I've never seen anything above the beginner models of
Canon and Nikon in any shop.... so it's a bit of a myth
that the £1,000 + cameras are readily available.

Never seen a FF of any make in a shop?

That's why they invented Hammerhead Flashguns

I voted yes, which is in a way correct - indeed I did buy a Pentax zoom lens today on Ebay. Then I did something to mark the occasion of Ricoh acquiring Pentax, I bought a Ricoh lens - it's an old prime, f1.4 50mm, all manual. I guess others were thinking along the same lines - the auction attracted nearly 60 bids! (incl auto bids). Any excuse to get a fast prime, even if not strictly speaking a Pentax.
you know about the lock pin issue don't you?
A lot of the Ricoh 50mm f/1.4's are earlier than that Don, but if it does have it it needs removing or grinding down.
