In the 70's you could get a small shoulder mounted brolly (about 20" square) called the Reflectasol Soff Shoulder very handy especially with a 2nd diffuser on the flashgun. It took up to two flashguns. I've still got mine, but I normally use it on stand.

Picture of one in this thread link

Why not give them all to a charity shop?

Would anyone be interested in it? It has a temp memory card fault. Its photos one minute then not the next, generally works when you check if its working then doesn't when you grab it to take a shot.
Pentax reckon a new memory card pcb. its in great condition otherwise complete with 18-55 and all boxed
Not sure of value but if anyone is then i'll take some photo's of it.
Have you tried a different make of SD Card?

It's different but then it's not a "Speckled Hen"

Why don't you just use the smallest size i.e. 800px and submit that to the other forums as well?

I agree with Gwyn the listing can become a horrible mess if an image is shown wider than 800px.

There is a way of inserting a link to a larger size which loads in another tab when the 800px image is clicked.

The silver (or aluminium)will be coated to stop it corroding, not sure if it's anti-static or not, but it's better left alone.. too easy to scratch.

Not really relevant to cameras, but this "how to" shows you how to make a mirror. It doesn't go as far as coating it.

On the K20D it's a Custom setting called "WB Adjustable Range" and it needs to be set to "Fixed" to stop the camera adjusting the WB when it's been set to say "Daylight"

WB set as daylight (you canīt leave it on auto for this technique)
It might sound strange but this isn't a fix value with Pentax it actually just limits the Auto mode to whitebalance you get with Daylight.
So it might be better to use custom white balance instead.
Setting custom white balance is one easy solution. There should also be a Menu setting that stops the camera from fine-tuning the Daylight setting.
