Well the 2nd k-5 is working OK front focus wise.

What I've noticed with all 3 K-5s now is that with 1.03 focussing is inconsistent
Do you mean ALL focusing or just low light level focusing?

Otherwise I would have loved to join you

I had a bizarre experience today. I was in one of the cheap supermarkets which I normally avoid but they have one item I cannot find elsewhere. While negotiating a route through the chavs it went through my mind that something seemed wrong. After a moment's consideration it struck me. The music playing over the tannoy was Handel's Messiah, specifically the Alleluia Chorus. I waited for someone to start ranting "King of Kings - ain't no fing" but it didn't happen.

It was really surreal.
They play Classical Music outside supermarkets to stop yobs hanging around

Nice shot.... was it the DA* 300mm or did you manage to make a Nikon or Canon lens fit the Pentax ?

Nice portrait, I like the eyes and face, but not too keen on the hand and all the red at the bottom. I would crop it at the chin or some people might frown just above the bottom of the chin?

There was an article in a camera mag last year about how to waterproof a Canon with a large piece of polythene and two 100 CD/DVD used tubs/spindles

Sounds like Trading Standards need to be informed.

If you look at the centre of the target you will see a 6mm white circle, another 100mm square with a similar circle at the centre was on the sheet. The idea was to make holes at the centre of both and use these (about 100mm apart) to align the camera with the target - the front hole needs blocking with something before testing of course - just in case

It's not Smeggys fault though ..... I didn't include instructions

Vic.
We can forgive him then

Superb shots, I suppose if I had to pick a favourite it would be No:1
