James it looks like a torture device for strawberries

Doug what I mean was a device like this used for programming the chip Comment Image

But instead of the chip going into the device the device goes over the chip.

I know you've such things for the WII, that's where I know them from but I don't know if you've them for EEPROM and if it works with them.

Doug isn't there a way to hook the EEPROM directly to a computer and force firmware on to it, I thought you had special adapters for that but I can be so wrong since I know very little about this.

I spoke to an electronics engineer, he said *most* electronic stuff can be forced to power on and the firmware reinstalled over the failed copy. It's only data on an an eeprom after all!
That was precisely my thought.

Will write Pentax here a letter and pretend to have the same problem and see what they advice me.

Not very useful on digital since you can do all that in PP but for your film cameras it would be fun.

Actually it's the other way around. The FA43 is sharper, especially at the most used f/2.8 and f/4 apertures. Please see the Photozone tests.
Not according some tests from another forum.

Very nice portrait Chris, you're making a lot of members jealous here


I think around Photokina we might know more about the 645D, I'm pretty sure they would have some there to try out and it's a good opportunity to see how the European market react to it.

I never thought they would need to replace the whole motherboard if a firmware install fails since nothing is physically broken, there are some electronics expert here that can surely tell you more about it.

Maybe it might be helpful to contact Pentax from another country and see what they say. If you want I could write a letter to Pentax Benelux for information about it and how much they say it might cost.

Question: How do you manual focus on the DA-L 55-300? No Quick-Shift per reports, and no MF/AF Switch as far as I can see ...
MF/AF switch is on the camera like John says.
You can operate it with your left hand when you hold the camera, it's on the front next to the lens.

On the Japanese site there is a price, 1.350.000 Japanese yen = 10.050 British pounds and of course don't forget VAT, import taxes and shipping
