Also have the same problem, even got one with a green border and took 3 photos and only got worse till it didn't make a photo any more.
Simply setting the camera off and on solved the problem though and it works fine afterwards, I've it 2 times a year...
Maybe pressing a button to fast after powering, i really don't know how it comes?

Don't forget that you also need that you need to chose 1 of the 5 grip colours as well, so you have 100 different colour patterns.

Here are all the combos link
And a more interactive version link

BTW do you also have different colours for the battery grip?

Silver with a black grip looks very good or maybe with a brown grip to be special or else gold with a brown grip might be nice.

Amin not a solution to your problem but something else.
The Pro 9500 use the chromalife inkt if I'm correct, Ilford says it is not recommended to use it on the gold paper link

Just something I came across since I can't find the profiles either but the gold one is under the pro9500 though but since they use different inkt I would not advice using that profile.

[quote:3496ace15f="Reuben0"In terms of "fun", I'm not so sure because it has a waist level finder with a laterally reversed image and no focussing aids.
At least the IIA had the ground-breaking innovation of the "Instant Return Mirror" - how spoiled we are these days

R[/quote]Indeed how spoiled we're now, even the tripods are light weight now and don't forget the ASA we can use these days.
If the photographers of those days would see someone with a DSLR they would say they aren't photographers probable.

Oh a little update on the camera.
I was on holiday this week and it is not for offer any more, it was €150 when I left a week ago so It might have gone for double the price.
Better luck next time.

Only the "creative" features not, all you need for photo editing is available, at least I never found a problem with that.

Would second that also
To make the shock bigger Martin that was the time I joined but only went active after I devirginize the "just joined" section of this forum, that was 30/10/2008

My defense is... that I had nothing better to do but not anymore though so won't be online that much anymore.

PS. Mike-P is also high up their compared to his join date.

faster card shouldn't help since the camera writes it to his own buffer (RAM), all a faster car would do is writing the information from the buffer to the card faster.

Do you have any features set on, like lens correction and such?
I know from the K10D that it shoot the fastest when using RAW, jpg needs more calculation to make so more time to make.
Just suggestings though that you could try it since I've no K-7 of my own

Build is simply good, the lens feel very solid and not cheap.
Their aren't a lot of problems with this lens simply a few unlucky ones with a broken SDM motor.
Focusing speed is reasonable, not a speed demon on the K10D but that's the slowest SDM AF camera I believe.
Focusing is on the money and it locks-on quite good.

What's the problem with the switch, I'm sure some here can help you with that.

Bought the DA*50-135 for the same reason Nathan did over the 70-200.
The lens has not let me down so far, even shot some motorsport with it.
The lenses was a bit too short for that though but in the studio for portrait the lens is completely in his element.

For a walk about lens I would keep the sigma 70-300 for that, it's much lighter then the F/2.8 zoom lenses and more range so much more suitable for that job.

The Tamron 90 is a great macro just like all the other current macro lenses, there truly isn't a bad one among them so choose the one that feels the best.

You were hitting the limits of the camera and lens.
F/22 is probable the highest f-number of the lens, right?

What happens is the camera meters and you tell him to use 30seconds.
He lowers the iso to his lowest (iso100) exposure is still to bright so the camera use a higher f-number but hits the sealing at f/22 and then the exposure is still to high.
If you would have taken the shot the photo would have been over exposed, I don't know if the camera lowers the shutter speed then so that you still get a good exposure though.

It really does not matter though what the camera does at that point, the only way to make the shot is to use a ND filter to block a part of the light that hits the sensor.
