Silly question; is it possible that the sensors with issues were on "early adopter" bodies?

If you mailorder it, it will likely be stopped by customs and you *will* be charged duty if applicable, VAT on the complete cost and a "finders fee" from the postal service or courier. A way round this is to prepay (adorama and B&H both offer this service) but prices of gear are then generally no longer competitive.

The £390 will be purchase price at current exchange rates.

Personal import and mail order are two different things.

I'm not allowed to mail order alcohol but I can personally import it. The couriers have also changed their Ts&Cs to reflect this in the last year.

try riding gloves. They're frequently unlined, thin leather, which allows the use of a K10d in all conditions.

.... I've used my K10 in -30 without problems and between -20 and -10 regularly. I do not expect any issues whatsoever in those temps, it's only cold?!

Batteries should have a short life (hence three and keeping one in a zipped warm pocket) but everything else should work and I've not had a problem yet.

f22 on a white wall with flash should be pretty simple - I use this regularly for checking dust....
