I feel a great deal of sympathy for the staff of Jessops. The company themselves IMHO were a waste of space. Before the last clear out in Ipswich there were 2 stores within 50 yards of one another, can only be down to mismanagement. There was space in the larger one to accommodation the smaller store.

Hello Bert, Thanks for your question. MF is achieved using the four way controller. Select the right arrow to choose MF, the up and down arrows allow for manual focus adjustment.

Go easy on the Deep Heat!!!

IMO it`s great value for money. Handy to have as a point and shoot. Well constructed and the pull out screen is a revelation. IQ is as would be expected from Pentax. Colour rendition doesn`t leave you in doubt, the zoom is awesome even using a lot of digital. EVF, yup not perfect but I tend to use the rear screen.

Barry, can soon do a couple of whiskey tours in Suffolk. Adnams have started distilling and after 3 years and a day it can be called whiskey. Plus there`s St Georges distillery somewhere over near the Narfolk border. Normally do Skye or Mull with an overnight drive and shared driving. Aha! breakfast in Fort William! Had to wait for Mac D`s last time as one of the spotty`s had turned over a stillage from the truck. Milk and eggs everywhere but they scooped most of it back up.

Sorry Andrew! Still suffering from the last vestiges of NV or whatever the inglorious No Hope Society is calling it this year!

Holiday booking season has arrived, Mrs Cedric has found a place called Machrihanish that looks interesting. Campbeltown looks better with two distilleries!!! We shall see.

Same in our household! Knew it would be bad when Reggie n Ronnie came for a visit armed with toilet roll and number 11 on the top lip. Two days later and all hell broke loose from the nasal passages downwards.

TT I misplaced a T2 adaptor. Chunky great bit of ironmongery-it was stuck on my scope which although was not a problem was something I found a niggle. I assumed as soon as I bought another the original would turn up. NAH! it`s still in that place where everything is safe.

Gareth, glad you and bike are OK. It`s a real pain when it happens. Did it at the pump one day. Stopped but left foot slipped between gear change and foot-peg. No time for recovery so it was hang onto pump for dear life and wrench foot out before bike slid ungraciously onto forecourt.

Stuey, hope you did the same to both sides. Rule one of brakes always do the same to both sides on the same axle.
