All 2GB, except the Eye-Fi which is 8GB.

Clearly it's a spelling checker, not a grammar checker

Yes!

I took a picture the day after the clocks went back, and noticed that the time on it was wrong. I'd actually assumed that it would do it automatically, like Windows, but I guess that's a bit much to expect.

I'd like to sound smug, but I also noticed that I'd set the date wrong originally

How old is the 17-70? surely if it's within the warranty period it should be remedied for free....
Not sure. It's now third hand at least

It's in mint condition to look at, and it's not at all bad stopped down. I only noticed when I started taking some wide open shots and got some OOF-ness that made me look a bit closer.

For the record, I've no reason to think there was anything other than the most impeccable good faith in the transaction by which I came by it.

I have a DA 17-70 which back focuses more than the K-5 adjustment allows.

The repair/adjustment options available to me seem to be:

- Take it to Asahi Photo (they're quite close to me), who have quoted me "about £60", although they can't tell for certain if it can be fixed until they get it open

- Send it to Johnsons-Photopia via SRS

SRS's legendary service makes the latter option attractive, but the closeness and good reputation of the former makes it too close to call - I've never had anything fixed before, so I have no experience to base it on.

Any thoughts/views/experiences?

Ta.

Perhaps it would indicate a more considered approach generally, if the Terms and Conditions were also updated so that they didn't still say that the last time they were updated was 14/09/2009.

If you don't go you will miss the chance of a hat or a mug
I have two Pentax mugs from which I will drink in the privacy of my own home.

I would not wear a Pentax hat in public unless you paid me, or possibly for Children in Need or some such vehicle for looking ridiculous for charity.

However, I may still try and stop by on Saturday, since I feel it would be rude not to give the Pentax bloke a suitably hard time. You'll know it's me - I'll be the one whacking him and shouting "Are you level yet? Put that in your firmware and calibrate!"

Can’t, see a lot wrong with the in-flight images taken with the bigma.
Thanks, but they're really not very sharp. It was the end of the day, so there wasn't a great deal of light left, so I expect there's some shake in there.

That said, they do look a bit better clicked on, opened in a browser tab of their own, so I don't know what, if anything, the forum software is doing to them.

Strangely, the images are sometimes appearing *larger* than actual size, which is a right pain, since obviously they pixelate.

Being French, I sometimes get lost in the intricacies of foreign language. Could you explain the meaning of the above quote.
Sorry... I have no instrument rating, so having to get in and out of the thing in the rain is rarely an issue!!

A funny thought occurs to me...

We can have a thread about a Golf thread... but not a Golf thread.

Well it made me laugh, anyway.
Because THIS thread is about the forum and the forum is about photography, the Golf thread wasn't about the forum or photography.

Come to think of it, Ken should have started his post in the Pointless Thread, is'nt that what golf is
It was funnier before you explained it
