I think a factory re-set first, does this cure the problem, then check and update the Firmware as required.

This used to happen on my K7, fairly in-frequently thou and again the remedy was to drop the battery out .

Hi Steve / Gareth

Possible options to shoot the pier early Sunday 26th March - interested ?? Sunrise is due for around 07:04

Yes, but the fees both flea bay and PayPal hurt more than they used to, I now look elsewhere to sell.

Any company importing from the Far East or the USA using the dollar will have seen their cost base hit by a round 18% against the GBP , you can't absorb those sort of costs without having to increase your prices.

Try SRS before you go, chances are you'll get a decent deal, plus I would guess quite a few have been traded in for the K1, so you might get a deal on a used boxed version.

Hi Stephen,

Decent fast shots can be had with Pentax kit and the K1, I agree with Mike P that both Canon and Nikon have a higher keeper rate, but I take a different approach and don't " machine gun " a subject and get 20 shots of the same subject and delete 18 of them, When shooting alongside our Canikon colleagues, they do seem to just keep their fingers on the " Go " button

I take my time and shoot say just 4 and ensure the technique is good. below are 3 recent images with a K1, with old-ish sigma lenses, all seen on here before.










Other Pentax ( PU ) users, will have similar and better images than mine.

Hi Roy,

Yes, been thinking about it, I'm tempted to go 40" x 30"

It'll probably work in manual mode as cameras normally fire on the centre contact, makes will vary as to the position of the other contacts and their functions.

Nikons probably being more sophisticated than most due to the info shared between flash and camera and how they work as commander and slave.

Hi Mcpieman,

Here's the link, many sell out very quickly, the last one within 2 weeks and that was for 2 days, I've booked another shoot with a Vulcan at Wellesbourne for this October, I booked it last Nov and again it sold out within 7 days.

You just have to keep trying and be prepared to commit many months in advance, this was the first one I'd done and the comms / organisation was very good as well as being a relaxed shoot.

If you register for the news letter, you'll get notification as soon as the events go up on the web site.

Hi Royd63uk

Hobbyist, for my own interest. it was an organised shoot by TimeLine Events, I would be interested in publication, not sure where to start
