Just a question, why would you want to lug around an extra piece of equipment, especially one that could be easily damaged, if you just want to free up memory card space, why not just get a few more memory cards, they are now as cheap as chips, plus you would not have the hassle of extra kit, as you could carry a lot of memory cards in your pocket/bag, without knowing they were there.

If I have missed the point/reason, you want to carry a laptop/net book, I apologise.


Take care.

Hi Kirsty.

Have a look on, (Premier Ink & Photographic), web site for a good selection of filters, adaptor rings, plus many more items of useful photographic equipment.

This is a good trusted supplier, with very good customer service and advice.

Sorry I don’t know how to do the link thing to sites.

Disclaimer I do not have any connection with, Premier Ink, other than being a very satisfied customer many times over.

Take care.

If you want low calorie, try mangelwurzel (from German mangel/mangold) a root vegetable, mainly used as animal fodder, but was feed to British prisoners of war.

When I was a child, the farmer just down the road from us, had been a prisoner of war, and had been feed on a diet mainly consisting of mangels. This resulted in him refusing to grow mangels, and feed to his livestock.

Take care.

I was talking to a fisherman to day, and when it comes to predicting weather they are as good if not better than farmers.

The weather here today has been overcast with a strong north east breeze, so a lot colder than the past few days.

I said to him I hope the past few days was not our summer, his reply to that was, through this past winter, he has had few days held in harbour due windy conditions, and unfortunately if we have a winter in this part of the country without a few good gales, it is usually followed by a poor summer.

Then he rubbed salt into the wound, by handing me is house keys, so my wife can feed his cats, because he and his wife are of to India, for three weeks.

Have to say it looks as if that K10 is working well.
It also looks like it has got into the hands of a good driver.

My wife has just been to the local Morrisons for the weekly shop.

The queue to get in to the fuel station is backed up onto the main road, when she finally got into the car park, she found that cars are racing each other through the car park, to try and jump part of the fuel queue.

When she came out and back onto the road, which is within the 30mph zone, she had to pull over, because there were two cars racing side by side, trying to get to the queue first.

Do we now live in a lunatic society ?.

I dead to think what would happen if there was a real emergency in this country.

Take care.

George, many thanks.

I don’t think it’s a problem with the lens, as all functions work.
As I said in my post it only occurred when I was to close to the subject, and the lens/camera started hunting for focus.
Which I put down to user error.

I used the same lens on my K10 and deliberately, went in to close for the lens to focus, as I would expect it just hunted and failed to focus, then pulled focus as I move back from the subject.

At this time its not a problem for me as I have identified, exactly the conditions at which the K5 locked, it was just a heads up for Philip, to try and pinpoint his problem.

The one thing I do notice, this lens pulls/locks focus, quicker on the K10, than it does with the K5, again not a problem, just an observation.


Take care.
