No insurance, couldn't afford it ! (I know, I know).
BTW, Metz wouldn't fix the first one (now edited my post).
Looking for something else now, inexpensive with plenty of power and manual options. I found PTTL pretty hopeless most of the time.
In fact I was finding the K5 and Metz 58 combination utterly abysmal - totally unreliable metering. Tried everything. Couldn't update the firmware on the Metz because the app kept crashing. So it could have been that.
Any advice for a replacement? the Sigma 610 looks good except the lack of manual options. The Metz had an extraordinary range and flexibility and I think I'll miss this.
May be worth checking your house or contents insurance if you have same. My contents insurance covers all of my camera equipment, in the house or out and about, against theft or accidental damage, up to the value of £2000.00 for any one item.No insurance, couldn't afford it ! (I know, I know).

K5, now twelve months old, still on factory settings, not found the need to change anything.
Also no firmware updates.
Take care.

Cornwall for a week in just over a weeks time, (also packing the wellies), and the walking boots. Looking forward to a day at the Eden Project.......

To answer a possible question. No I have never been to the Eden Project and never will.
Hope you enjoy your stay in Cornwall, from a member of an ethnic minority (a true Cornishman).
Take care.
