Great shots Peter, good focus on the eyes, but glad it was your doorstep and not mine.
Take care.

Wish the explanation were that simple, did not have any lens caps for the Yashica Mat. Spotmatic II, would be a bit difficult to use with a lens cap on. As no live view then. Sounds like you spookily forgot to take the lens caps off!
I had used both cameras hundreds of times before, both for pleasure, and commercially, never a problem, and this problem never occurred again.
I have agonised over this time and time again, and cannot find an answer, other than spooky.

Hi.
Has anyone ever been photographically spooked, or an experience that is unexplainable.
Many years ago my wife’s auntie and uncle had their silver wedding party, I was asked to photograph the event.
I used my Pentax Spotmatic II, with B&W film, and a Yashica Mat, with colour neg film. I had an independent flash unit for each camera.
A number of films were used in each camera. The B&W films from the Spotmatic, I processed myself, the colour film from the Yashica, sent for commercial processing and printing.
The spooky, unexplainable thing, every single film was blank ??.
Take care.

Hi again
The last post from Gwyn to Mike-P is not fair (IMHO) because a problem was reported, commented apon and discussed - surely the point of a forum. I am in competition with my close friend and photographer who has a Nikon 300 and always carry the flag for Pentax especially with the cost and weight (lack of) of Pentax or Sigma lenses that do not need IS.
However, I previously had a K7 which I sent back to Pentax 3 times for auto focussing problems but I have been happy with the K5. I am delighted that we have a forum to discuss and broadcast problems, issues and the advantages of Pentax.

I think “Gwyn” was making a valid point, as this forum only represents a very small minority of K5 owners/users.
Which means we have to acknowledge, there are probably a lot more K5’s out there with faults, but also there will be many thousands of owners/users, completely happy with their K5 cameras, that will remain completely anonymous.
I must declare an interest, as I am an owner of a K5.
Take care.

Sod the sensor, think about your eyes, they are irreplaceable.
Sensors are ten a penny in comparison.
