Another vote for not having on line storage.
No one, I don’t know to upload images to web sites.
No two, I assume your images are available to everyone.
No three, what if the site where your images are stored, closes down.
I have my images stored on the computers inboard hard drive.
Plus copies on three external hard drives, I hope, as I don’t know how to check, but know a man that does.
Take care.

Just received a 7dayshop Remote Control for Pentax (Bargain at £2-99 or so I thought...)
On my K10D - Press Fn, set drive mode to Remote Control - icon appears on LCD, red lamps front and rear blink. Press shutter release on remote....nothing!
Is there some subtle custom function I'm missing (i.e. I am "thick"!) or do I have a "dud"?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry, can’t help with any suggestions for your IR remote. But if it is any consolation, I purchased a genuine “Pentax” K10, IR remote, and I never ever got that to work. Just received a 7dayshop Remote Control for Pentax (Bargain at £2-99 or so I thought...)

So purchased a plug in cable remote.

Hi David.
I also have a K10D, just upgraded to a K5, but still using the K10, as it’s a very good camera.
Try SRS for your K to 42mm adaptor.
Take care.

I've just bought one of these lights and thought I'd have another go at macro with the DA* lenses.
The problem is that the Teleplus (sorry: Teleplus) tubes I have - which have the electrical contacts - seem to freak out the K5. Now, it did it with the K7 and IIRC the K20D as well. It's almost like the camera is confused, knowing that the lens should be SDM focused, but not able to communicate.
Now, I'm not one to take this without a fight
So, first thing: switch the lens or body to the MF setting. When the lens is on AF, the "MF" sign flashes madly in the viewfinder. (But I've lost focus confirmation ability!) With that, I can take shots through the viewfinder...
...but, odd things are going on. Holding a button down doesn't auto-repeat anymore (unless you slightly dismount the lens). Oh, and Live View doesn't work - the camera just opens and closes the shutter. Pah
I did manage to get it to work by holding the lens release tab and slightly rotating the lens.... but it's not working all the time
It's such a shame that Pentax can't update the firmware to allow for this situation. But, I admit it's low down on their priority - supporting a third-party extension tube!
My only other option is to modify the tubes to mask out one of the contacts - so the body thinks it's got an unidentified lens attached that still supports "A" aperture.
Will keep you posted

I have been looking at those LED lights from “7Dayshop”, what is your opinion, please.
Many thanks.
