Took a little visit to The Wolf Conservation Trust UK this week, all photos taken on a Pentax K-1 and D-FA 150-450mm, through a fence.

Post: Dehaze, sharpen, b/w conversion, levels - (more processing than I would normally do, but the fence made things a little soft)

I spoke to SRS late 2015 and they confirmed Pentax had stopped making the Qs.

I think there's a thread on here about it.

I seemed to have miss-placed the battery charger for my MX-1, I wondered if anyone has tried any of the 3rd party charger and would recommend one.

I don't really want to by a new Pentax one for £40, as my one will probably turn up at some point.

Thank you,

I forgot to say. I got a quick response from srs, they have yet to receive the first batch on the eyecups. I have yet to hear from Pentax UK.

For the moment I have ordered a cheapie K5/3 etc cup.

The K-1 eyecup has a slightly larger rubber bit and labelled FT, the K-3 II (labelled FS) does fit the K-1.

Hey all,

The eyecup on my K-1 took a beating while covering the Basingstoke Music Festival, has anyone seen any replacements for sale. The office Pentax store have them listed for £8.99 but out of stock

None listed on SRS.

Thanks,
