Hey Clarky, I'm a little further along in my video project (tough to find time, it's wedding season for me)...
got some music I wrote and some sound effects.
just need a good "Screamer" and the end clip for my cooking show is done.
Do you think it's good? there's a scene or two in the show done on my pentax d-slr also!
I'll let you guys see the whole show, when It's done hopefully next month, if you're interested.

Hilarious You need the scream put in just as you pull back the curtain, but it needs to be a chicken type scream Begeeeeeerrrreeek Hey Clarky, I'm a little further along in my video project (tough to find time, it's wedding season for me)...

I'm not laughing, I have a bit of a strange problem, where I get, what I assume is dirt on the sensor, but it only appears intermittently, maybe on 10% of shots, and not even on consecutive shots, note the top R/H corner,
I assume it's a virus I caught from 'Clarky', where one of his spiders just drops it in, to spoil my shots
I've tried blowing it out, ( rocket, not gob ), but to no avail.
It's easy to clone out, but it really bugs me.
Next attempt at getting rid of it will include, "Rocket Blower', Dyson vacuum cleaner, and a bottle of Jack Daniels, ( just to calm my nerves, you understand !!! ).

THe spores are everywhere in the air and might well be already inside the lenses when new.
We keep our current kit in Billingham bags, but little used stuff is on a open shelf, dry, with plenty of air circulation.
So what you are saying is they are just waiting for the right conditions to propogate :THe spores are everywhere in the air and might well be already inside the lenses when new.

I'm with you Mike, i'm not sure how its spread but i do believe its contagious as i have seen bags where one lens was infected and after checking the others it was found in those also.
But these were bags left idle for a considerable length of time.
What is the consensus regarding the DA* lenses in regards to them getting fungus : They are well sealed i'm lead to believe and would expect it to be near impossible to get any spores inside them.
Am i talking crap or is this a known fact :

Arrived this morning at 7:10 from SRS. As usual service was above any beyond the call of duty.
My initial payment got referred because it was a large amount. Unfortunately not being present I didn't find out until after Citylink had done their daily pick up from the shop. Chris emailed me and I phoned him as soon as I could after talking to the bank. No further problems there other than the missed despatch, so Chris had the item sent from the local post office
Can't post an LBA post without a photo so:

It looks like fungus to me. Is that the DA 16-45 you just purchased. :

I paid £350 a couple of years ago for mine with kit lens & battery grip from well known UK dealer . same dealer now selling K10D with kit lens for £350 , so I'd guess *istD probably worth around £200 - £250 ??
