I find I always have one to hand, haven't forgotten to have one with me yet.

I'm very jealous!
Nice lighting too - looks like the diffuser? Did you get the same one as me or was that someone else?

Hope you enjoy the lens as much as I have been.

Daniel Bridge: Green bus:
...is that bus some kind of museum piece, parked for display only? The flat tyres and lack of tyre tracks seem to point in that direction.
Well judged, a tricky one again this week. We await the next round from John 'Cut and Paste' Riley!

I don't think we need an MTF setting to know we need to stop down to f8 or f11 for best results...

Simplest thing would be to return it to the shop and ask for a replacement. They may well say they'll send it for repair, but with a failure like that, I would push for a replacement instead.
Unfortunately these sorts of problems are bound to happen now and again with electronic equipment, and someone has to be the poor soul who has to deal with it. Hopefully, like Peter, you'll get it sorted soon and then have no further problems.

Not quite the same thing, but question to Daniel about the eyecap extension I saw on your K10 at Watford. Basically what is it, and where did you get it from?
Just realised that I can see a hell of a lot more in my viewfinder using my left eye and I guess that the eye cap thingy you use basically helps get your right eye up to the viewfinder better? If so if you could let me know the model and where to get it from, would be greatly appreciated (a pic would be great too!!)
It's just a rubber eyecup, like this one. Think it probably was a Jessops one too.
I use it as it blocks out any light coming from around your eye, so (a bit like using a lens hood) you get less flare, therefore more contrast, in the viewfinder, seems brighter too. I use my left eye, so can't comment on the right eye thing.
Hope that helps,
Dan
