I'd bet if you sent their marketing dept a low-res-heavily-watermarked copy of it, they'd probably engage you in a conversation to buy the rights...

It is a stunning shot...

Joe and I collected a car full of big sticks for wittling-practice today... All of them once wittled down are covered in woodworm holes... Shame 'cos the one I'm working on is turning into a really nice walking stick and Joe's working on an 'Indian Smoking Pipe...

K-x is quality... Was my first DSLR but I'd still be looking for a K20 in your place...

After watching the film again I confirmed it was a Pentax, couldn't determine the model as it was only a brief glimpse, and the Pentax Strap stuck out like a sore thumb
Oh... An excuse to watch T2!!! I love a bad film!!!

Ring them up, they'll be happy to talk to you... I bought my K5 from them over the phone, stunning service

Thank you!
Yeah that 4th one was the hardest to set up... Very nearly dropped my K5 in a pool and there were lots of kids straying into the frame so it took a couple of attempts...

My mistake Bill, no worries... I don't think I've got any 'major' issues the FA50 is sharp but I don't think it's 'as sharp' as it was on the K-x...

My FA35 is as sharp or sharper on the K5...

I bought my K5 used from SRS so if and still have some waranty left on it - happy that if there was a major problem they'd sort it...

But it does seem that a lot of Pentax users use the AF-adjustment feature... Is this a feature specific to Pentax? As I don't hear about the CaNikon users I know using the feature on/for their cameras/lenses...

Well if there's anyone local to me who knows what they're doing with this stuff that would like to test and fine-tune/calibrate my K5 & lenses I'm happy to pop round and bring them ale...
