Finally managed to match free diary dates and had an interesting meeting with doubled before doing the London tourist thing with the new toy.

Pleasant, hassle free transaction. Thanks very much

Having seen some horror-stories about warranty repairs, when my K1 failed last Friday I started re-thinking my (photographic) plans for a trip I'm taking to the Alps during the first week in July.

I took the camera to JP Johnsons (quite near to me) at around 17:00 Friday. At 11:30 this morning (Tuesday) they rang to say it was fixed, and did I want to collect or should they post it back. I don't think that could have given me a better service..

The problem was that the camera powered up in LV mode, and I couldn't get it out of LV mode.
The resolution "replaced the Mode Dial Assembly, cleaned Viewfinder Assembly & CCD, updated Firmware, check &test"

I'm currently wading through the menus to re-customize the camera, a very happy bunny.

I knew I shouldn't have responded to this thread....

Took my K1 to Johnsons for a warranty repair today.. Powers up in LV and will not exit from LV.

So it looks as though my backup K3 will go on holiday with me. Not the worst problem in the world, tho' I have to rethink which lenses to take now.

Nice....

#4 is especially nice.

I think that it's a good year for bluebells.

I keep 2 bodies so that in the event of problems with one body, I have a backup.

I have operated a "one in" "one out" policy with cameras, *istD+K10, K10 +K20, K20+K5, K5+K3 and now K3+K1. The *istD went to my to my grandson, the others were part-exchanged toward the new camera. Of the DSLRs I have owned, I was most comfortable with the K5 (for no logical reason that I can fathom).

I did think that current K3+K1 combination might be used differently, using the K3 with long lenses when I wanted more reach, but in fact I always find myself picking up the K1, leaving the K3 as insurance.

Duhh, I should have noticed

.

I have found the telephoto adapter but just an empty case for the wide-angle adapter, which suggests that the wide-angle adapter went with the flash.

I will be missing from home till next Tuesday, but If you want it, let me know.

I used this flash with the LX for years, virtually always in TTL. It worked very well.

I think that I've still got these diffusers somewhere. If you want them (and I can find them), you can have them for the postage..
