I am tidying up the blackhole known as the camera shelf and came across this..
Pentax 49mm Close-up lens S40
A PU member gave me this sometime ago on the proviso that I made a donation to a charity of my choice.
I am happy to pass this lens on to another PU member as long as they agree to make a donation to a charity of their choice.

I have been trying the fish eye today. You have to be really careful not to include the finger on the focus ring.

I love it. I bought the Q neoprene bag at a fair price and now the camera fits in my work rucksack and goes out with me everyday.
I agree about playing with it. The battery life is low but with a few non pentax batteries it is manageable.
I just need to work out how the integral phone, MP3 player, mobile broadband and the Freesat tv all work
For a novice like me it really frees you up for some reason.

Solved it
For some reason I had shake reduction on during live view (mode 2). Once I set it back to mode 1 there was lovely silence The noise must have been the shake reduction continualy altering as it says in the manual this does drain the battery.
Not sure how that happened but it did.

There was someone on the forum not long ago praising Mathers. http://www.mathersoflancashire.co.uk/ this is where im getting it. Im going buying it tomorrow and they have it in stock so I will be getting it straight away.
I bought a back pack from them and they were good, it was a very good deal.

Thanks John. I know I was vague but the noise is difficult to describe. whirring and creaking like a computer searching for something.
I will recheck the settings and hope I pressed a wrong button or put the lens on wrong!

For example the Q 06 lens was due in the shops at the begining of October and the retailers advertised it on that premise. It is now mid November and still no lens has appeared on the shelves.
Not a gripe just a thought
