That little tip could save someone hrs of frustration

I wonder why they went with the wire from the grip to the body instead of the terminal between grip and body :
The grip and body don't seem to blend together as well as the K10 and grip it looks out of proportion and a tacked on after thought.

And what is the rectangular peice stuck on the left hand side of the body : Maybe that has something to do with the wire and is not the connection from grip to body :

I like the look and size of the LCD screen
By "rectangular piece", do you mean the flap covering the sockets?

Hey Mac

thanks loads for the tip on the batteries. Unfortunately I can't download the user manual from that site. All I get is an error message and informed that the file is damaged or corrupt!!!!!!!!!!!!

But thanks all the same mate.

The file is fine. You are doing something wrong. Right-click on the link, and take "Save target as" (assuming you're using Windows).

They're all good individually , but they work well together too. I love the textures.

The clouds make the first one, and the perspective the third. The middle one is more mysterious. Wish I could see it bigger.

Just been offered a Sigma 70-210mm Zoom Lens Fit Pentax KA Mount by a friend. Unfortunately he lives a far way from me. I know this is a manual focus but will it fit my K100D and does anyone have any views on this make and model lens?
If it's a Ka mount, it will work fine.

I've never disputed this.

It would be nice if everyone with talent such as that contributed to the forum's body of knowledge and helpfulness, as well as benefiting from it.
Forums are funny things. To quite a large degree, they are a reflection of the social/economic/educational status of the majority of members. People who don't/can't identify with the majority can feel excluded.

Pete was happy to pick our brains, but I suspect he never really felt at home here, hence his visits were of a business nature only, whereas for me and you, Chris, it's also a social thing.

He did George, and if I remember correctly, he bought another one within a week or so.
And the second one had just as much of a racket from mirror-slap, and the AF was just as slow...

And, dammit, the pictures were no better!!!



I am ogling his Metz though...

Pete,

You've shown us some great photographs taken with that kit. Why are you selling it?

Regards,
The last time Pete sold his K10D he had a bill to pay. Probably it's a bigger bill this time so the extras have to go too.

I would expect that if anything products would be brought to market more quickly though, because of improved funding.
And improved marketing know-how.
