I used AnalogExif, which lets you work with JPEG and TIFF files.

If the K3 is available in April and replaces the K5 II and IIs then they have been ousted in only seven months? Pentax are not hanging about for once.

Best regards
IMO the K5ii/iis are so small upgrades to the K5 that they must have been meant to keep sales going while something else is ready, so it would not be so strange. I understand that low light focus improvements are important to some users, and they have rightly upgraded, but to most it is not a significant change.

With the recent announcement of the Nikon D7100 and the rumoured Canon 7D mkii Pentax must release a new camera with better specs to compete in the premium APS-C market.

Unless there is an AF fisheye version of the Samyang 8mm F/3.5 MC (IF) Aspherical in K-Mount, then all others are full frame AFAIK which means you only get 110° coverage and you lose more or less the whole effect, thus making it pretty redundant as a true fisheye!
The Sigma 10mm f2.8 EX DC fisheye is an APS-C lens

Try one of these.

Voltage is immaterial on the basic Spotties as they had a bridge circuit in the meter.

Small Battery Company are reliable, I have used them many times.
They also sell the Weincell, link. Same price, but voltage is 1.35v.

+1 for the Small Battery Company. I also buy from them and they are very fast and reliable, prices seem to be good too....

Carl,

info here: link

I use the weincell with my Spotmatic, a bit more expensive, but it has exactly the right voltage.

You can edit exit data with an exif editor and input the camera make and model again. That is what I do for scanned images and it works with ppg.

Depending on what computer operating system you use there are different free editors you can download.

The 90/2.5 Tamron might be an alternatve. Probably available at around £100.
And it is a very good lens. But you will have to add the cost of a pka adapter, they are quite expensive (£50?)

I have been using Topaz B&W Effects and I have been very happy with it, version 2 was just released.
