Metz has just released the updated version of their 58 flash, the 58-AF2. Besides some hardware changes they have introduced a "servo flash mode"
The servo mode and support for rear curtain sync with the K-5 and K-r have been introduced for the older 58-AF1 as well through a firmware update.

You can download the update here:http://www.metz.de/en/photo-electronics/firmware-download-flash-units/mecablitz-58-af-1-digital/pentax.html

When you see a 'grainy' appearance through your viewfinder it's simply due to the smaller aperture of the lens. When you look through the viewfinder you're seeing the focusing screen which is make of clear plastic, but it isn't smooth, it's textured (not sure what the technical reason for this is, but I'm sure there is one). The smaller the aperture, the more visible this texture becomes.
You can see the screen as a projection screen. When you look through the viewfinder you are actually looking at the image projected on the screen by the lens and mirror.

Nice piece of software. The Pentax software refuses to work on Windows 7 in the 64bit flavour so an alternative is very welcome!

In regards to dirty contacts, I have cleaned my K20D when it was 6 months old and I was amazed on how much dirt came of them.
I cleaned them with a cotton tip and some 96% alcohol.

My dad had a number of Canon lens failures with the EOS 1000 film camera he had. With all of those lenses the ultrasonic drive system died.

Neil,
Our first item could help Wedding Photographers, but the items that we will bring to the table in the next three Months or so certainly will.

I asked and got confirmation that "it" will allso be available for the K10D/K20D eventually. It is something that has to be custom made to suit every DSLR they are going to put it out for.
If it would have something that would not be available for the K10D/K20D it could have been something for movie recording but that option is out of window for now.

(that is a lot of somethings and would have's in one post... )

This is interesting:

KODAK TRUESENSE Color Filter Pattern. This advanced technology provides a 2x to 4x increase in light sensitivity compared to a standard Bayer color sensor by adding panchromatic (or “clear“) pixels to the standard red, green, and blue elements that form the image sensor array.
