I haven't noticed any noise from the SR either if that's any comfort. I love how quiet the K20D is!

Thanks everyone.
The Pentax off shoe kit is also on ephotzine's shop site - I could get it there for only 54 pounds due to membership discount. The SRS shoe looks god though.
Will Amzon.co.Uk send such things abroad? I know they won't send a lot of stuff on the site outside the UK.

I'm glad you posted this Mike - I'm looking for something like that too! I have an AF360FGZ btw. I'd rather not have to join e-bay to but one though.


Off topic - I hear there was terrible weather in Alicante province this week - I hope it didn't affect you at all.

I like #1 the most too, and agree with your colleague! It has the feel of a Rembrandt!

Viewfinder maybe you can use a metal keyrings (or whatever they are called - also used for dog name tags and the like)to attach your strap. They will fit the lugs of the K20D. I have a holder for a spare card which uses a small metal keyring, which fits in the lugs of the K20D.

Mac, I have an Optech tripod strap. Wonderful thing. They make two different sorts - one for tripods with clip lugs and one for those (like mine) without.
An Optech camera strap is on my birthday list!
I already have their harness type strap which I use when hiking as it hold the camera comfortably against my body, and is great with a heavy lens. That uses plastic clips rather than the newer quick release system. i shall have to see if I can adapt it.

Surely the image tank doesn't alter the date in the Exif though - thereby making it possible to relate the photo to the itinerary? And if you back up every day then the folder will have the correct date to further help.

I shall stick to our old, screen free version - it reads anything - we used it to back up the GPS tagger as well as photos on our US trip, as it acts purely as a hard drive, with no OS.

I go for a fourth option - sometimes I home print, sometimes I outsource.
If I need something fast, and it's not too big I print it myself. For my course, when I need a lot of prints done I tend to go to my local Dixons and print the photos as 10x15 cm prints on the Kodak instant printing machine - cheaper and easier than home printing to be honest, and the quality is OK for showing at the course.
The maximum I can print is A4 so bigger prints, and smaller prints I want in top quality are outsourced.
I have also had a couple of albums printed now which is a nice way to show photos to people.

Hi Vic, Matt's said it all. I hope you can get it sorted out -it must be very frustrating for you!
