Seems to be a German company and they have good feedback. Worth a try. You won't get a two year guarantee on it though - only the one year international one.

T'was but a joke. Makes a change from whingeing Scousers/Poms/fill in your own subject

But the Scots do tend to go on about the clocks changing more than the rest of the UK. At least that is the impression I get from listening to Radio 4.

PS isn't it great how a simple reminder to change the clock on your camera turns into a political row

Of course it will, what with the whingeing Scots and the Euro sceptics not wanting to go on to Euro time. Unless of course Europe does the same and we stay on GMT+2 all year round. Suits me, though it will be very dark in the mornings mid winter.

For those of you in Europe - don't forget to reset the clock in your camera for summertime
Along with the microwave, alarm clock, mobile phone, car etc etc. I always manage to forget to change something until a few weeks have gone by (usually the camera . )

If you keep the button pressed on either remote it will take all the shots, but again not if you only press once.
Weird that they changed it in the firmware update though.

I assume it is the same as on the Ds - you have to keep the shutter pressed until all the frames are taken. Lift your finger off before that and it will stop taking the photos. Same if using a remote control.

Hi Sockpuppet. no experience with Jacobs, but the info on the warranty that I have from the Pentax NL importers is that you only get a one year international warranty if you buy it from abroad-the second year only applies in the country of purchase. I don't know how true this is - obviously they want me to buy through them rather than through Pentax UK for instance.
Someone on another forum pointed out that the camera is more likely to go wrong in the first few weeks than in the second year. My Ds has never had a problem and whilst the K10D/20D is a more complicated piece of kit I see no reason why they should go wrong either, apart from if you get a duff one to start.

Maybe you could also look at other European sites for your camera, as you are based in Spain, so you can pay in Euros. German sites tend to be cheaper than others. Not sure how prices are in France. The K10D has not dropped in price as much in Europe as it has in the UK it is true, but you may find a bargain.

Me either. Not sure I even want to visit a country with spiders like that

Clarky, shame about the grass over him, but I understand that (s)he would not have been happy with you improving the scene any.

You mean you don't only have huge creepy crawlies in Australia?

Any one know if this lens really is SDM only? over on depressingreview they seem to think so : http://tinyurl.com/22n28q
