Update on the service from this supplier - I ordered the battery at about 11pm Thursday, it was delivered 11am Saturday morning.

I'm well impressed

I've had email notification to say that it was despatched today so service seems good.

Peter,

I'm sure the pleasure of having helped a fellow Pentax user is more than adequate reward - in fact, when I think about it, maybe the two of you could pay for the battery to maximise the warm glow that you get from helping us newbies.

On a serious note, I have asked a few questions on this forum now - all of them have been answered promptly by knowledgable, experienced Pentax users, it's a valuable resource and adds to the pleasure I get from my photography.

thanks again,

Haydn

I need to buy a battery for my k10d

Prices range from about £4 on ebay to around £50 for a genuine Pentax.

Being a cheapskate I'm tempted to go for the cheapo ones but, on the other hand, don't want to damage the camera.

Anyone have any experience of using generic replacement batteries :::

Hmmm,

Nice picture - I hope the results from mine look as good.

Kris,

Works perfectly - thanks for the advice.

Should have thought of that myself (the fact that it's a manual focus lens provides a bit of a clue :blush

Help !!

Just tried my old pentax manual focus 50mm f1.7 on my new K10d - fired a couple of frames off without problems and then the shutter refused to fire - tried the 18-55mm kit lens and the camera works fine.

Also tried the lens on my Samsung GX1S -same thing -shutter won't fire.

Any ideas anybody ?

Any ideas for a coastal location - the theme for our local photography group's monthly challenge is 'coast' so I'm looking for a good location within a couple of hours drive from Manchester.

Boats pulled up onto the beach was the idea that I had but finding a location is proving a problem.

Might give me the chance to play with my new toy as well, refurb K10d from Srs microsystems should arrive tomorrow
