Honestly, 14 days? Get the smallest HP laptop you can find in Currys - I bought one for 150 pounds for Madagascar and it's done great - good to catch up on news and emails when you have wifi access. Battery life is good. But it is compact and light. Load up with PhotoLaboratory (the pentax software from the support site) and you can feed the files from SD cards onto the 2 externals simultaneously.

Means you can inspect the images quickly and sort out any problems (like me having changed by WB setting for a sunset one day and not reset it the next day, everything comes out fake tan orange)....

If you shoot RAW on card 1 and JPEG on card 2 then you really only need to download the RAW images as the JPEGS take less room and longer to fill a card.

I tend to learn the hard way when I go out for a day and realise I hadn't formatted my card before going out and therefore not confident I've downloaded them, only to discover the capacity of the cards is reduced.

YEEESSSSSSSSSS!

Where's my commission????

I dropped my FA 50 mm in Bruges a few years ago, no obvious damage but when JPSS looked at it they said the bayonet mount was distorted and the cost of repair was £50. When my D-FA macro broke in half after the tripod blew over, it cost only £80 to repair

I find that when things break through wear and tear of defect then it becomes expensive...

Another option. Send your lens to JPSS (or its’ successor) for repair. Predicament solved, doesn’t stop you from buying a replacement, but a damaged lens is an irritation par excellence.

Why has no-one bought this? The F50f1.7 is a fantastic lens.

Beat this Chris..

Ricoh price for K70 plus 18-50 is £520
Ricoh price for K70 plus 18-50 AND 50-200DA.........£999!!!!!!!

£479 for a DA 50-200!!!! Got to be good

Just the fact I have FA*80-200 & DA*60-250 and Nikkors covering that length which will necessitate making room first. I am reluctant to part with any of them

great image - marvellous place - was there last year. Would go back there in a shot.

I remember getting packs of 5 Elitechromes for €20 - WITH PROCESSING VOUCHERS in 2012...want to give this stuff a try.

a piece of opaque white plastic about the size of a postage stamp that covers the contacts - I presume it is with the packaging you admit you don't have....
