Why has no-one mentioned the very capable FA24-90?

On the basis that on a day's shoot I always have to change cards because one is full, I use the SD card readers on my desktop and laptops. If I am downlowding from a CF card out of the D810 - I will use the card reader (a HAMA) for any SD cards out of the K-1/K-3 or the Nikons as well. However, using the D500 is another matter as the XQD cards require their own card reader, and if you slot that directly into the computer it blocks access to the other USB and SD slots (I know you can get round that)...

I can't recall ever tethering any of my DSLRs to a computer.

Might just be worth telling guys what lenses the soft lens pouches are designed for...if stuck the pentax bible (http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp) is usually a good source...

S90-160 is for the 50-135.
S100-140 is for the 16-50

Should say not exlusively so, but just gives you the idea of the size/capacity

I've just had to source 2 pouches from Japan - the S100-120 and S120-150

now if someone had a S80-120/

Hit rate with D500 is phenomenal, clicks into focus instantly, Then there is the buffer..

D7100 was better, but with a buffer of 5 shots, it went to a new home....D7*00 is no match for K-3 in most other respects.

Actually the K-3 didn't do too badly on Saturday...

I went Friday and Saturday. The N@k#ns came on Friday as I wanted to capture speeding stuff and the K-3 and K-1 came yesterday so that I could get all the other stuff going on around the circuit. First outing for the K-1, I really enjoyed using it (attached to my FA*28-70) so it's off to Malvern tomorrow with the 15-30....K-3 refuses to die, really I might get better photos if I had the shake reduction turned on....

I did come across other Pentaxians amongs the Canikon hordes - one guy with I think a K5ii and the 18-135 exchanged glances and a nod, anyone on here?

If you've not gone I would thoroughly recommend it. Long way for those north of the M4, bad enough if you're within the M25.
