Thanks

Always a good sign if you're asked back..

At our club we give feedback on each of our presenters and the judges. If there is little feedback the evening was considered a success... A poor evening is characterised by considerable criticism (occasionally non-constructive) on the forum... We have had many excellent evenings and some which are more memorable because they were SO BAD.

that's just showing off

much appreciated John

THanks to both Johns. I have both cameras and the difference in finish is quite remarkable, to such an extent I cosset the Z-1p and chuck the Z-1 about... would you post an image of the outer surface so that I can be sure it's for the Z-1/Z-1p (I don't mind what finish it is).

Thanks
Peter

Funny thing is:

it's absolutely essential on the Z-1p, but can manage without it on the Z-1.

I was introduced to the grip by my old neighbour who had one fitted to his Z-1, I notice the image has a groove for the panorama switch, need to check mine is identical.

Something I am accustomed to on the Z-1p is the wrist strap/grip combo... makes the camera easy to hold

and to this day I have not seen anything offered that is as good as this item - products from Optech and Black Rapid are just slings that you tie around your wrist and fixed to the camera by the tripod mount.

Wouldn't it be nice if Pentax, on the next battery grip, male a modification to the design to allow a nice Pentax branded grip to be fitted, much in the style of the Z-1/Z-1p grip? something comfortable to use and doesn't compromise the fitment of the camera to a tripod.

I always use FOLIX screeen protectors, cheap and easy to fit.

Hi John,

which camera model is the FD release socket cap for? compatible with the Z-1 body?

Thanks

Peter
