I have just received acmaxx through for my k3, yet to fit though tomorrow that will be done once I'm sober enough.

K3 is different it is in the menu system, if I remember correctly the same page as the format option for the SD cards, it is at the bottom of the list anyway.

Chris, thanks for posting your problem with an update...I am not alone!!!

I have spent the last hour trying to update my K3. For some reason pressing the Menu Button whilst switching on the camera does not display the current firmware version, nor start the upgrade process either?

Is the K3 different from the K10-K20-K7 or the K5 in the way an update is applied. Just checked with the K5 and pressing Menu at startup shows the current version. K3 refuses to play using that combo. Can see the firmware version by going through the menu screen.

Going to take the Christmas tree down now and pack it away for another year. Hope someone may have some advice re the K3 update problem I have by the time I log in again.

Knowing my luck it's a camera fault?

OR, it could be an age thing

K30 or K50 would be very nice, the 55-300 could very well pick up on here for a very nice price, they have been going very cheaply of late for what you get.

Is this not just SRS now? I cannot find anything that confirms 2 year warranties from Pro dealers.

I am kind of swinging towards holding onto the 18-55, if both lenses are pretty much a muchness in the 18-55 there is no real need to get the 18-135, the £325 price was what was getting me interested.

After looking at how often the K-r stayed in the bag for lousy weather even after getting a few of the covers and using tesco carriers I decided the weather protection was worth the jump, I reckon I should wait a little while see if I need the extra reach in the wet stuff, I may be suffering from a little of the post Christmas sale offers 10% off lenses and that, may just keep the remaining savings and go for one of the DA* next year

Okay I have just upgraded k-r to K3 mainly for weather resistance (living in Cumbria and that) anyway I was going to order the 18-135mm to accompany the k3 when I thought about I already have the 18-55wr. In this range is the 18-135mm any better?

Currently in the zoom range I use the 17-70 and 55-300 and really love the 55-300, so thinking about this would I be better getting the 55-300hd and selling my non-wr version to complement the k3 and the da18-55mm-wr?
