Been trying to get some of these doom-sayers to donate to my lens fund (they divn't need it if it's going to end), none have took me up on it, obviously, they ain't fully behind this end of the world talk, swines!

Great shots, how long was the exposure for the Nebula?

Sadly the duty free prices are not RRP - VAT, last time I looked into the retailer, Newcastle and Heathrow, there was no pentax and as mentioned they only price matched, was not very impressed (cost and available models) as I was looking to make some nice savings.

If I remember right the warranty is transferable for a £10 admin fee, can't find my paperwork though.

Arrived safe and sound, cheers.

Working on it

Make sure you not in bulb, self timer or remote for shutter release, I think that is about all that will disable the SR, but there may be another option or two that will disable it.

Have 2 of the 2000mAh clones, after a FRESH charge they are great loads more shots than off the standard battery.

IF and only if you store the battery for an extended period in my case 3-4 weeks the clones do not have as much residual charge left and go flat quickly. The OEM battery though whilst a reduced amount of shots no-where near as drastic fall off and will take more shots.

I am still glad I have the 2 batteries off ebay for 1/8 the price of OEM not had any worries with them.

Best wishes Stan, hope it is a great day.
