John, grazi mille! I shall download the Exif tool then. I see Phil Harvey is at Queens University in Kingston Ontario---not far from Toronto. But may I ask now: how do you actually use the Gui app to ensure lens data gets included in Exif data? I ask this because I can't find instructions on how to proceed. Thanks in advance.

This is for you, JAK: a report of my followup on your recommendation to move my lens data into my Exif so that it can appear in PU. In a word: one big frustrating failure. I downloaded the for-Mac GUI app, but after opening said app, it kept telling me I had to have an Exif Tool app on my computer as a prerequisite. Since I already have Exif as part of LR6, I could go no further in the process. I should also say the "instructions" that come with this free Gui drove me were minimal.
What its looking for is Phil Harvey's Exif tool. The GUI is just a front end to it!This is for you, JAK: a report of my followup on your recommendation to move my lens data into my Exif so that it can appear in PU.

The download is on this page:

The Exif Tool program is updated regularly for new cameras and lenses, that's the nuts and bolts of the system. If Pentax bring out a new camera or lens that program will include it (and if its missed one, just let Phil Harvey know via his forum and he will include it in the next update.) The GUI program only needs updating infrequently.
So you need both programs to get it to work which is the reason for the error message. The filename of the exiftool program also requires renaming (remove the version number from it); read the instructions or you'll never get it working!
If you have a current updated Lightroom version though I'd have hoped it would be aware of the new lenses and bodies. It costs enough! I just make do with old versions so having exiftool is a big help.

I wonder what triggered Bullguard to instigate that block on them.

I don't think he would have asked if he didn't think you could do it. Just keep it simple, don't buy or hire anything, use what you're familiar with and you reckon will do the best job. Surely even a mobile phone could be used so the gear you have must be a big plus and why he's asked you. He won't eat you if something doesn't come out right!!
At the end of the day these photos will be your record of the family when you're his age and you will appreciate having them much more then.

There was a time when price rises on everything was the norm when inflation was running higher than now. We have got so used to prices dropping and special offers but if Ricoh is to stay in the camera business then maybe this is what is needed. It is also quite refreshing to have forked out a lot of money on an article at launch and not to see the price drop shortly afterwards and lose value. There is also the perceived value of something to consider, which is where Leica have been successful for years.
I've just clicked the missing like button!There was a time when price rises on everything was the norm when inflation was running higher than now.

Only if you want to loose!If we ever have a PU pub quiz I want to be on your team.
I have a Ford Pop that took part in the filming, albeit in The Royal rather than Hearbeat. If you look out for the episode, The May Queen, the car and myself were fairly prominently featured. Cameos in other episodes too! The car is kept around half a mile from the building that featured as the hospital in The Royal.
I can't post screen shots as the production crew were using proper video equipment, not Pentax's!
The car is only one of two 1962 models still still licensed to drive on UK roads. (There are other earlier ones around too.)

And DPR say 2008!
I suspect the timeline was designed in 2007, announced in 2008 and released in 2009. Take your pick!
