What's it like without one of those grips installed on it?

Items over £1500 specifically declared on home insurance (albeit at a little extra cost.) Items under £1500 are covered anyhow up to declared total value.

Just got my K-S2 this morning and tried uploading a jpeg to myshuttercount site and it comes back with no exif data in this file. Am i doing something wrong ?. , worked straight away with my Canons.
Thanks

I'm sure you'll find https://www.camerashuttercount.com works whereas that one you suggested doesn't. (I've just tried both sites with a K-S1 jpeg.)

Harris has a K version on eBay:

The K version is somewhat sharper than the M according to lens resolution tests.

Think I've got the hang of HSS now thanks Nigel, at least with on camera flash. Its quite simple really once you know of its existence.
I used it for this as an experiment (not with an M or an A lens though, nor a K-1 so sorry to be a bit off topic, just a thanks for the awareness!):

Grain is what black and white film is all about, without it there would be no photograph. The lighting when the photograph was taken appears rather flat which hasn't helped the contrast.
Did you expose the negative for the shadows which is the opposite what you'd normally do with reversal photography, be that slides or digital?

Thanks for the comments. I have upped the contrast for the first.... better I think ?

To me that isn't so good and its gone the wrong way. Sorry to take a liberty but played around with the iage myself and managed to get more detail in the sky which I feel helps. Obviously from the original file still more could be achieved.

Don't know what you think!

Sorry Jules, at my annual review with the accountant my eyes glaze over after five minutes so not much help on the details. The medium format range has been a bit quiet recently, Pentax pioneered this format for DSLR type bodies and it has been very successful for them, but others are moving into the same field. I wonder if this is where the next big release will be, given the comments issued by Ricoh?

This time last year there was talk of a 100mp 645 to compete with Phase One's similar offering. Given the development time perhaps its getting close now.
Imagine a 100mp sensor with pixel shift resolution!

He's had to move abroad!

Have you got 'use aperture ring' enabled in the menu options?

Use the green button for metering to set the shutter speed (its in the camera manual!)
