The sterling exchange rate may be helping you at the moment. Only you can decide whether to take the plunge or not though!

Had a thought on this while I was out.
Why not have the winner of this week's comp defer setting the competition until the following week so all have an opportunity to enter. Then perhaps get the PU/Ephotozine team to set and judge this 500th. Just a thought and not cause this week's winner to receive a booby prize! Sounds much fairer to me and makes more of an occasion of it.

Had you opened the lens beyond its default closed 'white dot' position to 55 or beyond? It will give an error unless you do, though the message says to actually open it or something to that effect.

Have you truly ascertained whether the problem lies with the lens or the camera? Until you have it will be tricky to resolve.

So is the winner of this week's competition excluded from the chance of winning the prizes in the 500th? Wouldn't be better to have a separate dedicated competition just for that alongside the normal ones?

I'll repeat this list of DXO9 cameras supported that I posted in the other thread,

It actually doesn't show the K-3ii but good to know its compatible.

There's a list of cameras supported in DXO9 here:

To use more recent cameras needs a newer version of DXO.

Meantime. If you aren't after the latest lens/body profiles DxO 9 is currently available for a free download.

I use it and love it.
Thinking about downloading it myself but have not found a conclusive answer as to whether it handles DNG files straight from a Pentax camera.
To check compatibility with DXO see this page link
However NOT supported in DXO9 are: K-3ii, K-70, K-S1, K-S2, K-1 despite them saying they are in that compatibility chart so these will need a newer version.
If it helps anyone, the MX-1 is supported, the only Pentax compact.
