If I'd purchased a lens and it arrived like that I'd have returned it. (Unless I knew the condition at time of sale like you have described it.) It must surely have ben like that before being packed as the case would have suffered damage too.
If it really got damaged in transit it is still the seller's responsibility to sort it out with the courier company as it isn't yours until it gets delivered. If the packaging gave some clue to possible damage note that with the courier which would help the seller get compensation. You shouldn't have suffered the loss.

Suggest compiler of that family tree uses the OpenStreetMap plugin for the mapping.

I take it the lens array was produced in association with Bolex.

I saw a couple of them walking down the high street, they were walking that closely together they could have been hand in hand. Perhaps they believe they're immune.RobL wrote:

What's wrong with PU's news item about it then?

That's my experience too. It might get a bit confusing if a camera profile is used then a further one applied by the processing software.I'm assuming no profiling is applied to the DNG file

The APS-C bodies will have profiles for all Pentax lenses as even FF lenses are obviously fully compatible. Does it actually matter if a FF lens in APS-C mode doesn't cover the full 135 frame? If it does matter it means the profiles aren't appropriate for the central (APS-C) portion of a photo taken in FF !

The camera doesn't have FF profiles for the APS-C DA lenses (other than the 200* and 300* (and I believe maybe one other) which are officially FF compatible. (I'm sure I read that somewhere, presumably in the K-1 manual.)
Also the profiles don't seem to be activated for raw images, just in-camera jpegs.
Third party lenses aren't supported either even when a direct equivalent lens is used, eg. the Tamron vs Pentax 18-250.

Mt thought is that the profile is for the lens, not the camera, so to correct for aberrations, distortion and so on.

I support your feelings, but just because goods, or food comes from elsewhere doesn't mean the Chinese are not involved. They own a lot of companies around the world, but perhaps don't advertise that fact so much.
Do you use barclays bnk?
eat Weetabix?
have a Pizza Express?
Shop at House of Fraser
or have your water supplied by Thames Water?
Do you watch "American" made films?
SUpport Wolves or Southampton or WBA (amongst others)?
Seems we can manage without then!
