Hi John, not sure if you've seen the movies 'Waynes World', if so you will know that I was being light-hearted!
Know of them but never watched (apart from odd excerpts perhaps.)

When you said John was 'denied', I thought it might be similar to those competitions where one reads on cornflake packets and the like that employees and their families are ineligible to enter, but I couldn't for the life of me think why that would be so!

Regards,
John

There's a reasonably full list of the Pentax Lens ID numbers here:
http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/%7Ephil/exiftool/TagNames/Pentax.html#LensType

Your 100mm is included in it.

Can only presume PhotoMe hasn't got round to including it yet. Is there a way of finding out when it was last updated?

I guess that's possible as the K20D pre-dates the WR lenses. But the camera doesn't have a method of showing you which lens is attached, or have I missed something?

But it must have a database of some kind included so it can apply dedicated lens correction to Pentax lenses. Certainly the K-5 dos that, maybe the K20D does too.

If the OP's comment relates to software to check that detail, maybe the program hasn't picked up on that newish lens.

I'm very sorry about this John, but unfortunately you are 'denied'.
Can't comment on John R's remark but why is he 'denied'?
Is David trying to create a Storm in a Tea Cup?

Are they the new replacement security guards at the Golden Wonder factory in Scunthorpe?

This past week end I went on to the site
If you went on to the actual site in Leyton High Road you may succeed in buying some petrol for your car but doubtful you would find a camera other than one used to record CCTV.

There was a thread about this scam here a couple of weeks ago but it has since gone awol. You might, perhaps, have been forewarned otherwise.

It would need an example where only one thing gets changed, ie the aperture.
There's just too many variables in those shots so it get confused.

Had the Sirius lens been successfully put on and taken off before?


The problem lens I had had a faulty stop down lever that got jammed.
