NP and well done its back up now at 399

It is shown as £399, but the offer is still current, you have to tick the £99.74 voucher to get that off making it more or less £299.
Cheers for the heads up.

You could surreptitiously slip the lens collection into this instead!

Interesting John, was there a further breakdown as to the percentage of digital vs film use?
It does show that for your members Pentax is still well regarded, your influence perhaps.

Be careful, from my experience they are not up to dealing with a DA* lens

What's the basic difference with a DA* lens from any other lens that makes them unable to deal with them?

SDM motors...[/quote]Surely that would be for the business to confirm that they couldn't deal with it, not for anyone here to make a presumption that they can't.
If they are local to the OP which I presume they are he only needs to pop the lens in for them to say yay or nay.

Certainly a mystery.

I was encountering it with some other websites, too, so it isn't a specific Pentaxuser issue. As far as I could tell from the filename in the Firefox 'What do you want to do with this file?' request, the files seem to be something to do with Google ads. Perhaps something was going wrong at their end?

Steve

Have tou tried looking for Malware?
Perhaps Malwarebytes, and/or ADWCleaner might be worth a try or something similar.
Perhaps even a rogue Firefox addon? Try FF in safe mode to test for that.

If it happens again can you get a screen grab?

Could the 'new' battery you've inserted be 'stale'? (Perhaps old stock or gone bad during storage.)
Also check the battery contacts, try cleaning them and the battery itself with a rubber.
