Where did you send it to?

I'm sorry John, but if Pentax wants to be taken seriously then they need to offer high quality service to buyers of their equipment from any decent camera dealer, not just SRS. I am a big fan of our friends in Watford, and buy lots from them (not just Pentax) but telling people they need to buy from one dealer in particular in order to get half decent service does not make for a brand that is likely to survive in the longer term. If I had paid £1,000 or more for a new camera and then had to wait 5 weeks without seeing it back from repairs, I would be extremely hacked off.

You have put an interpretation on what I wrote that was not intended.

Many classics of photography are blurry and OOF by today's standards.

That's actually very true. The classic example is Julia Margaret Cameron, whose images ooze with feeling and yet are technically very poor.

Straying from the subject, which was K5 pricing.

Regarding which, the price seems to be steadily reducing, which will suit my target purchase time of April.

Of course I could wait for even further price drops, but then I wouldn't have the K-5 advantages in the meantime. I don't believe in waiting forever, there's an optimum time and it's looming.

The simplest thing is to tell the seller what's wrong - at the moment he is blissfully unaware of your displeasure.

If it were me I would just refund you and ask you to throw them away - it's not even worth the cost of sending them back.

I think you mean HMRC Matt...

Matt, very interesting and quite possible.

Well, we have the optical viewfinder and our eyes as well. That too depends upon the optical paths being correect and we've survived for decades with that.

Unless all the images of the past 50 years are actually blurred after all!

Some arguments seem to raise the hackles. I wouldn't call greynolds999's whimsical piece treating Pentax Users with contempt, more of an attempt at humour.

Try to keep a sense of humour with other people's points of view and there will be less aggravation.

It's the intent that matters. My son calls himself an "Apple Fan Boy" and he's looking at his own self with humour. Gareth was called a Fan Boy on AP's forum and it was a term of derision used to trash his opinions. So we do need to be careful when making judgements.
