I see there's now an SRS offer on the standard version of the same package.

The news has only just hit, but £2149 isn't expensive compared to the standard edition. I don't see the K-1 as expensive either, it's still at its intro price and compares well with the prices of other marques.

I would leave well alone. The glass could be put back decentred and if you get the torque wrong when refixing you could distort the shape of the element.

I would buy the WR version. It costs less, is every bit as good and has WR.

The rings start to show when the blue channel is removed. I had a quick try via my usual IR route of Channel Mixer and there just doesn't seem to be enough exposure or IR light in your original. Not every image will make a good IR conversion.

It looks like Newton's rings. However, it could be a diffraction effect from the sensor combined with the sun being just out of shot? Try using the AA filter simulator in similar circumstances. Alternatively, it could be from over adjusting levels. This usually results in posterisation effects.

It does look as though the IR has been over-done as the whites are totally blown out.

If anyone has images backed up to CD, don't keep them there as home written CDs can go bad!

Absolutely right. In fact, some commercial CDs have been known to go bad as well.

Life can be difficult or very easy, and I tend to prefer very easy wherever possible. I still use this method, which requires no special software: https://www.pentaxuser.com/article/organising-your-digital-files-252

The only difference is that now I don't back up to CD, but to an external drive instead.

A USB external drive, maybe 1TB or even 2TB, that doesn't need an additional power supply would be very convenient. I use the drives as backup and so far there's been no problem.

However, it isn't a backup if it's the only copy of an image, so you might want to have two drives to make sure important images are stored twice.
