Use a soft cotton cloth to clean the contacts, best of all are the microfibre lens cloths.

My Pentax is so fast at focusing it focuses before I point it at the subject.....truly amazing. PS : Whatever you do don't criticise Pentax AF/Tracking speed on here

Why do we think a magnesium alloy body is mid-range? This is a fundamental feature of the flagship line, and I've lifted this set of features from the wex description:
Quote:
New flagship APS-C model aimed at advanced-enthusiasts
24.3MP APS-C-size CMOS sensor
New generation CMOS sensor and high-performance imaging engine
Dustproof, weather-resistant, cold-proof down to -10°C
Five-axis shake-reduction system with compensation effect of five shutter steps
Customisable features including grip replacement system and control panel
Anti-aliasing filter simulator
True-to-life reproduction of gradation and texture
High-speed operation
Effective noise reduction
Handheld photography at night with maximum ISO of 819,200
Pixel Shift Resolution System captures 4 images of same scene, shifting the image sensor by a single pixel for each image, then synthesises them into single composite image.
Maximum shutter speed of 1/24000 second
Optical viewfinder with nearly 100% field of view and 0.95x magnification
27-point autofocus system with SAFOX 11 module
Full HD recording with external microphone terminal
3.0-inch LCD monitor with vertical tilt function

Yes, can we stick to the point please. Classified Ads are for the buying/selling process only, discussions should be elsewhere.
Any buyers?

It can be edited for you, but two threads is confusing.
I'll close the other thread and redirect it here.

It's always useful to know where people are, roughly at least. Perhaps the buyer can meet half way and if buyer and seller happened to be close to a motorway then it can be convenient.
I have regularly met at Tebay when exchanging goods with those from southern Scotland. Just an hour and a half for both parties and a cup of coffee and chat as well.

It's not how I remember it, but I'm happy to be proved wrong.
However, I do wonder if those photos have been prepared with showing the connection in mind and whether or not they have simply been doctored to make them clearer. It's notoriously difficult to photograph metal objects and often the images are retouched to improve the edge delineation. Try photographing a metal dental instrument against a white background and the problem glares at you.

Winders were in "in thing" at the time, so that's entirely possible. It would be very sloppy to sell a camera with an exposed connection.perhaps they were all fitted with winders and the covers are all lost down the back of the proverbial sofa.

I'm about to upgrade our K-5 bodies, but it won't be to the KP. It will be the K-3 II. I see no reason to spend more when the K-3 II is already a fine camera that will be an excellent upgrade for a few more years use. It will sit alongside the K-1 very nicely.
The KP looks to me like a new path, perhaps leading to a P series? After all, we are running out of K numbers!
