With 14.6 million photosites I would guess that the potential is there for the odd one to misfire once in a while.

I suppose the question is whether or not it is currently possible to make a totally fault free sensor with the technology we have. I don't know the answer to that, but I suspect there may already be compensating electronics in the sensor of every digital camera.

The same is true of a memory card, which has error correcting mechanisms built in.

At the very bottom of this page there is a list of options, one of which is Report a Problem.

You've noticed a software glitch that is proving difficult to sort out. Please mention it in full detail in a report so that IT can look at it again.

Thanks!

They do Fountains by Night three times around September/October.

We went 2 years ago and IIRC the site was open till about 10pm, with the ruins being floodlit from dusk.

There was live music in the Undercroft and the usual burger bar serving greasy delicious smelling hot food!

NT members got in free as per usual.

From the official Pentax repair facility.

I just wish the 80-400mm Tokina was available in Pentax fit as that would be quite useful.

The optical formula is the same. The FA lens will have enhanced communication with the camera body, in common with FA lenses in general, but the impact on your photography will be unnoticeable.

20% discount on repairs is a real benefit. When I was dealing with (non photographic) companies for repairs that was as much as a large dealer could expect.

Well George does have a point. When I did slides almost all of them on a roll would be correctly exposed, but not by any detailed working or scientific approach to metering.

Aperture priority plus exposure compensation as required. The only bit that needs practice is knowing what the behaviour of your meter is, understanding the scene and knowing how much compensation is needed.

I use the same technique with digital, but generally less compensation is needed.

It may be discontinued from their own stocked lines, seeing that they have removed all the pentax bodies and don't mention the K7.
