Not many people added their locations Gwyn, so it fizzled out.

To be fair, not everybody wants to say exactly where they are, but in that case perhaps just a county or even a country would be helpful?

It also helps when people put adverts on, just in case we wanted to pick up an item for example.

We only ever use original ideas, other peoples' original ideas.....

If the design is accurate then it strikes me that the mirror box could easily be removed and we'd end up with a CSC. Either for current lenses with an extension of some sort to give the correct back focus or a thinner body with new lenses.

In this scenario I'd imagine a design that could share quite a bit of manufacture between CSC and DSLR ranges, thus reducing costs and making introduction faster.

The MX-1 is a fantastic camera and the results are very good indeed. I use mine quite happily for large prints.

I'm sure you'd be very happy, and at the current prices it's worth grabbing one quickly while you still can.

There's only one 18-135mm lens.

There are different 18-55mm lenses, one without hood and with plastic mount for the lower priced models and the WR version for the more expensive ones.

Maybe they think they have sent you an 18-55mm?

The basic things are to change lenses in as dust free an area as feasible, turn off the camera whilst we do so and point the throat of the camera downwards during the process.

This ensures that there's no charge on the sensor to attract dust and less chance of some particle falling into the camera.

A rocket blower is the second stage cleaning process. Operate it a few times before putting it near the camera, to eliminate any dust inside it, and give a few short bursts of air. Don't go anywhere near actually touching the sensor. It's always done the trick for me and I've never had to do a contact clean with pads.

We took much more than that I'm sure, but offensive language isn't acceptable on Pentax User. Please bear that in mind for future posts, as we can't monitor every word on the forum it's up to posters as well to rein it in when tempted.

Champagne Gold and Burgundy sounds good as well. Something will have to go to fund it, and that looks like the Ricoh GR. We'll see.

I like the look of the new Q-S1, so soon I'll be ordering one to up the size of the sensor to the same as the excellent MX-1.

I've just been looking at the colour options, and this time I think I'll order gunmetal and green. I think that looks pretty fantastic, so might as well have something custom made for once. After all, it is nearly Christmas!

What's your colour choice?
