I tried them all and found Pentax had the right ingredients for me. That is, great colour reproduction, great ergonomics, elegance of design, quality of manufacture, and so on.

The gloves fitted perfectly. By comparison, other makes seemed quite clunky in many ways.

Thanks for that, very interesting.

The moon can appear huge compared to its normal self, when it is low in the sky. It's probably a lens effect due to the thickness of the atmosphere.

Thanks Ken, these are skills that have largely been lost and it's worth seeing how it was done.

It can be done digitally as well.

On a slightly different tack, this is why we don't have links to eBay auctions in Leads to Deals. People can get a bit upset when their chance at something good suddenly has a huge spotlight turned onto it.

I guess sellers quite like it though.

Anyone know why my post highlighting this in leads to deals has been deleted ?

If you check out the guidelines post for leads to Deals you'll see that expired deals are removed, in an attempt to keep the information as current as possible.

The price difference has ended, so this one was noticed quicker than some others. I do a sweep every now and then.

£388 is too expensive for something I don't need but would just like...my target price is somewhat lower, but it will have to be a new one.

I can't speak for anyone else David, but I was thinking of prices for new K-01 bodies.

I can't find any reasonable ones, unless someone can tell me differently.

Are you sure the camera is set to centre point focus and it hasn't been set to select focus points? If that is the problem, then selecting an off centre focus point by mistake could be the answer.

If not, then a warranty repair or repair if it is a problem.

Be confident Andrew, we've been shooting out in quite heavy rain and the cameras and WR lenses have survived without a glitch.
