Just to clarify, you mention there Pentax's response and I think that it was not Pentax you have asked? Am I right in thinking that it's the local repair facility we are talking about here, so the UK equivalent would be discussing JPS?

If that's the case, probably better to wait and see how it develops with the repair house, and subsequently, should you approach them directly, how it is approached by Pentax?

It strikes me that if a repair was so expensive it would be more logical for you to be offered a replacement at cost, at the very least. That's without considering the warranty implications.

Now if it's a standard water-damage quote, it also begs the question regarding the fault. As the camera is still working and you just wanted it checked out "in case" then when opened up there might be no water leakage. But even under warranty there would presumably be a charge for this work if it was shown that actually nothing was wrong after all?

In this forum, just click the button marked Image and then search your PC for the picture you want. The dialog box provided is self explanatory.

It's best if images are not too large, otherwise the forum software may try to resize them, with less than optimum results.

There are adapters that fit into the hotshoe and are fitted with a synch socket.

I'm not sure who sells new ones, but they are the stuff of camera fairs and eBay. If you can't find one I'll check my stock of oddments, but try eBay first.

I think you should both leave it at that, and it's a timely reminder that airing these things in the forum is not a great idea. Everybody reading all this will draw their own conclusions, and unfortunately in many cases those conclusions could be quite wide of the mark. It doesn't help anyone.

So, perhaps we could all try to get along a little bit better and remember that the for sale threads need to be used openly for buying/selling and for nothing else.

Many thanks.

IMHO a border should enhance the image, not detract from it. I usually use a thin white line to define the edge of an image if it's to be shown on a black background, as I do on EPZ.

Without a white line, for example, your image bottom left would bleed into a black background. The second black line is unnecessary for me, and it certainly would be on black!

I was reporting what I found in normal use, and I'm happy to confirm that is what I found in normal use.

If and when I do observe some moire, I'll let you know!

In what way are you astonished?

If you seek moire you will find it, if you just go out and shoot normal images you are highly unlikely to find it's a problem.

Undercutting others' sales by PM would be very much frowned upon, is that what happened?

Incidentally, using the GR, which has the same size sensor and also no AA filter, there has been no sign at all of moire.

Many thanks, I'm sure that moire can be found, but in normal situations it's very unlikely to be a problem.
