Dave they sorted it out for me quite recently without any problem. I phoned them for prices and so on, so that looks like the way to proceed.

Charlotte, you have recourse I'm sure and no-one should expect any camera to last only 18 months.

Hopefully you will take up whatever the problem is by contacting your supplier or Pentax.

Don't worry, the competition is still running, your effort is safe!

The ineligible images have been removed after discussions with Stan, the judge.

Doug, that was quite unnecessary and inappropriate.

Stan, you should just carry on regardless and if you think something has no merit, then you won't let it win I'm sure.

On a more relevant note, it's not looking as though many of us are taking on board the idea of this competition. That is, that the images should be shot specially for the competition, during the month it is running.

Otherwise, it's just another weekly competition but less frequently.

It's only the first day and we have two shot in August and one not defined. Thoughts?

The mount cap lens is a pinhole lens. Now it's quite difficult to make a good pinhole, so a ready manufactured one could be quite interesting. A proper wooden pinhole camera will cost over £100, so the idea of making such a lens for the Q opens up a whole new world.

I actually like the way the Q opens up all sorts of possibilities of experimentation.

Can we stay on topic please - this is for discussing the competition. I have no idea what labradors have to do with it....

I seem to think that I have seen adapters to allow the use of 110 lenses on the Q. Try eBay. There are certainly adapters to use C mount and many other lenses, many of them being excellent optics and very low prices.

It would be great if Pentax would reintroduce the camera with a digital sensor, but I don't imagine it will happen.

They already have and it's called the Pentax Q.
