Fingers crossed?

Just noticed the misspelt title. I'm sure you all know what I mean though.

Picked my parcel up from the Post Office today. Thanks Peng!

I was worried at first that you'd forgotten to put the lens in the outer box; loads of bubble wrapping later there I found the comparatively tiny 'Ricoh' box.

It was like a 'Russian dolls' exercise.

Never had a Limited pancake before, (although I have the Limited 35mm macro), so was very surprised at how small and light this little beauty is.

All I need to do now is get out and use it!

Thanks again Peng. Great price and a pleasure to deal with you.

The cameras this adapter is listed for include the K5.

The grip, battery, etc for the K5 are the same as those for the K5II.

Does it follow that the K5II will work with the K-AC50?

I am aware that the AC adapter for the K5II is shown as K-AC132, but I can't find a spec sheet for the K-AC132 nor (yet) find out how it differs from the K-AC50. The output is the same. The connecting plug is the same. Only the model number is different.

So, Lancer3397, are you a 'left eye' too?

I've had 2 jams recently where the focussing just won't happen, a quick turn with a jeweller's screwdriver managed to get the lenses moving again, seems in many cases it's just because of lack of use
I've set up my electronic diary to remind me to run my lenses every two weeks.

No hassle with any of my SDM lenses.

Don't overlook the fact that the K30 has 'Scene Mode', in which you can select 'Surf & Snow'. The camera settings will be adjusted automatically in this mode to offer the best exposure.

Isn't it the case that the K3 can only update via 1 of the 2 card slots, no.1 I think? Similar situation to the FluCard will only fully function in one of the slots, not both?
