Socrates knew what he was talking about then;

Welcome back.

Have you tried the Manfrotto tool for choosing tripods, etc?

Thanks all.

At the moment I'm also playing with a mount off a broken k-mount lens, so lots of ideas to take forward.

Anyone have a suggestion as to how I might do this please?

I have an M42 bellows unit. I can fit a K-mount camera body to it using an M42/K adapter (Mount adapter K), but am stuck mounting a K-mount lens at the other end.

You'll find from time to time that Forum members get together for a day out somewhere. Why not go along to one of these? Never done so myself, to be honest, but I'm sure you'll get a warm welcome, lots of practical help and immediate feed-back on your photographs.

I'm thinking particularly of those in the 'Classified Adverts' section.

Would save a lot of wasted enquiries if the OP could simply delete it when the kit has been sold.

Take it there's no way of user adjusting level on a K10?

I bought it second hand a while back and it always seems to have had the sensor misaligned slightly, so horizon, buildings etc are contantly slightly off line.

Any recommended apps for adjusting pics etc?

Thanks in advance, very frustrating.
If you're handy with a screwdriver, here's a link to the K10D service manual. http://www.pentax-hack.info/firmware/k10_gx10/k10d_sm.zip

Good luck, and don't blame me
