There seems to be a presumption that self isolation means you can't leave home, but rightly or wrongly I interpret it as keep a good distance between yourself and others, and not touching anything that others might touch.

So, I could wander around in an open space with my camera, and use my own legs, car, etc to get there and back if distant from my home.

Thoughts?

For me a grip is a grip, i.e. to improve handling in certain circumstances, so sometimes I use one, sometimes not. The ability to increase battery capacity is a plus. Don't overlook the fact that a single battery can be used in the grip, leaving the body battery compartment empty.

There is a debunked theory that if you keep the lenses on a charged camera and give them a spin every so often, that they will keep working. Like I say, it's a theory which has been refuted so take it with a pinch of salt.
I'm interested so please tell me more, as it's something I do and I'd hate to be wasting my time!

I still don't see why there hasn't been a class action against Pentax, over what is an inherent product fault

Still saying £585.44 for me. Can see a used one at £559 from Amazon Warehouse but I'll keep an eye, maybe I'm looking at a cached page or something, thanks Kea.
You are correct.
I looked at the price and missed that it is a used camera.
£554.54

Welcome. My heart bleeds for all you Aussies at the moment with the bush fires.

Thanks very much Ian. Took me off down an interesting avenue as (a) my K10D is on v1.30, and (b) I had no idea how to use debug mode for af adjustment, which is my only real interest.
