The 'Looking for England' one is repeated tonight on BBC-4 (and HD) at 23:00, in case anyone missed it.

And Thursday morning at 03:00, for the insomniacs among us.
I can find the 3am showing, but not the 11pm one. Not listed on the BBC site. Have they changed the scheduling?

This site is what you need.
Brilliant! Thanks Philip.

I always get nervous when I read that people plan to use big capacity cards and don't mention backing them up.

I have a large collection of small capacity cards. I shoot, remove and backup the card, then store the card separately. I do this at least once per day.

I'd hate to find a card failure costing me a lot of memories. True, never happened, but....

No problem with using big cards, provided you back them up at least daily.

Cards are relatively cheap, especially when compared against the cost of the trip, etc.

Pentax have always made cameras for discerning photographers, whereas others increasingly seem to pitch their cameras at people who don't seem to care about anything except having what's popular.

Be an individual or one of the herd.

I too had the 404 error. Looks like all the links are truncated.

Here's one of them in verbose form; https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/172-pentax-k-3/363392-pentax-k-3-ii-overexpo...

I think we need the OP to highlight where these blotches are, as it seems there's a variety of options/suggestions.

Moire patterns?

This thread started nearly 10 years ago, but it got me thinking about all the members who are no longer active on the forum. Can't help but wonder what happened to them.

Just checked mine. Smooth action throughout the manual focus range. Usual whirr when AF.

Seems you have a dud I'm afraid.
