I suspect it'll have to be sourced from a broken unit, or via a repairer, as it seems Ricoh/Pentax won't sell parts to end users.

I get the impression commercial repairers struggle to get parts too at times!

Although I don't have the details (search this forum) there are a few repairers out there plus Johnson's of course. Best to try them for quotes first.

There is a new one on eBay at the moment - £49 + postage.

Bump.

And another bump.

CRB checks are for people working with children or vulnerable adults.

Like misinterpretation of current law, many institutions insist on them believing they will somehow protect children, etc. Unfortunately this blind faith misses the point that it is a check against historical records. If the individual being checked has no adverse record at the time of the check, they pass.

Saville would probably have passed CRB checks before his activities became public, and for all we know may well have done.

Not against the law, but a theatre is not a public place so they can impose their own restrictions on use of photographic or audio recording equipment.

There is no specific law prohibiting photography of children, but in some instances there might be a specific prohibition in a school involving individual children where they are the subject of a child protection order.

The issue is most schools, theatres etc, don't understand the law, but you are on their property so they can invoke any rules they wish, no matter how misguided or ill-informed.

It has become urban myth that it is generally illegal to photograph children. No matter that the law might be on your side, when faced with a situation you have to have to make the judgement call, especially if the situation involves people who insist they are right and outnumber you.

I'll pass, thanks Andy, but good luck with the sale.

No. 7. Wow!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back.

Price for the mirror lens please Andy? I could well be interested in all three items!

Bump. Open to offers.
