Early 16-50's were plagued with SDM failures. I say 'early' because there seems to have been a fall off in complaints over time.

The US site has a list of serial numbers of lenses with failed SDM.

Just in case all you attendees need some steer on what to see there (as if) here's some help from AP;

Not sure if it'll still be the 3D printed version, but seems Pentax are threatening to show the new FF (according to AP).

I guess they just make keyboards differently for the UK, like they do for France and Germany, while we get the US one, with the benefit of a euro key.
Anyway the Yoga has finished it's updates so now I can get to know it a bit.
It is a replacement for my old Samsung netbook, which His Nibs has now converted to Ubuntu.

Nice. How you getting on with Win 8.1?

I hate it! Completely illogical.

Roll on Win 10

Hmm. My # is over the 3. How weird is that.
Anyway I think I now have the keyboard on the new Yoga set to US international which is what matches the actual keyboard. It is busy doing 73 critical updates at the moment.

Just checked my Yoga 2 13; the tild is where I described it.

Does your Yoga have a physical or virtual keyboard? Not sure it should make any difference, but...

I haven't been following this thread so don's know what you've bought.

So now my question - where is the tilde on a UK keyboard?

With the # sign - right hand end of the middle row of alpha keys. It's a shift key.

All gone at the 29.99euro offer price, but they still show three at 31.99euro, so still not a bad price.

Count yourself lucky. We Windows Phone users always get overlooked for such things. No way to contact Ricoh and ask for one either that I can see.

I've tried to make contact with Ricoh via their press office as there's no obvious Customer Service for anything non-technical, repair or service related. I want to whinge about the last camera promotion. If I have any luck I'll post details.

For those of you, like me, waiting on a FluCard, I was told today they will be sent out 'end of March, beginning of April'.

The reason for the delay was given as they had to get the cash-backs out by a certain date, then they could switch their resource to the FluCards.
