Hi Amin, I don’t know what tripod you have and how you are using it, but first of all do you attach a weight to the underside of the apex?
Also the head you use is it a cheap one or one of the better ones?
basically, the weight slung under a tripod will steady it and a decent head will help also, any sloppiness and you will get blur.
But if you want to spend some more money, any of the “best makes” will do, you get what you pay for.

Hey that's fine, you will make me blush
If we guys can't do things for each other it would be a shame.
I must now try to get my desk top studio setup so I can do some "macro" work on it.
Another gem from Jessops, it weighs a ton, the poor guy delivering it must have had a hernia bringing that to the door.
My other item was a bit lighter a Pentax E40 compact, brand new in the box and that cost just £4+vat, yes four pounds

They must be in a real bad way at Jessops.

In this case I would guess that Pentax was unaware of the circumstances. They were just sent a camera to repair. Try talking to them direct, as hardgravity suggests, they are usually quite reasonable folk.

Best wishes, Kris.
My dealings with Pentax service are very good as well, when my *ist 35mm died they gave me a brand new *ist digital body in exchange, as it was at the time of the "change over" to digital and the spares for the 35mm camera were not available at the time.
So I only have praise for them.

Three other lots went out this morning, just one more and then all gone (The ones that were preordered)
This evening is time to put up my "mini studio" another item got from the Jessops clearout, The delivery guy thought it was a flat pack kitchen, he really struggled with it.
I just hope it is as good as they portray it, but at the price I got it I can't complain.

Hi All,
To all those that have paid for the battery's they will be in the post this morning "Recorded Delivery" so insured.
As to making anything "profit" not really, pennies may be, I had to pay postage on them to get them in the first place, £5
I just thought some of you may want to share in a bargain.
I just wish I could have got more of them to please every body on the forum.
Better now go to the post office and get them posted. 2 miles there and another 2 back, they closed our local one 500yds away

Sorry, Thats all folks, All now booked, gone in post etc.
A pity I could not have got more,
But I did get a "portaflash" mini studio kit for a daft price, been delivered today, weighs a ton, had a check and they retail at £450+ no way would I pay that much, my wife would have a fit.
If I had been a day earlier I could have bought Tamron and Sigma 70-300 lenses for under a tenner each not just Pentax fit.
Some of which are now being listed on Ebay for loads of money.
As far as I know all items now gone from Jessops.

I have managed to obtain a few genuine Pentax K10-K20 battery's in their boxes etc, these are not the cheap Chinese copies.

They came from a UK camera shop that now now longer stocks Pentax kit, We know who?

The retail price is normally £45 + I can do them for £12.50 each including UK postage for the EU It will cost more but please ask.

My stock of these is limited and when gone that is it.
I will even pre-charge them for you before sending.
