In my Amateur Photographer that just fell through the letter box I read under the letters page
Daniel Bridges letter referring to Jessops David Adams and the Pentax non stocking issue..
It makes good reading.
Well done Daniel. You made it and just below the letter of the week.
Also in the mag is talk of Pentax bringing out a medium format digital, magic to a few Pentax users ears.

I have to admit I was a little surprised at the cost (greater than I thought) of having the MES or S1a looked over/cleaned and seals replaced from well known company. Both my cameras appear to function fine but thought that they would benefit from the overhaul. If things are working fine do you just tend to replace the seals yourself?
edit: I haven't had this done yet, like I say a little surprised so not sure.
It is not rocket science, I have done loads in my time, most is common sense, like dont let rubbish get into the camera do it very carefully and when it comes to the mirror bump stop be ultra careful.I have to admit I was a little surprised at the cost (greater than I thought) of having the MES or S1a looked over/cleaned and seals replaced from well known company.

Hi Dan
Basically had more or less put some money to one side for a lense upgrade , now I'm going to have to consider a body upgrade as well then to move forward.
And if you think Womble was blunt, just wait until George sees this thread! wait until she who must be obeyed finds out I'm now looking at upgrading the camera body as well not bothered about Wombles or George / Bungle / Zippy or whoever

And I mean the old *istD kit FA J 18-35 certainly is not renowned for it's performance, be it day or night. However, it's good enough to produce some really nice shots, not only in my hands (see e.g. in the PPG; oh, just saw that 1/5 of the shots with that lens in PPG are by me:shock

I bought the FAJ 18-35mm at a bargain price, brand new and boxed, just because it was cheap, it has turned out to be quite a good bargain, far better than i would have thought, so they are out there you just have to look.terje-l wrote:
But you would use the same lenses for daytime shots, right?
Yupp. If the lenses are good performers during the day they are at night, generally. I could imagine that some lower contrast lenses could be performing badly at night. But then I would call them bad performers during the day as well...But you would use the same lenses for daytime shots, right?

Personally as its sold as being P-TTL compatible and Sigma say it works with K20D (see Sigma Web Site) but its does not work correctly with the top P-TTL cameras I would want either Sigma or SRS to change it for one that works properly. I think the one you have is simply not fit for purpose.
Good luck
Bob
Chris at SRS, the very nice man, Is going to change it for one that is from a new batch, it has been sent back and on it's way.Personally as its sold as being P-TTL compatible and Sigma say it works with K20D (see Sigma Web Site) but its does not work correctly with the top P-TTL cameras I would want either Sigma or SRS to change it for one that works properly.

Sigma will refund the postage to me, so it is just an inconvenience for me.
All the new ones will work with any Pentax that has P-TTL.
The post was to let people know if using the flash on A Pentax K10 and wanted to upgrade at a later date to the K20/200 and I should imagine the Samsung GX10 to the GX20.
They can get a re-chip done at no charge from Sigma.
Personaly I think Sigma should have checked this before releasing them.
They cocked up on the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 HSM mk11, it should have worked with the sigma 1.4ex dg TC in auto focus, but it does not and they have removed the bit that says it does.
SRS are still the best there is for customer service as far as i am concerned.
I am just unlucky, thats why I dont do the lottery any more, they dont give anything for no numbers.

Mike can I have your Avatar after you have finished with it, That is just like me hitting my head against a brick wall.
And to top it all one of my wheel bearings on my car has decided to start making nasty noises.
I think I will just go out and shoot myself, well I would if I had a gun. No offers thank you.
