One reason, well a very big reason why I bought my Sigma 140 ring flash, that has gone up £40.

Hi Martin,
GX20/K20 as greytop said, Nikon I do know about I had the D80 Nice images and a nightmare to use,The against with the Nikon are the cost of the VR lenses and if like the D80 very cut back on functions, But loads of gimmicks, the D300 is the only one I would consider but look at the price.
I can do everything I want with my K20 and even with my backup K200.
My advice is save money and buy some good Pentax fit glass.
Common sense really.
In RAW i only use DNG then no probs with Adobe

Thanks for the replies. I should added that happens with the lens on or off the body, currently I only have the one lens . Yes it seems to be the drive screw / pin mechanism clicking as the lever is turned from manual (retracted) to C and S auto focus (out).
Oh I should also add that this is a new K20D body which I received yesterday, kindly arranged by Chris at SRS because my first one had some issues with many faulty pixels that weren't mapped out by pixel mapping. I do know my original body didn't make this noise.
Am I being picky here? I am concious that to keep returning / replacing bodies is not something SRS or I want to get into. Thoughts?

I thought I'd let you know the outcome.
When the buyer sent back the book I sent him a full refund, so that closed matters off. We exchanged positive feedback, although there was no choice in that on my side of things!
The second bidder got offered the book and was delighted in every respect.
So side by side I have two positive fedbacks, one saying the book was no good but I sorted it out quickly. And next to it one saying the book was brilliant.
Weird?
Perhaps the first buyer could not read, some on Ebay, I'm sure can't.I thought I'd let you know the outcome.

Hi Greytop,
My K20 is silent, What lens does this happen with? It may be a mismatch with the lens I did have one lens that was very faulty on the mount, the alignment was wrong with the drive screw.

You may get your wish, Pentax have just applied for a patent referring to medium format cameras, so keep them crossed

I have had my Amateur Photographer (in the Post, first post for 4 days) would you believe it Jessops in the news again, Adams (Chairman) saying he is going to revamp the shops.
But does not rule out closures.
But A P did quote the share value for Jessops just 2p!
