wow - what a saga.

Even though its sold I will second the build quality on these.

Mine fell off its tripod Wednesday onto wooden decking (yeah i am an idiot)

total damage - cracked the lens hood on the Sigma 17-70, and a teenssy weensty scuff mark near the shutter button............ have taken about 30 0 pics since on a multitude of settings to see if i have killed anything and it is absolutely perfect......

Was a bit of a potty mouth when it fell off though!

cheers guys - just me thinking that whilst replacing 4 AA's is a pain in the backside, they are readily available, pretty much, should you mess up.

So I have a tally of 5. 2 Pentax and three - 3rd party's that should cover me well!!! Might have to get some more memory though as it chews through memory cards like no-ones business!

Roughly how long (no of exposures) should I expect a K20d battery to last? Previously had a K-m and if the rechargeables ran out could always bung in 4 x AA Duracell to get you through the emergency.

However with the rechargables........ that isn't an option, so what can i reasonably expect.

CS3 works fine with my K20d and PEF or DNG. Have version 4.7 of camera updater........... anythign higher and it keels over.

you open to offers on the 50mm?

Thats a top tip I am going to change with my K20d tomorrow.........

Well it's gone back to warehouse express for pentax to fix.

yay!!!!

ooh can yuo add me to the queue for the slide to digital contraption please!


Thanks
