I don't understand JAK's point about unzipping.
The file automatically unzips itself when you download it. The .bin file is the unzipped file.

This is driving me daft - I've never had a problem before.
K3 - I've downloaded the correct bin file and transferred it to a newly formatted SD card, inserted into slot 1, turned on camera holding down menu button - nothing, it goes straight to the normal menu.
Then I saw JAK's post about unzipping it. Double clicked to unzip, got a smaller file with cpgz suffix, repeated above procedure - exactly the same result.
HELP!!

I don't want to spoil the results for anyone, but if you haven't got 20 minutes to spare, they are:

Overall, collated scores for the set of photos.
#1 - Nikon
#2 - Canon
#3 - Panasonic
#4 - Fuji
#5 - Olympus
#6 - Sony
#7/#8 Tie - iPhone 7/ Pentax

Obviously not a great result for Pentax !!
Surely one downside must be the fact that different lenses render differently?
An impossible scenario, but the only true test of a sensor would be using the same lens for all 8 manufacturers?

I've just clicked on your Flickr link - I wish I hadn't, the images are superb, I feel so inadequate and envious!!

I bought one a month ago to supplement my K3, and I'm delighted with it. It's also great not to have to use a flucard!

The set really captures Autumn. Very nice.

I find 1, 6, 9 & 10 interesting but, quite honestly, ICM leaves me dumbfounded !

An interesting composition - I really like it.
