Resolution-wise, at this size I can see little difference, but I can see a difference, just.

I'm wondering how many of those 35% will check their lenses/camera now ! ! ! Perhaps JR, SR, & family will check theirs now, knowing that more than half of the PU members that have so far voted, have had to make corrections?

Try as I might I could see no discernable difference between the results even at the extremes +10, -10 however much I enlarged the image. Perhaps the adjustments are more noticeable on tele lenses?
Try one of your longer focal length lenses rather than one of your shortest to see the difference the adjustment can make.

An old rule of thumb with film cameras was to use a shutter speed equal to or faster than the lens length in use EG: 1/300th/sec or faster for a 300mm lens. You might even have to multiply that by 1.5 to 1/450th/sec for the crop factor, then drop back up to the three stops that the SR should compensate for.

He might well do it if it's a kit that SRS have put together themselves.
It's worth talking to them anyway, 2 years warranty from a Pentax-Pro dealer and free postage for PU forum members ought to be a good incentive.

I don't know about Spanish law, but in the UK the credit card company is liable if the goods don't arrive.

I have a picture of my first ever dog, Keri, on my bedside table, even though I had four other dogs since him, each with their own character. All are very dear to me, and all now gone forever except for my memories of them.
RIP Lucky.
