I did look at A3 but to be honest I was thinking about ink and paper costs!
Still got to find the time to sit down and sort out my image files for printing. Currently I am concentrating on images of my 3 year old grand daughter and printing them for family etc. The setup was much easier with this printer too - being that much newer it was Win 7 ready. It has the extra ink tank too, not sure if I will notice too much difference though. I have yet to see how to set up the printer to match my monitor - if it is possible with this model (Read the manual??)

After taking the plunge a while ago with Win7 64, my Canon Pixma MP620 began to misbehave. I downloaded the drivers for W7 etc but the printer still refused to play nicely...
Try and print a 6 x 4 print and the orientation and print size was all over the place. After trawling through many a forum, I came across an article highlighting my very problem - but with no solution - Great!
However, not to be outdone by computer hardware/software I popped into the local branch of Staples and found myself a nice new Canon Pixma MG6250! It has 6 inks instead of 5 (Includes Grey)
Easy to setup under Win7 and even air print from my iPhone and iPad as a bonus. Still the same great results as per my MP620. So a Merry Christmas to me and Happy Birthday tomorrow = result.
Has anyone any views on my new printer - now I've bought it!!!!!

For what it's worth, when in the tropics, we used to store all our kit in a wooden wardrobe with a 60w lamp burning continuously in order to stop the growth of mould etc.

It appeared to work - no problems with any electronic gear, camera kit or clothing (leather jacket,leather belts or shoes).

Well I have loaded Safari and the problem has gone away-maybe for now?

Many thanks for the tips - will keep an eye on things and see how things hold up

Just lately, when looking at the site, I get a message stating that the site is not responding. A refresh sorts it out it seems, as there are no problems whilst browsing from then on.
Using Win7 Prof 64bit and IE 9 64 . Anybody else have a similar problem??
No problem with any other web sites by the way. .....

Thank you for the information. I did contact Lens Coat about a cover for my FA*600 and they asked me to ship it to them so they could measure and fit a cover...I don't think so! Surely there must be somebody stateside that owns this lens and could visit Lens Coat?

I recently contacted Kirk @ Kirk Enterprise Solutions and asked about the supply of an L bracket for my K5.
The response I got was:

Sorry we no longer do.

I contacted Lens Coat a while back also, asking about covers for Pentax Lenses - Not much joy there either

In both cases - N***N and C***N are well catered for.

Kirk also make brackets for Sony etc

Come on Pentax (RICOH) raise your profile...

Many thanks kosu,
