Don't know if anyone is still interested but as far as I can see nobody has mentioned Bessel Studio Lighting at Swadlincote, Derbyshire. Their prices are more than competitive, and they are a British Company too. I have a couple of old 500w units and they seem ok to me, although I'm not exactly an expert. Incidentally, I have no connection with Bessel other than as a satisfied user.

I have found that the converter (or update) which you download from the Adobe site is pretty good and in both my downloads, for Nikon D300 (NEF) and Fuji X100 (RAF) files, batch converts to DNG quite simply from the desktop.

Still, thank you Pentax for saving us the bother, small as it is.

I converted a Contax 35mm using the Leitax lens mount converter. The process is fairly simple and the instructions comprehensive. It's a good lens which I still use, and if converted carefully and parts kept after removal I would imagine a retro conversion back to Contax mount should be possible. The only problem is the lack of auto diaphragm.

I too have a Beike gimbal. I've not used it much as yet, but it does seem to work well, especially if you set the camera using the on-line Wimberley instructions. It did feel a little gritty and stiff out of the box, but this disappeared when I mounted the camera on it. All in all a good buy for me.
