The day started with a banana box full of real ale, bars of chocolate and motorbike mags for Father's day
Mine started off with a bar of Marzipan, a bar of chocolate and a new pair of sunglasses ... my son then promptly scoffed the marzipan and went out to play wearing my sunglasses.

I hid the chocolate.

Still if what he says is correct then it's got to be a relatively easy fix in firmware.

If that were so why didnt Pentax do it with the K10D and K20D.

The K-m also gets a better score on there

The strange thing is I have a Sigma 105mm Macrolens that I find a lot easier to use! I seem to be able to get a lot closer with that.
You will get closer with the 105mm, it's a dedicated 1:1 macro lens, the 70-300mm is 1:2 I believe.

Excellent shot and the chimneys just add to the sense of speed imo.

Thanks for the comments

Mike (no offence), quality is not the best, not sharp and/or blurry (not speaking about the first one ). I have said that as I know you can take much better pics (just by seeing your photos in the gallery).
I am sure they could have been sharper and after looking at the exif I noticed I was on ISO 100 which was a bit daft considering the weight and focal length of the lens and the fact I was hand holding. Next time I will bump the ISO a bit I think

I contacted JPSS about the mark on my sensor and notice that unlike Pentax themselves if you do not accept their quote they charge you for returning the camera. Ah well, should have got it done sooner .. will wait until the K-7 is released now.

Edit: Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I'm not moaning about it as I think it's correct that they do .. after all they are a business.

Surely Paypal would not have refunded without inspecting it first, they must have found something in the investigation that favoured the buyer. :
Paypal do nothing, I had a mobile returned once after the buyer started a dispute (because he changed his mind) and after a lot of hassle with Paypal they told him to return it. Once he did that they contacted me to make sure it was back to which I replied yes but he had not included the original manual, battery or case. They refunded him and told me to contact the police
