Quite an achievement and clearly well deserved. What lens do you use? I have the DA*300 and TC but often struggle to get the focus right.

Have you tried a rocket blower as the dust removal function sometimes needs a bit of help?

HD 1.4 Converter received today and I am looking forward to trying it out. Many thanks Gareth.

Have sent PM and payment for HD rear converter.

Why not keep them both and let the wife go? Seriously I suspect that the fish eye effect is a novelty which will soon wear off and I think the sigma would be much more useful long term.

I rather regret buying the flu Card especially as I paid £99. I thought it might be useful for seeing a magnified view when shooting macro subjects, but the resolution is a disappointment but the main issue is that the camera keeps dropping the connection all the time so it is more trouble than it is worth. Another disappointment is that a windows phone can not be used as the latter does not not run Chrome.

I have trialled any number of different programs and I keep coming back to ACDSee Pro ( now version eight ). It is very straightforward and there is no importing or exporting to worry about. It has the same interface for JPEG as for RAW and does most of what Light Room does. I use this in conjunction with PSE for any really detailed work.

Only this afternoon I renewed my acquaintance with the flu card and was hoping to connect to my brand new Nokia 930 but alas none of the supported browsers are available on a windows phone and it is anyone's guess whether they will ever be. I am a little disappointed - one of the factors in the purchase was the 16MP camera ( they say 21MP but it is actually 16DNG + 5 JPG). I have not used the camera exhaustively but initial impressions are favourable as it seems to expose extremely well and is pretty sharp - just a pity that you can not get the think to work with the Pentax Flu Card.

I bought one when it first came out and have hardly used it since. I have not found any lag at all between pressing the button on my tablet and the camera reacting - I would say that it is fairly instantaneous. I was a bit disappointed that the resolution on my HD tablet is not higher ( 720). It is best used when there is no other wifi in operation as I find that the tablet will often default to my home wifi mid operation and then I have to go back into settings and reselect the flucard- this can be very annoying. One reason for lack of use is that my Nexus tablet does not seem to be bright enough for outside use when the sun is shining. It is a nice gadget for gadget minded people such as myself but would I spend money on this again? - I rather think not. I must try to make greater use of it and it is obviously an advantage that you do not have to bend down to look at the LCD screen on the camera, but that advantage will disappear if Pentax ever produces a DSLR with a tiltable screen. I would also be inteested to hear other folk's experiences with the flu card.

I was skeptical about this at first but I have found an improvement in my results. Repeated focusing can increase the incidence of misfocused pictures and after a while the back button focus becomes automatic. The K3 is better suited because of the placing of the button, but when I change to my K5IIs I find myself searching for the button which is not so conveniently placed.
