Stefan - the very best of luck in finding a job. I have spent a lot of time over the last few years doing so and it can be soul destroying.

I remember someone on here unfortunately got burgled a while back and they left all his Pentax gear.
That would be me then.

They took my card wallet from next to my K20 and reached across 7 lenses (Mostly DA*s) ant took £10.

Thinking about it, that would make members of Pentax Forums (as opposed to Pentax User) prime suspect with their irrational obsessive fear of SDM.

Tim - the file you are trying to open is the firmware itself. There should have been a file called readme.txt with it when you downloaded it. This is the file you open with Windows and contains the destructions.

It depends. If you do not suffer from SDHC instability issues and the update does not do anything else, then it probably isn't worth taking the (very small) chance of turning your camera into a door stop.

I used to use Raw Therapee as well but had major issues with it crashing after being updated to version 2.4 (I think).

When I updated my K20 to 1.03 it didn't but I haven't checked since I updated to 1.04.

The decision to start flying again is very curious. I hope they have not got it wrong.

There is still the question as to whether Samsung glass has the same coating as Pentax. I have still not heard an authoritative answer to this.

We use 2-3 mains lightbulbs connected in series to discharge our capacitors (substantially larger than you would find in a flashgun).

What we will use when you can no longer get incandescents is another matter.
