When I looked at pictures of the Pentax mains adapter, it looked to have a simple circular concentric plug, but having looked at the camera it is not, it is a non standard socket so that is going to make things more difficult.

He dealt with a number of people who had been professionals who had either burnt out or come unstuck due to their or other's mistakes.
At the risk of seeming self centred, one of the scariest things thoughts that these photos provoke is "How far am I from this situation".

£60 appears to be the going rate for the genuine item, but I see no reason why you should not use a generic power supply of the correct voltage, amperage, polarity and plug (other than warranty issues maybe).

A very thought provoking series Paul. My brother used to work with these people and he heard some terrible stories of how the poor people came to be on the streets. One of his clients had been a doctor.

A fair point Tel, but surely if you take enough pictures, sooner or later you may take one you would rather not have.In my view the First old feller was asked if he would mind having his photo taken, how would Pauly feel if later he found out the person he thourght was asleep was dead and not asleep, how would he feel knowing he had taken the photo and put on here with out waking him up.
I was at Shoreham Airshow in 2007 and while taking a photo of one aircraft I just happen to notice that another aircraft was behaving oddly. I went back to the first aircraft and eventually took the picture only to find the other one had gone in, killing the pilot. When I got the film developed, there was a pall of black smoke in the background.
In the end I destroyed the print and negative.
I'm not sure that the subject of a photo being unpleasant makes it bad.

I'm sitting on the fence on this one, but one question -
Why has this picture caused displeasure when another of Pauly's here was well received?

Agreed. The button cell would not have the power to move the mirror.
3V is a bit low for a lithium cell. 3.3-3.7V would be nearer.

Surely a recession is not the best time to be putting prices up. Does that not lead to no sales, no income and insolvency.
