The first version of RT I had worked with PEFs, but when I updated it the crashes started. Of course I had deleted the earlier version. No way back.

XP wasn't bad either.

I think there are two different issues here one is easily fixable.
One issue is blotches or stains UNDER the aa filter the other may be lubricant flinging off the mirror hinges onto the aa filter.
whatever they lube the moving parts with has to be very light and susceptable to flinging off, a heavier lube won't fling, but will generate friction and impede the speed at which the parts move...
I am surprised that oil is used in the body. It seems to me to be begging to have problems like this.I think there are two different issues here one is easily fixable.

I would have thought PTFE bearings would have been a much better option.
I understood it was Pentax User magazine subscribers who could upload more than 1 picture per day. With the sad demise of the magazine, I do not know what the situation is.

Given that the light in Trinidad is pretty good, the big Sigmas should be in their element but one thought on the 150-500, for an extra £50 you could get the optically stabilised version which allegedly is better than the Pentax system (4 stops against three). I would check that out.

When we quote a temperature range on our equipment, it is fairly close tolerance. After all, increasing the temperature range increases production cost, and to have it work outside the quoted range means giving something for free (a deeply unpopular concept these days).
There are a lot more factors than the battery to consider when specifying a temperature range. For example, most electronic components change their values with temperature so the electronics may become unreliable or fail totally, temporarily or permanently.
Most materials expand or contract and this may also cause a failure.
Seals harden and may no longer seal.
This may lead to moisture ingress which may condense leading to further electronic problems. Etc.
Another factor is that often, engineering will come up with a specification for a piece of equipment then sales will "enhance" the spec.

That does look pretty good Mike.

If you are talking Adobe dng converter, it is a much more sophisticated program with a full range of tools for exposure, contrast, white balance, colour, sharpening, noise reduction etc. It is more of an alternative to Lightroom.

As would the warranty if it failed.
