The opening price is going to be insane. If they're guessing $1599 then we'll be paying £1599.

Great conversion rate :///
Have you looked at the GBP/USD rate recently !!!

My partner works in the care industry. He is continuing to work although is setting up to be able to do most of it from home. There will still be emergencies where he will actually have to do a call which means going into an elderly persons home and have very close contact with them. It would be tragic if he becomes ill or passes on the virus because he caught it from someone who did not need to be out and about. Same applies to anyone who cannot stay home because they have to physically be in work ranging from NHS staff to petrol station attendants.

I have been isolating as a precaution for a week now which means an occasional visit to the supermarket, and a street walk with the dogs avoiding contact with others. Today we have a wealth of ways of communicating with friends and family without having to see them face to face.

Any unnecessary contact is shameful selfish and deadly behaviour.

Naturally we get the urge to meet your friends and relatives because 'we don't have it',
"Naturally" I do not want to catch the virus or pass it on unwittingly to anyone whether they be a friend or family or stranger.

We are being asked to stay at home. It is not difficult.

Follow the medical advice. This virus is not the flu. The sight of all those idiots treating this last weekend as a bank holiday is disgusting. They are consigning many hundreds and probably thousands to death for being selfish.

The stupidity is beyond me.

Round here the army were doing dry runs last week stopping cars and asking people what there business was. I hope they will be doing this for real now.

The camera doesn't have FF profiles for the APS-C DA lenses (other than the 200* and 300* (and I believe maybe one other) which are officially FF compatible. (I'm sure I read that somewhere, presumably in the K-1 manual.)
Also the profiles don't seem to be activated for raw images, just in-camera jpegs.
Yes that is in the K1 manual. The two * lenses you mention have profiles for both crop mode and FF mode.

The profiles are recorded in the raw file. Whether they are applied or not will depend on your pp software settings. In Slikypix DSPro I can choose between three settings : On/Off/Camera settings. The first two are self-explanatory. if I choose the third setting, the software will apply the corrections to the raw file if I have my K1 set to apply corrections to jpegs. Quite neat really.
