Let's not forget that Covid in still causing problems in the UK and elsewhere. If J Pye's repair team is small and a couple of people are off sick, they will have problems keeping on top of things. And with anything electronic, the world shortage of chips (due in part to Covid) is hitting everything from computers to cars. Supply of parts might also have been affected by B****t. Lots of reasons why camera repairs might not be running smoothly at the moment.

Very true..... and with recent rises in prices of metals, expect to pay a lot more. Let's not forget that Covid in still causing problems in the UK and elsewhere.

Hi Guys, Just wanted to ask has anyone had any dealings with the Pentax authorised repairer's J Pye Auctions ?
I used them about 4 years ago when they replaced the main board in my K-1 under warranty. All went smoothly. Hi Guys, Just wanted to ask has anyone had any dealings with the Pentax authorised repairer's J Pye Auctions ?
It is likely they are the only people in the UK who can access Pentax parts, which is why you are not having luck elsewhere.

Here I have brightened the image, giving extra brightening to the white building.

Nice set. The second and last are the winners for me.
The umbrella in the second image serves well to isolate the subject, although I would remove the tag and triangle of sky upper left.

On No.1 could the lighthouse been brightened a tad to bring it out more?
I agree. The building itself is underexposed to my eye. pschlute wrote:

Don.... I can have a go at some selective brightening to show what I mean ?

and only having one approved service centre and then issues with parts/service backup and supply is not good.
