I wouldn't worry too much about using a K5 and Sigma - these are all with the 170-500mm, from RIAT2013. My first time at an air show. I used a monopod and ball head for a bit of stability. Wet weather was a possibility on the day but I'd prepared a sleeve from a thick-ish carrier bag for the lens. Didn't need it as the rain held off. The K5 is, of course, weatherproof

These were on ebay for a further 7 days after my original PU post. I would have hoped that would be sufficient.
I didn't see your original post but when I did I responded straight away. I'd have paid the asking price for the lens I enquired about without hesitation. There are some of us that will do that. Also, I don't use e-bay. I said to let me know if the items didn't sell and got what I considered to be a rude response.

Having a dig at the Pentax community isn't really necessary, is it?

I've only just seen this post.

If the Pentax DA 35mm f2.4 AL does not sell on e-bay, please come back to me.

Regards

Ray

Hi

Can anyone recommend a HDMI adapter for this? I already had several leads to connect to USB, but my K5 has its own mini connector for video.

Thanks

If it's one of the UHS-I compatible cards/adapter it should work. SD, SDHC, or SDXC
And there we have the answer, thank you. I changed the adapter for the latest one I had and it's working with all the Micro cards now.

Cheers!

They work perfectly well in everything else I've used them in, either directly or via an adaptor. But offer them to a KP and they seemingly don't want to know.

Hi

Not sure if this is the right place, but it seems best fit.

I've got quite a few high-capacity cards sat about and thought I'd try them in the KP via one of the ubiquitous adaptors. The camera claims that the card isn't formatted when switching on and when I try to format it get a card error message.

Has anyone had success in doing this or is it just that those cards can't be used in cameras?

A Pentax KP and Grip.

With a little bit of tweaking, W10 can be made to look just like XP/7 and as others have said, it's very stable.

Personally I would be very surprised if Robbie has disappeared from the forum just because a £50 lens has gone missing and would imagine there must be a problem elsewhere but I also agree it must be very frustrating not knowing one way or another.
I am thinking the same thing - I find it unlikely that a well established/long time forum member would tarnish his reputation on the forum and potentially ruin his future sales over 50 odd quid? I wouldn't personally but then at the same time I also wouldn't NOT answer a buyer's message unless it is very exceptional circumstances (Especially when there is a problem with the sale).
For all you know he may be dealing with something far more important to him at this time than as you put it " 50 odd quid ". I can appreciate it may be frustrating, but until you know his side of the story, how about keeping an open mind, eh?
