It did have a problem with screws coming loose internally if I remember rightly.

just to throw another spanner in the works i would go for K3ii, had one for a long time. A third party flash can be picked up if required and not hat much of a problem to use. Only reason i no longer have the Pentax is due to health reasons and had to reduce weight but if things should improve at any point i will be straight back looking for a K3ii , unfortunately K3iii out of my price range. Still have the little IR converted Pentax 1st DL and a couple of small lenses.

excellent set Gareth , such a shame to see it like this.

thanks for comments and will let you know on the tap when i go back that way next. Yes David it is pretty steep in places, we are very close to the top of the Cotswolds escarpment with views across the Severn Vale to the Brecons, The Black mountains and down to the 2 severn Bridges . On really clear day from some viewpoints you can see the sun glinting off the windows of houses in Malvern

1. Lower Street and Winter trees ,Whiteshill.



2. The olbigatory lost glove i seem to see on quite a few walks



3. Pools of Light



4. Pretty but Poisonous Pollen



5. Floating Tap (need to go back and have a closer look to see how it is done)



6. Unhinged

the kids watched it

weeeed

has anyone done this through Ebay since brexit as some of the prices seem pretty good.

thanks for looking and comments, one of the good things about winter is not having to be awake at some stupid hour to see things like this

have tried an M10 mk2 in the past, excellent build quality and decent images but found a) i struggled to post process the files compared to the Pentax and they often had the appearance of being over sharpened straight from camera but the biggest problem was for me the lack of or difficulty to get shallow depth of field or subject seperation. I know i did not have PRO lenses also don't have a bottomless pit of money being a pensioner but the ones i had were classed as good by Olly users. I personally think the Pro lenses grossly overpriced compared Pentax , 300mm f4 pentax aroud £1000, Olly 300mm f4 around £2000 . Not even going that high a decent wide angle aps-c Sigma 10-20 , second hand about £120 olly/ panny equivalent or thereabouts 7-14 £300 plus. Just my experiences, glad in the end i backed away from losing my Pentax kit, rose tinted glasses had me with tunnel vision on the weight issue when there is so much more to consider in favour of the bigger sensors.
