Oh dear, I meant JPG! Sorry. I think I have found the problem - in Lightroom, export, there are options under metadata and mine was set to 'copyright only' but changing this allows the exposure & lens info. to be shown. Hopefully it will remember now.

The Pentax site lists the K-70 as available but not the K-1 nor the new FF lenses although retailers have stocks.

I 'save as' in pdf to retain the original unaltered. I was about to blame the K-1 but remembered there was a Lightroom update at the same time so it could be the settings were affected.

How do we know you didn't find the ex-mole on the lawn and stuff it in a hole for it's immortal pose?!

Just a thought, did you put anything on the lawn which might have affected it or it's food, like lawn sand?

Dealers here are expecting prices rises soon - the pound buys less for imported goods now and I am told there is a shortage of stock of the K-1 and new lenses due to demand and the earthquake affecting Sony sensor production in Japan.

I have noticed that the images from my K-1, converted in Lightroom from Raw to JPEG, don't show the EXIF data in the gallery nor on Flickr. My earlier ones from the K-50 did so anyone know why and what I can do to rectify this?

Ok I get it - Pentax are not the go-to brand for video. Well, if I used video that could be an issue but I don't, or rather I use a cheap camcorder with motorised zoom etc. which is a basic function that none of the brands feature. I pick the bits of a review that is relevant to what I want or would like and you know, sometimes I just go with what feels right or looks good and that is why I rejected Canon first (unredeemingly ugly) and Nikon as the budget ones felt disappointingly plasticky.

Scarr1, since scaring myself after googling Peak Design failures I see that the link with the spring clip has been redesigned to make sure it doesn't come out. I bought this product because it claimed to take any weight of camera and lens combination and with a breaking limit many times the load I would put on it; disappointed to see they don't reimburse equipment damaged by failure of their product although testing that in a court would be interesting. Time to review camera insurance!

Curious that the K-70 and new lens are listed as available on the Pentax website, but the K-1 and all the new FA lenses are unavailable. Shops have some in stock but I am getting the impression that demand has created a shortage.

I have found a monopod with a simple monopod head is a good compromise with a large zoom, more portable and quicker to set up than a tripod.
