European prices.

2000€ for body - Approx £1700.00 at todays rate
329€ for the grip - Approx £280 at today rate

Add 25% to UK price because of Brexit (That wouldn't surprise me either)

What we need is for Chris to offer an extra £200 on trade ins before I put my K-1 up for sale.
Given we have an independent trade agreement with Japan we are more likely to get a better deal than if we had stayed in the EU, that ship sailed long ago.

Nice set, I particularly like the vole, what’s a cutey!

There is a dead tree near me where I have seen Greater Spotted Woodpeckers nesting, but not in the last couple of years but I keep checking in hope.

In the main categories links the Optics takes me to Lighting. Also, “Accesories”?

No AF-360 FGZII flashgun, has it been discontinued?

No doubt you are dealing with similar queries for other brands so good luck with this!

That link took me elsewhere.

I had a flucard. I put it in my K3ii and stupidly connected it to my desktop computer. It took a lot of sweating and cursing to regain control of it. It's an abomination of a thing! The one with the K1 does use image synch and works reasonably well with my Samsung mobile. It's very crude however in comparison to simply using the camera conventionally. Set it up to ambush some poor bird or squirrel and you're away but trying to focus on a non centered area where the beast turns up unexpectedly .... ?
We are slightly off topic here with the Image Synch app but I am a bit confused by your remote focusing issue, using an iPad I can touch anywhere on the screen and the camera will focus there.

Mrs Lubbyman complains that her hair is now far too long, but won't let me get near it if I've got a sharp object in my hand. I don't understand it...

I cannot tell you what Mrs RobL threatened me with if I came near her with scissors!

We're going back to Port Quinn in September so I'll be speaking to you about local places to visit.
You could do worse than start at Trevathan Farm Shop at St. Endillion for Sunday lunch although it is very popular and need to book. Home-grown beef in generous servings at a really good price.

Planning to visit our holiday caravan in Cornwall as soon as we can but will have to work around Mrs RobL’s hairdresser. Our beach visits will be limited to very early morning or late evening as access will be impossible in the daytime, roll on the opening up of foreign holidays so everyone can go somewhere else!

I use my K1 Or K5II tethered to lightroom. It works perfectly. I use it in studio. Great for seeing large size images instantly.

Its Capture One that doesnt accept Pentax camera's
Is that on a laptop or desktop? I use ImageSync on my iPad for tethering to the K1 occasionally which gives exposure and focus control, but this sounds like something different.

I just googled it and only Nikon and Canon cameras can do this, here is the compete list: link

I appreciate this may be part of a course but I don't see what it would achieve, wouldn't it be best to transfer the files to a safe drive and then just import them into LR? That way you always have the originals untouched in the SD card in case something goes wrong.
