I have heard of someone contacting Pentax by phone and getting a replacement button plunger and the silicon supporting cone free of charge. Worth a try.

I would also recommend buying something like a Haida 10 stop filter, screw-in type, in the largest size you can afford and then buy some cheap step-up rings so you can use it on lenses with a smaller diameter filter ring. The Haida 77mm is about £45 and with this you can easily create exposures of 2 minutes or more.

I tried some cheap Nd filters from ebay and they gave a horrible colour cast.

I can recommend the Haida ND filters, I have the 10 stop & 6 stop 77mm. Awaiting my cheap step up rings.

I remember the very first episode and he appeared with his leg in plaster, he had broken it. Didn't stop him contributing to the programme.

A sad loss

I downloaded the 30 day trial a couple of days ago and have had a bad experience of LR5.

I imported about 30 images and worked on about 15 of them. I uploaded 7 of to Flikr which went ok. But all 30 images were deleted from LR. They were still on the hard drive but had to be re-imported so all the editing work I had done was lost.

Seems LR5 has got some serious bugs

I think the new camera models are great news. It means Pentax has increased their APS-C range from what used to be 2 with the K30 and K5 to 5 with K5II, k5IIS, K30, K50, K500.

One test I did was to cellotape a newspaper page to a wall, making sure it was flat and shoot from a tripod at 90 degrees to it, using the timer. It showed my 55-300 gradually went out of focus from left to right. I got a replacement and that was fine.

Regards
