I was in the alps a few years ago when the emergency helicopter landed near our hotel. Everyone was out getting photographs of it. When it took off there was the inevitable snow storm. All the canikons turned their backs or put their cameras under their jackets. We got covered with snow and one of them warned me -"you've got snow on your camera". I just told him that it was OK as it was a Pentax and they can cope with weather, and just carried on shooting.

Is this easy to do? If so, how do I do it?Alternatively, you will be able to convert it to screwdrive so you can still use it. The AF with screwdrive is just as fast if not faster, and not all that loud.

The SDM on my three year old DA* 16-50 has stopped working. I've tried cleaning the contacts, but it made no difference. Anything else I should try?
If not, where's the best place to get it repaired, and any ideas on how much it might cost?

Many thanks for posting this version, and I think that it's really nice, I like the way that the river leads you in, but on balance I also prefer your original post in the gallery.

From 8th – 27th January 2018 Guildford Photographic Society will be holding their biennial exhibition at the Guildford Institute, and one of my images, shown below, has been judged as the winner in the Landscape class. I am one of only two Pentax users in the club - there used to be a couple more but the others have migrated to micro 4/3rds. The successful image was taken in the New Forest in October 2015 and has previously been shown in the gallery.

Ditto - except that I mainly use the Nik plugin 'Define'.
