has anyone got a link to the Pentax registration page for the UK ?

On their wonderfully newly done Site I can't find it

The American page , though it does offer the UK can't cope with our Postal codes

Yes - I can't praise SRS highly enough

Chris had been told of my latest problem on Monday evening and that's when he found the other P70 . I phoned SRS on Tuesday morning about it explaining that I was really not very happy and Chris phoned me back in the afternoon .

I'd been dreading what would happen - I wasn't prepared to accept the white one back - I felt that Pentax hadn't checked it properly . I'd sent it back to SRS , with a very clear statement of the problems . Having had the Fuji die with sensor problems I was convinced that the white P70 was a victim of that .

I was astounded when it was returned with the info that the lens had been calibrated and checked and all was well. And as we knew very swiftly, all was not well.

So when the white P70 turned up its toes again I started to think of a replacement . I felt that I would not be able to trust this particular P70 again .

The supply of the brand new lovely red P70 really cheered me up . Somehow it's not as slippery as the white one - and for me that's a plus point . It is on a neck lanyard for safety [ and umm Pentax don't make one ]

FIrst hastily snatched pic - taken from the window of my Freelander . Can't do anything about the colour of the sky - that is really what it's like. Colours of the block of flats are accurate I would say

Well - the red one has appeared -- about an hour ago SRS are wonderful

All set up now and will get 'christened ' at some point today.

The red is quite a dark one and it's not as in your face as was the white one - that was veery very white and shiny and slippery .

This exudes class

OMG

That comment is very very definitely a " having said that I'd better get my coat and run away very very quickly before I get lynched " type of thing

umm you are going to find this a VERY interesting thread

I have skylight , UV and Circular Polarising and I'll admit to having a Skylight on the 18-55 and the 50-200 lenses - not yet on the 40mm but I expect that to be used mainly inside .

Nah I haven't got CBA my original cards were sort of teeny ones from the old cameras - biggest was a HUGE 1 GB one

I got the 8GB with the K-x and got 2 PNYs for the Kodak and then discovered that it couldn't cope with SDHC Cards - so they were here and sort of spare - so got used in the white P70 [ well 1 did ] till it was filled up .

My aim is to have a spare card for each camera [ bit like batteries ]

I'll be standardised on 4GB cards now . Good idea about the Write Protect though - that had not struck me
