Thanks Steve. wasn't really looking for help here.

FB seem to publish answers to problems I haven't asked about. I have a suspicion that NFC (near field connection) may have something to do with it. Or it's still trying to connect with an old (now closed since 4/4/17) hotmail account from years ago. Will probably take the easy route and just drop this FB account and start from scratch.

My routine is look at the first page, look at the zero at the right. If there is one have a look at the price/item etc. Return to forum as not in the market for anything at the moment.

I looked at it on Facebook. Couldn't see anything offensive

Note to self: Use the lens even if it's just indors or garden. Normal photography due to start end of April

I'm getting fed up with facebook telling me I changed my password two months ago and have used an old password to try and log in. If I just click again on the login button it seems to get over the brain fart and logs in ok. At the moment it is not downloading notifications to my mail box but for some reason my wife gets them on her phone !!! May be time to set up a new account

Both but I've ususally got nothing better to do than "watch paint dry" so not a massive problem just browse other sites instead, facebook etc.

My question why does the pentax server drop the connection so often, ie go to the 2nd page of a thread then try to go back to the first and I get the serching for connection symbol going round and round. It is often quicker to come out of the pentaxuser page and log in again.

Looked at a Q system when they more or less first came out (Barrie Forbes had one) and it felt so small and awkward I couldn't consider it.

As regards blurry images I can and often do get them without really trying. I am now at the stage where I rely on the camera "beep and green lozenge" to tell me when an image is in focus and if that is incorrect it means I'll never ever have a sharp image again even using a tripod and remote Doesn't put me off taking pictures though.

Thanks again for all the feedback regarding this. At the moment all photographic adventures are on hold for at least two months.

What is the max load for this, main for use with gripped K-3 and/or K-70
