Of course, Jon. Let me just package them up...

... oh wait! With a bit of work from a small chisel (to remove the pearl) and some red paint I can upgrade them to the new models! They will be minus the new coatings, but they seem to resolve fairly well to me at the moment ;D

Love the first one - great timing and perfect shutter speed to capture the water running back into the sea. Very clever and effective.

Such a shame. You try your best to help them out and volunteer your time and skills and all you get is grief.

Ultimately the charity loses out

I think the crop is a bit tight - it feels a little claustrophobic to me.

Can we trade in more than one

Hi there

Title says it all really. Wondering if anyone is looking to sell a 31 Ltd. Preferably black but silver would be fine. Would need to be in good condition.

I'm in London so happy to purchase in person if someone is close by.

Thanks

WG

Strange, the pin fits into the little screw recess at the front of the K5 for me. It's not deep but definitely goes in. Maybe it is the combination of this and the textured rubber that stops it slipping.

I've never had a problem. The heaviest lens I have used this way is probably the f2.8 A100 macro (all metail construction and fairly heavy) or the f4 50-135. I've also used the Sigma f4 100-300 but this has a tripod collar so the weight is not front-loaded.

Hmmm, it definitely slots into a hole in the bottom of my K5. I will check when I get home but it may be the recess for a screw. The position of the main screw on the Giotto plate is adjustable so I can line up the pin too.

I'll report back this evening...

If I'm understanding you correctly (and it is possible I'm not!) it sounds like the RS ball head plate just doesn't have a locating pin. Do you mean a partially retractable pin that slots into a second hole at the bottom of the camera?

My Giotto ball head has one of these and it seems to stop the camera rotating when on it's side.

Do you mean something like this?
