Thanks all. Yes, it has been reported to the British Transport Police and I have started an insurance claim. Thankfully, I never throw the boxes away so I have plenty of proof that I owned one.

Meanwhile... if anyone has a K-3iii for sale...

Thanks, Kris.

Not sure. I think most of them were downloaded but I'm rubbish at deleting them off the card until the card starts getting full...

That's a good idea. Thanks, Kris.

I've got all the boxes somewhere with the paperwork, just need to find them. I don't throw any of that stuff away. Hopefully the serial number is on something. I put my name into the metadata settings for the camera so all the photos taken with it are tagged with my name. It had a red OpTech camera strap attached to it and was in a LowerPro holster-type camera bag.

Thanks folks, it's a real pain. It was my favourite digital camera by a very large margin that did everything I wanted it to.

Cheers, Kris.

Unfortunately, I had my K-3iii with a SMC Pentax-FA 31mm Ltd lens stolen on the train on Saturday.

If anyone sees a rather worn looking K3iii for sale, especially if it comes with a 31mm Ltd please let me know? It'll probably be from someone in Hertfordshire. I'm keeping an eye on ebay but am not on Facebook. Not sure where else to check.

Thanks, Kris.

Also really nice! I did a "Single in..." challenge with this lens a few years back. The results are here but be aware there are a lot of "late night safety" shots.

Cheers, Kris.

I had one of the first K-3iii in the country (I won it.... I don't normally buy so quickly after release) and its been knocked around quite a bit (the chassis is showing through the black paint on the edges and corners) but so far (fingers crossed) it has worked perfectly. The only time it has done something odd is when I have accidentally set some mode or other with the special settings thingy-wotsit which I have never figured out and to be frank, don't need.

Hope the replacement works out great. It is a brilliant camera.

What a lovely trio! I have (and often use) an early Mark 1 (made in about 1964 according the chap who serviced it). I have a couple of Mark 2s which I rarely use (for no good reason) but I don't have the F.

Thanks for posting, lovely to see these gems, and even better to know they are still in use.

Super photo. For a change (for me) I think the colour just edges it this time.

A friend of mine had sent me the link to that article. Fascinating stuff and a real insight into "photoshop before photoshop"! Well worth a read.
