I finally got around to using the freebie one that came in my Sept/Oct wonderbox. It wasn't very big so I put a 6x9 neg on it (could have used a 5x4 just) It came out looking pretty sweet.
Many years ago I bought some plastic sheets for printing negs onto to make larger cyanotypes and then, of course, never got around to it. Heaven knows where I put the box...

... and they'll charge you a handling fee to collect the VAT.

What a wonderful day you had to capture these images, Peter. Churchyards and old church exteriors, and their interiors if they are open (rare during the pandemic), are probably the photographic subjects I enjoy most and I appreciate these - thank you. But I don't have a shift lens (one day perhaps), so I have to straighten them in software; is there one for K-mount APS-C?

Pentax made a 28mm shift lens which although not very wide works fine in most cases. I was selling one but no one here bit so I have just sold it on ebay. There are Samyang and Laowa shift lenses in K-mount but I have no first hand experience of them. The Laowa is a 15mm lens so plenty wide enough for APS-C.What a wonderful day you had to capture these images, Peter.

Wonderful photos. Just my thing.

I'm sure with the new shake reduction system you could probably handhold that if you want...

What we find really frustrating is the fact that when various courier firms deliver to the wrong address, their "help systems" (a misnomer if there ever is one) never have the option "We've delivered to the wrong address." You look-up the tracking-number and it says "your parcel has been delivered..." and no option to say "no it hasn't". And don't get me started on those utterly useless automated chat bots. Even better is when they show a photo of your parcel sitting on someone else's front-doorstep. Once, when we finally got through to a real human being, they suggested looking around the area for a door that matched the photo... I must say, however, that after a year of lock-down, this happens less frequently than it used to.
PS Funnily enough, tweeting a complaint works better than trying to contact them through the "help" system.

You're getting one for free anyway and I doubt PF will upgrade you to a premium edition given that the price of this new model has probably taken them a bit by surprise
Perhaps someone who gets the premium edition just for the grip will sell you their leather strap?
Certainly the premium edition in black would be my choice if I had a chance of getting the purchase approved by the ministry of finance.
I wasn't expecting them to! I'm not that greedy. If I'd wanted it, I'd make-up the difference. As it is, I can use my existing batteries and I hate grips. Perhaps I'll use my Pentax 100 strap which is languishing in a box at the moment. I think I'll pass on the fancy hotshoe cover...You're getting one for free anyway and I doubt PF will upgrade you to a premium edition given that the price of this new model has probably taken them a bit by surprise
