I am hoping I have a dodgy USB cable (rather than a dodgy socket on the camera). When I attach my K10 to the laptop it keeps connecting and disconnecting. Not too much of a problem when downloading photos as I can use a card reader but I was hoping to sort out using the camera "tethered" to the laptop. Does anyone know where I can buy a new cable, or have one they would sell me? I tried searching SRS and the Shop here but only found cables for Pentax compacts.

Many thanks, Kris.

In what ways? Just curious....

Do I recognise "bored wife" syndrome in the lady to the left?

Thank Hefty really, he inspired me to check a dictionary!

Happy snapping all. K.

The only SMC-K 500mm I have on my ebay database went for 467quid in April.

Personally I like the first one with the bench apart from the blown out sky to the top right, but I also like the latest one with the statues. Sometimes people add to the shot, sometimes they detract. Hikers in bright waterproofs stomping across the scene just get in the way!

A vista is:
1. a view or prospect, esp. one seen through a long, narrow avenue or passage, as between rows of trees or houses.
2. such an avenue or passage, esp. when formally planned.
3. a far-reaching mental view: vistas of the future.

From that definition I am not sure any of the shots submitted so far are vistas!

Cheers, Kris.

There wasn't a Winder A, the MEII winder fitted the A-series cameras, the motordrive has a choice of speeds I believe. As always Dimitrov's site has all the gen...

Cheers, Kris.

Did this ever get sorted? Were the lenses faulty or just needing adjusting on the K20?

Kris.

Let me know if you plan on selling it.

Stunning photos. I especially like no. 2, but then I prefer flowers to bugs!

Cheers, Kris (and welcome back).
