I haven't needed to do any on my K5II and everything seems to be sharp enough, though I haven't tested it yet. It's odd as some of the same lenses needed quite a varied adjustment on my GX20 and not all the same way / amount.

Have you tried cleaning the contacts on the lens?

Also, is there any movement when it's on the body? I've experienced this on a large Sigma (can't remember which?) where I had to kind of hold and lightly twist to make the contacts connect otherwise I'd get a similar thing to what you're experiencing.

I'm guessing it works ok in complete manual mode?

Thanks for the review. I may have missed it but how did you find the battery life?

I like the idea of GPS tagging but not sure it's worth the cost

Fantastic photo's as always - I live in the same part of the world as you but never manage to prodcue anything like that

These images seem to be processed differently than your others? Maybe a change in 'tweaking' or change of lens perhaps?

You can't turn off the Metro interface in Windows 8, there is no 'classic' option, though there are 3rd party bits of software that will put the start menu back, etc.

I've had a play with it and didn't have any issues personally, though I do tend to launch most things from the Run dialog box or use keyboard shortcuts anyway and all these are the same in Windows 8 as previous versions. Losing the 'Start' button isn't the issue a lot of people make it out to be.

I don't have the urge to rush out and upgrade though.

The officers involved should be sacked and charged with criminal damage.

Of course nothing will happen and they will continue to act that way.

Well I cracked and went for the plain mkii, I know I will regret not getting the mkiis but spent way too much money on kit this month already...
That's what I went for as well. I'd spent some time trying to decide between the two but when this offer came it up it really focussed my mind and as I couldn't really see much difference between the two I went with my wallet and have to say haven't looked back

Chris - forgot to mention my part ex refund showed up on the 24th, I know I'd mentioned it on this thread and didn't want anyone to be worried about it. Thanks.
