Hi gang, first of all, the good news: A big thank you to Pentax for fixing my K10D free of charge and also to Novoflex for doing the same with my macro rail and shift adaptor.
Next, the not so good news: My 18-250's stuck zoom will cost € 103 to fix and it will be every bit as loose afterwards. The zoom can't be made to have more friction. Just FYI. And while on the subject of things slipping down/out unexpectedly: My AF-540FGZ's reflector won't stay put when I point it up for indirect illumination with a Lumiquest bounce-something attached (I have 3 different ones, eBay steal, same difference to a degree), it keeps flopping down, the leverage is just too much for what little stiction the reflector can muster. I was wondering if anyone had a DIY fix or suggestion what I might do? I was thinking to put a length of 3mm accessory cord and a tanka around the base of the flash maybe and somehow attach it to the reflector but it seems awfully cumbersome given I have to change the reflector's position every time I go from landscape to portrait and back. There has to be a better way. Your suggestions will be much appreciated. Cheers Ecke ----------------------------------------- Cameras don’t shoot people.
