sending 2 items to Pentax USA - send them separately?

2006-10-29 Thread Amita Guha
I need to send in my 77m Ltd for repair, and my istD for a cleaning. Should I send them in two separate boxes to avoid confusion? Obviously I'd like to send them both in one box to save a little money, but I also want to make sure everything goes smoothly. Thanks, Amita -- PDML Pentax-Discuss

I look forward to the larger pixel density primarily for the cropping potential. But, even without the larger size sensor, I would probably get it fo rthe SR alone. Add in the other subtle refinements, like the ability to manually control whether the camera is drawing power from the batteries

Good idea! Also, identify yourself on both boxes and include separately written repair information in each box numbered to match a box number. Basic stuff, but there's no predicting the the handling muffs possible. I download their repair form attach any further info I feel may help. Jack ---

I rather like this one. Your skills look pretty good. It doesn't seem to be overdone. I especially like the composition. The sky helps emphasize the rock structures. Nice work! -- Best regards, Bruce Sunday, October 29, 2006, 8:05:31 PM, you wrote: jtca This is a shot I took in February

Great shot James - colours and composition are spot on. Just not sure about the clouds. Perhaps you could try cloning them out to see if it improves things. But it's a minor quibble. Where is this, by the way? Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney
