Re: Where to get K-3 ii parts (battery door)?

[Darren Addy]

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
I was able to find the part (I believe) from UScamera.com for $14 shipped.
Note that the same part fits: Genuine Pentax battery cover shell for the
K-3, K-3II, K5, K-5 II, K-5 IIS, K-7, and the 645D digital camera.

So I *hope* this is the part I need. They told me that the latch sometimes
fails and that THAT part is no longer available.

Re: Looking for Photoshop replacement

[Henk Terhell]

Affinity Photo is my favourite photo editing software for tasks where LR 
falls short, such as for focus stacking and object removal.

For 55 euro you get a copy with free future updates.

replace Photoshop only for occasional processing of other images. Just
brightness, contrast, gamma, colour balance, cropping and re-sizing.

Any suggestions besides GIMP?

Alternatively, which non-ransomware version of Photoshop does still run

An excellent gallery, Rick. You have such a good eye. I began wondering 
if I could make our run down town look good with a selective Geso?

Photoshop Elements does everything you mention above (and a lot more).
I suspect the UI will be quite familiar to anyone used to Photoshop.

Re: Where to get K-3 ii parts (battery door)?

[Stanley Halpin]

KEH would also be worth checking. They do repairs, they may well have a UGL 
K-3ii they could sell you for parts or that they could deconstruct themselves 
to do your repair…

My experience with Precision is that they do do good work, anything unusual 
involves shipping the unit to Japan or Philippines or Vietnam, and back, so 
there is a noticeable time lag… And oh by the way they are expensive. Almost 
cheaper to buy a used body in good condition, put your old one in a drawer to 
use for parts.

Yes, still playing with the lens ball, there seems to be a few times a walk
that it comes in handy for shots
