Last shots from my dearly departed... · 07:12 PM

My dear K20 died... RIP (repair in process)

These were from the last few minutes of her life... I had to keep removing the battery and SD card, and pulling the lens on and off to get these.

fine parting shots from old Penny and her good friend tammy...

Pentax K20 and Tamron 70-300

Wow Gus, the first one is nearly perfect. Great work!

Sorry to hear your Penny is not well.

cheers

Thanks for showing the Love to my poor K20d and to me...

I will box her up and send her in tomorrow... I am sending the DA 40 in also to try and get the back focus issue fixed with that lens on the K20d

Wish me luck...
