Will check on pc.
Can't seem to do it on the ph.
It's just that when I tried to enter it was giving me
Have not met the required posts message.
And I had thought I had enough made.
Maybe not though.

if I counted correctly, you had 9 posts in July prior to those posted today

The server was overwhelmed momentarily. It queued up all the posts and took them in a semi orderly fashion. But also latency and jitter come into play. Your post could have hung in some router queue on the way to the server.

I am on a fiber connection with generally a 1-3 ms latency according to speed test.net, so it seems I am horribly unlucky and have been twice so far.

Remember folks

these comments do count for the monthly total in an effort to reach the 55,000 limit for the K 1 II

BUT

won't count toward the minimum requirements for the August contest

Adam in case you misplaced my Delivery Address during the confusion; here it is again : Schmidt House 11112222

Just leave it on the stump in the Foyer. We don't have to worry about crime where I live. We haven't had a conviction here in decades granted; mostly because the DNA evidence is all the same.

You were very lucky. The server clock is not necessary "accurate", which is why the thread now sends a message telling how much early your post was if it was early.

**WillWeaverRVA** · 07-30-2018, 06:06 AM

Somehow I managed to make it in, although I clicked send right at 11:00:00 UTC and ended up #34. I didn't make it last time (wasn't eligible anyway) despite doing the same thing so maybe it's a sign!

@Adam I have a quetion about the contest, if I wil lbe enought lucky to win, can the prize be converted into cash so winenr can buy some more used gear localy (lenses, etc). Because such a prize can be very expensive for winner who will need to buy new ff lenses etc.

Honestly, the best thing to do is to stay out of the way of people who do want a K-1 ... as you can see, there are many, many here

1 the nice thing about Pentax is the ability to use lenses made in the past as well as current lenses:

Pentax bayonet lenses labeled "SMC Pentax" are referred to as "K" lenses in the table below. Other Pentax bayonet lenses have the lens designation as a part of their name as in "SMC Pentax-FA."

Note that "star" lenses work like their "non-star" counterparts: DA* lenses work like DA lenses, FA* like FA, F* like F, A* like A, and M* like M.
Exceptions: FA and F "soft" lenses behave like M lenses in terms of metering.

Thank you for an element of levity. We need that about now.

You are a very helpful person Adam.
