Dude! That sucks! I hope the best possible outcome for you.

And here I've been worried because I dropped a blob of ice cream on my shutter button last week (while competing with the kids for bites while we devoured a giant sundae together and I was trying to capture the moment at the same time lol). It's been sticky ever since... I know the K5 is weather resistant but that was some seriously sticky weather.

Well, I got a new lens today and have been taking my camera on my trips now, so I may be in for July if another round is planned. I'm back flying now, so getting to lots of new places, but it will mean some slow uploads as I won't be near a computer all that often. Anywho, I came across a very nice condition (minty in fact) Super-Takumar 1:2.8/105 M42 lens with dedicated leather case, HCE UV Haze 1 filter, and rear cap for $8.00 at GW.

June 26, quite a day.

Sack a Prime Minister, re-elect a Dudd, but most importantly, State of Origin rugby stayed on track, the most intense, physical competition known to mankind (it's like Ring of Honour with an oval shaped ball), and everyone outside of NSW likes to see NSW lose.

Oh, yes, I'm not able to finish the month. K5 is kaput. And I'm not going to bother to get it fixed. If I compete in June, it will be K7, or nothing. Unless you let me use my Nikon gear?

Good luck all.

That's a real bummer Jack. What happened to the K5? I for one hope you do get the urge to return in July (but not with your Nikon).

Re. State of Origin. I live in NSW and I also hope they lose, but that's because Aussie Rules leaves it for dead And I still barrack for Melbourne

The K5 will no longer turn on with a memory card inserted. Jiggling the card will sometimes get it started, but take a shot and it freezes.

I'm an Adelaide crows fan, that is why I'm watching rugby now hehehehehe!. AFL is becoming too sterilised, you're not allowed to contact other players, and the little green maggots wield too much power (umpires). I was going to say p***tas, but that would not be politically correct, and it would be a slur against another minority group!

Argh the K5's are taking blows this month!

My shutter button has gradually become less sticky. Fine now I think but who knows how much I've decreased its life expectancy.

A late post from me for the 27th. Not disinterest - the Forum wouldn't come up for me yesterday afternoon/evening. It's there now but I'm now behind with comments - will catch up tonight.

Any starters for July? I'm in if there's company; thinking of using my WG3.

I've been watching to see if any of you put up a single in July thread but have yet to see one. I am not coming back until August. At that time I will be sporting the K30.

I went to my doctor today and he has scheduled a cat scan as he said I shouldn't be losing weight this fast. In two months I've lost 29lbs.

I'll try to whack one up tomorrow Mar unless one appears beforehand. Hope your scan comes up clear.

Hi all, I reckon my enforced absence is just about over, thankfully, my eye operation appears to have been rather successful. I am still struggling a bit with it, (it was a bit bigger than previous cataract ops) but gets better every day, so i will be available next month, hopefully.
Don't know exactly what lens I will be using, but thinking perhaps 18-250 for it's versatility, under the circumstances.
Jack, I gave up watching State of Origin many years ago, the overdone hype, just bores me.

I'll probably saddle up again for July. The choice will be between the DA10-17, Q-02 and DA*300. Quite a wide range. I'm leaning toward the fish-eye.
