Or at least least till next camera upgrade. I wont be using the mostly recently purchased two bodies for as long, as I used the first two.
Originally posted by Wingincamera Thanks! I'll check it out.
Originally posted by ramseybuckeye Definitely not a super glue, but an epoxy and that type epoxy the wing in camera used must work well with the material in the Pentax cameras. Just make sure you figure out how to clamp it before actually doing the repair, then read the directions, mix it well, and let it cure before using.
Very interesting. Thanks! As for clamps, I own some that will do the job. Just checked and they "fit" nicely.
Originally posted by stevebrot That is very strange. Are you driving around with the flash attached? The shoe is attached with screws through the underside of the camera's top cover. You might be able to flood the area with epoxy, though there is no guarantee that will secure the point of attachment without disabling the built-in flash or the dribble down onto the diopter adjust or eyepiece works.
I shoot at weddings and by the time the flash is added, I move more (dancefloor stuff). Plus, bodies hang from shoulder straps.
Originally posted by DonV Is there a reason you don't use a handle flash? or use your current flash on a handle mount?
Move the stress from the not so substantial hot shoe to a robust mounting handle.
Yeah, I know. I looked into them before but such a setup will become too cumbersome when carrying 2 bodies.
