I've also used the Wasabi batteries on Amazon and they have worked well for me. I've had them for a couple years now with no issues.

Hi, I have a fa77 that won't focus (ring doesn't turn all the way) and a couple lenses that would be good to see if the decentering can be fixed. Also a da35 that won't focus to infinity. Not upset, really, the 77 and the decentered lenses were used a LOT and traveled frequently and the 35 was annodized and I didn't send it back to get adjusted. But, I'd really like to see these lenses work...
Not sure if the DA12-24 and DFA 24-70 need special equipment to fix the decentering though...
Anyways, if there are some folks that are good at this kind of work, I'd love to see if they are available.
Thanks,
Mike

has it been in stock in the US? BH has been backordered every time I've looked. ---------- Post added 11-23-21 at 10:33 PM ----------
The GR's quickly became the most used cams I own, so I would love a longer focal length.

Thanks for the heads up on this deal. I thought I was too late, but it's still on. Haven't been shooting much during the pandemic, but maybe this will get me motivated to get out and get some shots.

On your Iphone shots, look at how dark the grass is. On the KP, see how bright the grass is? that makes the sky brighter and the rainbow less visible. If you are shooting in AV mode, turn the front dial to the left to adjust your exposure compensation down about 3 stops. In the viewfinder you'll see where it has a # that changes as you turn that wheel - keep turning until you get the shot you want. MAKE SURE you turn this back to zero before you move on otherwise all your shots thereafter will be 3 stops under exposed!!
Get in the habit of reviewing your shots after you take them - if they are too bright, adjust exposure down. If they are too dark, adjust exposure up. You may want to change your exposure mode to center weighted or spot mode too, but first things first. Get to understand exposure and how (and when) to adjust it.

Not sure if this is a good program for us Pentaxians or not but thought it might be worth posting in case it is: Capture One Capture One Pro 20 (Download) 88200033 B&H Photo
Looks to be download only for a permanent license.
Here's some verbiage that Capture One provides:
Capture One Pro 20 is an advanced and comprehensive photo workflow tool suiting a variety of applications from photo editing to tethering to asset management and organization needs. Version 20 of this esteemed software sees updates to core editing tools, including a Basic Color Editor, for a more streamlined and faster editing workflow. A dedicated High Dynamic Range function helps to achieve improved shadow and highlight response while enhanced Noise Reduction affords cleaner, clearer results for working with imagery shot at high ISO values. Faster editing is possible with an updated scrollable interface along with a "switch to next" function for quicker culling and sorting of files. This version also now supports DNG files and has updated keyboard shortcuts, the ability to copy both layers and masks between files, and an even cleaner interface for a more enjoyable working experience.

You know, I have one of these that I'm just not using enough. It's a shame, really, as it's easily one of my favorite lenses.
Send me a PM and I'll send you some pictures of the lens.

Worked for me too - uploaded a couple pics as well. Ran into a problem because of the 15mb limitation though. And the PPG accepts GR pictures too though it doesn't differentiate between the first, second and third gens. Also the order of the lenses is almost random - wish they sorted it by focal length (or at least the widest of that lens) to make it faster to find. But nice to see it's up and going again!

Idaho is a beautiful state. I'd love to spend some time there exploring and of course getting some landscape pics. It's a rugged place, just like the k3. Welcome back!

With the shrinking market for cameras in general, interchangeable lens cameras, and DSLR's specifically, where does Pentax see opportunities to differentiate themselves?
How did the conversion of K1's to K1ii go? Is this level of modularity something that Pentax will design their cameras for in the future?
Does Pentax believe that sensor technology is changing as fast as it has recently and if so, in what areas will these changes have the biggest impact on Pentax camera design?
Is the near monopoly of sensor production by Sony damaging to niche/smaller camera companies like Pentax?
