Re: Geso Q picks
Thanks Brian. Actually the 28mm adds some heft to the Q and it feels like a substantial camera yet balanced and I don't feel like it will slip from my hands. So I think it helps steady my hands. It's the darn manual focus I have yet to master. pdml-requ...@pdml.net wrote: Message: 3 Date: Sun, 31 Mar 2013 12:09:17 +1100 From: Brian Walters apathy...@lyons-ryan.org To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Subject: Re: Geso Q picks Message-ID: 20130331120917.horde.dhfmnsaxhcprv4y9daht...@webmail.netregistry.net Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed; DelSp=Yes Quoting Don Guthrie shark50...@gmail.com: I got my Q back from repair in AZ yesterday.

Re: Geso Q picks
Nice shots, Don. The print of the street scene is very nice. That and the yellow flowers are my favorites. Glad to hear that Pentax got it repaired! Replacing the circuit board is not a minor fix... I just did some checking and found a post on PF that translates a message from Pentax Japan saying that they found a bug in the firmware... Other than the rolling shutter distortions I posted about I have not had any problems after the upgrade, and I can't blame the firmware for the rolling shutter effect. It *does* reset *everything* which is not a big deal but you have to redo anything you have customized. Apparently the download link to the v1.11 update is still active, but it looks like a v1.12 (or maybe v1.111) is int he works.
