I feel for you. I don't have battery problems but I do have a 18-250 Pentax lens that has a lock on the lens. Well it will decide to get locked in the 18 and I can not expand it out and other times it works as it should. I got it used from KEH and of course it decided to act up after their 6

I finally broke out my K3 and went to a local park and captured some really close up images of turkeys and sandhill cranes - I haven't shot much of anything for the last several months - I hope this breaks my lazy photo streak. -Original Message- >From: ann sanfedele >Subject: Re:

I have somehow managed to lose my spare D-LI90 batteries. In the meanwhile, I went over to my local Pentax dealer and bought two more. Got them home and discovered one of them was a D-LI109 which won't fit the K-1 or the D-BC90 charger. (Note, I didn't even try to put it on the charger) No
