Pretty much the same story, Alan.
The K110D had a weaker IR cut filter compared to the cameras that came

Most autofocus cameras (film before digital) were sold as kits with

No software update, a DS running firmware 2.x has the same software as

I had my *istD at George Ray's Dragstrip when it went wierd, and what had
happened was the button battery cover had come off. I thought the camera was
