Thinking about it in retrospect, I was fairly stupid to go wandering around the top of a waterfall. It was probably only a 20 foot drop, but that can do you serious damage.
My household insurance has an all risks add on which will cover me and I will send everything away for a check and service asap. I've been a little tardy in responding to the thread because I've had to travel out to Singapore for a few days. I'd earmarked this as the place to enable myself with a K10D, and to my delight, Cathay Photo (who I can thoroughly recommend) had a 77mm limited in stock as well as the K10D. I compromised by not buying the battery grip, but can see myself being in big trouble with the finance committee when I return. Incidentally, I emailed Cathay before I went and asked for their best price for the K10D and they undercut B&H as well as rip off Britain. The store is fantastic with a huge amount of gear. Sadly, the Pentax range was relatively small, but the rest of it was awesome with some fairly esoteric kit. Am now about to go out and enjoy my new enablement.
