Joined on the 19th July but this is my visit to the Forum..Thought i would pop in and and say hello..only thing i have done since joining was to down load a picture of my grandaughter into the gallery.. which received some nice comments..Thank You for that..I used to do a lot of photography during the 60's 70's and 80's but with work and other hobbies etc i sort of lost interest..But since retiring 4 years ago i have got that interest back and have been using a Canon Compact Digital Camera..But recently i bought a Pentax KR twin lens kit ( years ago i had Pentax ME Super 35mm.. great camera) that's why i bought another Pentax...I got to say it's a brand new ball game now!!!! Never to old to learn? ..I have only had this Lap Top a few months!! But i do need to ask a Question Da or Dal..? i am thinking of getting a 55mm to 300mm zoom lens( i am certain this question must have been discussed in this forum before ..if so i am sorry to ask again..)The twin lenses that came with the Kit are both Dal.I know you do'nt get a lens hood..that's not a problem i have just bought 2 JJC Lens hoods for my other 2 lenses ..you do'nt get a case..plastic rather than metal mount..and Quick Shift..(do'nt fully understand what that's all about!!)but the main question are the optics... any difference? and is there anything else i should know and look out for? That's it for now.. Many Thanks..Regards Chris...

Hi David
Yes. you are right..Living in Glossop(originally from Fulwood-Sheffield moved here in 1965 when we got married.)does give you some great opportunities ..Glossop is not quite the same now! too many new houses being built,all the fields that the kids used too play in have all been built on..But we are only a few minutes drive away from some great country side..
I think i have found a lens...will keep in touch about that...
Regards Chris..
