Always learning something new here.

Peter, thank you for that.Knowledge sharing is a wonderful thing. I'm really please others have gained from sharing the knowledge too.
I'm looking forward to seeing what results I can obtain now.

It's the same on the K200, I'm surprised people don't know about this!Once you have correctly set the focal length for a manual focus lens (50mm in the case of a 50mm lens), and if it is the only MF lens you have, you need do nothing more than press the shutter button to turn off the 'Select focal length' menu because the camera will 'remember' your last setting and use it ever time until you change it.
Or maybe I just play too much with my cameras.
As for the lens Caz, persevere, the results when you get used to manual focus can be stunning.
