The last time I visited the camera store that rhymes with “press - ups”, the display shelves were that thick with dust, I just walked straight out again. Not been back since.

Top tip, if you are visiting one of these stores, take a duster with you.

Take care.

I had the opposite problem, walked in there to talk about cameras and the guy carried on dusting at the same time. Not been back since.

Iwent out with my mate for a nfew (quiet a lot actually) of beers last night round Bradford.

He has given me some inside pentax info which he get to know through his contacts in the camera world.According to him Pentax are designing a nb biulding a new lense series, it is goint=g to be called the DFS reange.

So, howmany other of you so called pentaxians knew that?

It's not about what kit I've got, its about having the knowledge to use it to maximum potential.

Ok I'll bite....

It is lens not lense .

If your mate really knows something and told you then he has no doubt broken an NDA is telling you.

Not the sort of person I would trust with a secret.

DFS- Dark Frame Subtraction- why would they use that name when it it already used in photography?

Or maybe Pentax is diversifying, just in case the Q is not a success?

let me guess... this new lens range involves duct taping your empty beer glasses over the kit lens to improve the optics and add a special diffusion filter effect? When the DFS (Drunk Fool Says) series lenses arrives try to remember this:
There is Always gonna be another camera, another series of lenses... It has to happen or the company goes under... Even I could have got drunk and told you that much... so how many rounds did this sage future foretelling cost you?
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

right my mate has come clean, his brother works at DFS Doncaster so unfortunately there is no new lense series.

It's LENS. No matter whether they come from a sofa shop or Pentax or some dubious e-bay seller it is still LENS
