Love your post Ronnie!

Accepting that the whole percentage thing rating (which as Daniel has said was a request by the magazine) is fairly subjective, it has seemed that in the past the very occasional Pentax reviewed by OP has not come out very well (in percentage terms).

I suspect (but don't know for certain) that has been because reviews have been carried out by non-Pentax users who really haven't managed to get a feel for the camera in the short time they have had it. Its great that on this occasion a Pentax user has been asked to review coming from a position of understanding the way a Pentax works

Used Asahi Photo a couple of times - good workmanship

Excellent Daniel - have just opened my copy of the magazine. OP camera reviews are usually up in the 90s it seems, so good to see the K-3 amongst them!

Yes it was me! (£110 actually) through Asahi Photo.

Nice ones Adrian!

and a PS to this - the old pier at Brighton won't be around much longer to do a cliché of - several more supports have gone this last day or so - be sad to see it go

For me a beautiful view in Scotland often appearing on mag covers etc; Beauchaille-etive-mor (if I've spelt it correctly!)

Went to the exhibition last Friday - some great images - including this one! Well done Bill

Very sad news indeed. And thank you David Storm for posting a bit of background to the thread where Richard seemed to have 'lost it'.
