It's unlikely the Nikon one would fit Pentax and the Pentax
O-ME53 Magnifying Eyecup doesn't stick out very far. All the
2x magnifiers only show part of the screen.

The KPS UMC Magnifying Eyepiece 1.35x is quite good and fits
Pentax. They also do the same thing without the magnifier, but
I'm quite sure that the magnifier can be screwed out of the
other one if not needed.

I'm looking for another couple of these and know someone
in the UK with 4 to sell I might see if he'll give me a
discount if I take all 4.

Quite sure it wasn't the Beano.... it was a broadsheet newspaper
and almost certainly an American strip cartoon possibly
the one with Dagwood Bumstead.... maybe Blondie!
Could have been the Express? and a Saturday only
thing.

American Comic Strips

During their early days comic strips were published exclusively as weekly features in the Sunday supplement of American newspapers. The term "comic strip" in its strictest sense now refers to a syndicated newspaper feature that appears daily in a single row of three or four panels, together with other comic strips that form a page, and is printed in black and white, except on Sunday, when it appears in two to four consecutive rows and is printed in color in the comic section.

The first colour newspaper comic was in 1896

The last full page comic strip was in the 1950's

Can't remember the paper, but I'm sure that I
saw cartoons in colour first.

Just put a mammoth OS designed for use with servers in
a multi-national commercial environment on it and it will be OK

You would expect at the bare minimum that 17 years
after Windows 95 there would be at least one secure
unhackable version available for things like online
banking and no need for these endless updates.

It has improved slightly.... at one time every
program you tried to install crashed!

It's an old sales trick offer something that's really dross
first so that they think what you offer second is good when
in fact it's also dross

SR is improved in the K-30 That's one advantage
of it being in the body

Can't you just cut down an old lens? I thought they
were just plastic?

For anybody looking for reading glasses (+2 etc. ) you
can buy tiny credit card size specs that fit in your
wallet. They should cut down easily.

Don't forget that all viewfinders have something like
-1 diopter already built in..... something to do with
the apparent viewing distance of the image.
