I doubt if the scales on FA/DA lenses are very accurate

It's better to buy a MF 24mm, 28mm or 35mm and use INFINITY at f/8.
Most things from about 4m to INF will be in focus.

It's totally wrong to blame SRS because you failed to make
the payment and I wouldn't expect Paypal to do anything other
than cancel things.

I've used Paypal to buy loads of gear off SRS and never had any
problems and the goods were always dispatched on the same day that
I ordered them.

The zoom should be usable fully manual. On some lenses the
main zooming ring/grip can be slid backwards and forwards to
switch on and off..... OR there will be a switch.

Search on line for the FA lenses manual

OR Get the two FA Manuals off this page link.

They only mention bits about the 28-70mm, but I don't
think an individual manual was ever done for it

You can always buy a SH one on here (with receipt)that was originally supplied by SRS and SRS will transfer what remains of the 24 month
Warranty to you, because you are a member of this forum. Or buy SH
off SRS with whatever guarantee they give on SH cameras.

The Kr doesn't seem to suffer from many faults and is very
reliable.

Looks good.... get the Post Office Red Paint out!

Someone in a local country village which consists of stone built
cottages with and without small gardens, bought one of these and
painted it PO Red and put it in the garden with a naked female
dress shop dummy inside using the phone It almost caused
quite a few crashes as car drivers couldn't believe their eyes
and had to turn their heads for a 2nd glance!

I like all 13 of them, they are all of a good professional
standard

Nikon may well struggle to meet demand currently. Pentax should make hay.
The Massey Ferguson takeover is just another rumour

I've got a large quantity of K-r's arriving tomorrow or Monday. I think demand is outstripping supply at the moment!
It would be suicide to discontinue it then
