Mines frozen up 2 or 3 times always after I switch on.
Removing the battery has always fixed it. I can live with
it at present, but if it gets any worse it will have to be sent
back.

Lets hope it can be fixed by a firmware release.

I had a similar problem with a Panasonic HDD/DVD Freeview TV Recorder,
used to lock up after switching on and only removing the mains
lead fixed it. It's now about a year old and I haven't had the
problem for about 6 months, so it may have fixed itself or an
over the air update might have done it.

I read on the net that diffraction kicks in on m4/3 just after
f/5.6 which sounds a pain

Good luck with the Ansmann batteries. Ansmann 2200's were the worst batteries I ever bought Wouldn't even work in a Pentax *istDS and useless at holding a charge for very long.

You can't beat Eneloops.

Most chargers won't overcharge AA's so I'd give them 12/24 hours.

It would be worth you buying a Technoline BL-700 Intelligent
AA-AAA battery charger £30 delivered. It will discharge and test
the batteries individually. From Amazon link

I had one in the old days to use with my Contax. It was a great lens. Actually, I still have it somewhere. I'd love one in Pentax fit...
Contax can be adapted to Pentax quite easily with a Dremel. Just search the US forum.

I believe Sears lenses were made by Ricoh .
I don't think Ricoh actually made any lenses Tomioka (Yashica) made most of the earlier primes, not sure who made the zooms? It could have been Tomioka, but they weren't very high quality. I don't know if they carried on making them after the tie up with CZ?

Pentax were rumored to have made a 50mm for Ricoh, probably an f/1.7.

A lot of K mount Chinon lenses are sold on ebay as being made by Tomioka, but I wouldn't have thought that they would have still made them beyond the release of the Contax?

Unfortunately MF lenses are the stars of a lot of urban myths

You need to look at the thread "Does_my_bum_look_big_in_this_photo" FIRST!

Sorry about the spelling mistakes

Lightening is some sort of dye/bleach and it doesn't come out
of the sky in bolt form!
