Have a read of "messups" Your Order link All online retailers seem to use very similar conditions. They all seem to take payment when they feel like sometimes they take it twice and you have to fight to get it back

It would seem that the only way a consumer can be sure to order and get an item is to order it off several suppliers and then cancel it from the others when one of them confirms it's been dispatched

Unusual if the K-m isn't out on old lenses. Pentax cameras going back to the Z-1 and possibly earlier have always been out by 1.5 to 2 stops. The digitals are quite well documented on the US forum. Plus different lenses meter differently even the modern stuff. I seem to get faster shutter speeds with the 55-300mm than anything else and it meters correctly.

There's quite a few card tests like this on Youtube using Canikon's.

Yes they are .. yet probably only 5% of Canon users are FF.
Canon users are traditionally gunnado's and gunnaget's

They buy into the system because they are gunnageta Full Frame and never do just like they all bought into AE-1's with ONLY "Shutter Priority Metering" in the 70's cos they were gunnaget a 1000mm f/1.4 Lens and gunnago an shoot the night time Olympics from 100m away and could just set the camera to sort the speed out for f/1.4 shots

I wondered about that too but couldn't decide if it really bothered me or not. I guess it does. Oh well...

I liked the way the clocks are cut off!

Nice set, I prefer to colour to the B&W. Some of the B&W
is too OTT for me.

I can't get anything approaching sharp at the edge of a Pentax 28mm A f/2.8

I've found the lens test I noticed it on. It was a Kiron 28-105mm Zoom I'll post a screen grab later.

I did try it with a Sigma 24mm f/2.8 and found that best set to the middle of the infinity symbol.

I'm glad I'm not trying to find a 28mm that's sharp at the edge of FULL FRAME 35mm
