The Photozone test shows Excellent in the centre for all
apertures...... I still think it's a focus error? DOF would
compensate at f/4 onwards link

Edit:
Also Excellent on this test link

That's what it looks like to me.
Don't forget Spectacles from Specsavers with lenses named Pentax

I wonder if Ricoh know that Specsavers can put the Pentax name on their lenses

The compacts are Sanyo and Casio

Everything else has the Virgin Logo on it

I've got a Tamron AF 28-90mm that I bought about the same time as a Pentax Z1-P It hadn't any aperture scale or distance markings so they were not needed on the later film cameras.

The MTF figures do look very odd. Could it be a focus error?

The lens went for buttons!! I've never seen a 90-105mm go for about £50 before. The Cosina f/3.5's come close.

Just like the Lottery the Numbers always look so obvious
the day after!

Lets hope that under Ricoh certain lens manufactures are able
to release more of their "Goodies" in Pentax fit!

Would be nice to see a comparison test, even the Mk 1 is quite good

Cold Cathode bulbs are a lot better and cooler, but harder to find. They last a lot longer as well. Not new technology either Ansel Adams used a Cold Cathode Enlarger. Some bulb info link

I was thinking more of the Cloverleaf style Inns where 70% of the takings is from food, they don't really cater for drinkers/smokers link

I was trying to find a picture of one, but they don't seem to bother with the web. This one link just has a few small outdoor canopies and no doubt heating under the table (or maybe not on that one). Some of them have massive tables and canopies outside and huge heaters, probably sit 8-10 people round a table.

I can't understand why someone would ban light bulbs before banning heaters outdoors Some eat out pubs have massive outdoor tables with huge heaters underneath so the the diners don't feel too cold
