The Free version of MiniTool Partition Wizard will clone/copy the hard disk easily.
Excellent piece of software.

Your old disk is probably IDE so you need to copy it from your old computer to a new SATA drive. Not straightforward because of the different drive types You might need to use a USB caddy to make it work.

EDIT: On 2nd thoughts forget it. A 10 year old install of Windows isn't going to be easy to set up on a new PC. Start with a FRESH install on the new PC and either use Freeware or buy LR.

Very rare lens and expensive in it's day. I've got the f/4.5 version purely for nostalgic reasons because the M42 version was the first zoom I ever bought for a Spotmatic. The M42 f/4.5 version cost around £2,800 in today's money in 1970.

The f/4.5 is a good performer and I would imagine the f/3.5 to be even better. Ebay's the only place to give any indication of value. I would imagine £120 upwards.

Quite long lenses by today's standards.

Thanks for all the info folks. I think the answer came earlier today with a price hike on the K1 to just shy of £2k. Crazy when I could have bought one last week for £1599. It was waiting for the insurance that stuffed me. £400 for a K5, K3, 2 batteries , an 18-55 and 3 s d cards. So much for travel insurance.
Still £1799 in a number of shops. Easter weekend deals coming?
Isn't that against the law . I seem to remember that they couldn't promote a price reduction until the higher price had existed for 30 days (or was it 6 months? )

That's very cheeky of PC World having a link to "Ask an owner". I wonder if they obtain permission first or just grab a buyers details from sales records

Privacy has almost disappeared
