Where will Pentax be in two years? Same place but probably called "Hoya"!

Pete,

That looks like a 50mm F2.0 to me. If it were a F1.4, it would say 1:1.4 on the front.

A good place to check up on the existence of Pentax lenses is Bojidar Dimitrov's website http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/ who lists just about every lens ever made for the Pentax K mount system.

Pete,

A good place to begin is http://www.photonhead.com/beginners/. I'll often go back and re-read very basic things about aperture, exposure and depth-of-field to ensure that my memory of the concepts hasn't faded with the years passing!

I find it fascinating that you can stick a bunch of photographers in front of the same set of scenes and end up with markedly different images, which proves my contention, I hope, that is's more to do with what the photographer sees than the kit he or she carries.

Well I spent the day hiding behind my beard! Thanks for the nice comments about the Drake's behind.

Went to Twickenham today and rattled off 200 shots through my 70-300 FA-J lens. Good day, and we beat the cheese-eating surrender-monkeys!

Drat and double drat I was trying to get my retaliation in first. Great to meet you all. Sorry that we seem to have misplaced Peter Elgar.

I think goosey is better off moaning at Sandisk - they made the card not Pentax!

I may be wrong, but as far as I recall these devices only work on cassette players where you can disable auto-reverse. Is that still the same?

Doesn't apply to me I use an iTrip with my iPod!
