Kim,

Thanks, I'm pushing a film through it just to see what it can do. Damn! I have to think when I use this camera!

My Uncle (yes, really, this isn't one of those ebay scams!) has just passed to me his Pentax and lenses. Until he mentioned it a month ago I didn't even know he was a Pentax user.

The body is an MX, and the extraordinary lens in the picture is a Jupiter-II 135mm F4




The other lens were much more conventional, an M 50mm F1.7, M 135mm F3.5 and M 75-150 F4. Not sure if I have the courage to try putting the Jupiter on the K10D, but I found a website by someone else who did!

I'm with Matt, I don't need that much stress in my life!

I bought my DS body in the USA and Pentax UK repaired it without question.

I thought those were being aimed at compact cameras and phone cameras where you need versatility in a small package?

Well, you'll be able to tell us all about the weather sealing then!

Not just in stock, but bought and in use by people on this forum (but not me yet)

Might be back out of stock if everyone snapped one up. Try Chris at SRS.

I remember reading somewhere that there is an appeals procedure, which most people can't be bothered to use, and where the parking authorities can't be bothered to defend themselves, so most of the appeals are successful!

No, because when the rucksack is on my back it (the tripod) hangs down more vertically. Anyway, I usually carry the tripod on it's own, over my shoulder with it's own shoulder strap (it is bloody fiddly getting it on and off the 'sac)
