Would have loved t see that Minolta would have embraced the mount for their digital cameras but sadly they didn't.

I've always been a little confused about colour blindness and traffic lights - surely they can just aim for the bulb that's lit?

Will, I don't think we would see something like that because it sounds very complicated.
What do you mean with MicroDSLR btw?
It would indeed be a fun idea but complicated, just an extention tube/adapter would be better I think since that would make the camera smaller and lighter.

I've already said my thing and there is little to discuss about more.

Most simplest is right click and then properties with windows machines, you get the basic data, don't know about Mac but I would be surprised you can't do it.
There are also several plug-ins for browsers and programs.
www.photome.de is one of those programs and it's free.
I know I said something differently but that's what I meant
With the long run I mean that they can make faster lenses and smaller cameras that can compete with the mirrorless cameras for a longer period of time then when they hold onto the K-mount.

Pentax using a new mount when the Pentax K mount was designed so well in the first place would be crazy. It's proved itself over 35 years and has been up to being developed further as the electroics have taken over.
The K mount is wide enough to design 50mm f1.2 lenses, so I reckon it's good for a while yet.
Pentax already have said they don't have ambition to go 135 format so why hold on to a mount that isn't optimized for the sensor size they are using?
The standard lens for the APS-C is 35mm but it would be extremely hard to make that a f/1.2 for the K-mount if it can be done and you have the problem that the dof is greater at that range so actually you need an f/1 to get the same effect.
If Pentax did design a smaller format for mirrorless cameras and needed a special small mount for them, my bet is that they would from the start design an appropriate K adapter to go with it. This would be possible if the design was a radical rethink especially.

I have no idea how it applies in the Netherlands - here in the UK its just a form of ID, it doesn't grant you any special freedom - it might assist in getting you past various checkpoints into certain buildings but it won't stop you getting arrested if the plod taking a dislike to you...
There is no "official" press card, as far as I am aware, but organisations such as the National Union of Journalists in the UK, news organisations and various freelance bodies provide them. A "student" press card is a contradiction in terms. I would be very wary of paying anyone €60 a year or any other significant sum for one. Sounds like a scam. You'd be as well designing and printing one yourself.
You can also get a police card and with that you can go to riots and go past some police barricades for example.
Like Mongoose says there is a student rate to sign up.
Just looked up the price and it's €5,50 a month and you get legal help with that if needed and I can take the fee off of my income for tax related things.
Does that sound better?
