I do now, was that the problem?

Don't have a K200D so I can't try it out but the manual say it should work like it does with your K20D.

Don't kill the messenger.

Barrie you lost me, you can set the focal length on the K200D
page 69 of the manual to be really precise.
here is the online manual, at page 71 there http://www.pentaximaging.com/files/product/k200dE.pdf

Can't you set the focal length in the menu maybe?

page 67 so RTFM

The in-camera edit gives me the option to tweak exposure after the shot, though it doesn't seem to be a popular technique compared with PC edits.

Simply because it takes more time doing it in the camera and the finall image is less then what you get from the PC, I would just shoot in JPG or RAW+JPG when you want a snapshot.

I believe most RAW converters also detects hot pixels and remove them so it might not be needed at all.

besides that, there is also the Pentax AF360FGZ but that one is missing the swivel head so that can limit you.

It's also more expensive and less powerful than the Metz 48

Don't put the AF360 down so much, it has full P-TTL wireless mode and an auto mode which is useful for manual lenses, all that the Metz 48 is lacking so it comes down to what you need.

Will...nice letter, however how can you, or anyone else explain the huge difference in price between the almost exact same lenses sold by Pentax & by Tokina? The Pentax versions of 16-50 & 50-135 are hugely more than Tokina, who have exactly the same exchange rate issues as Pentax, and presumably are no bigger than Pentax...

The DA*16-50 and DA*50-135 has:
- A dual focus system (screw-drive + SDM = higher development and production cost)
- Weather sealed
- Better coatings
- Pentax name on it (brand lenses are always more expensive then third-party)

The price hike at the end of last year did almost double the price of these lenses though in the UK, why that is I don't know. The same thing happened with the DA12-24.

Hefty had the same thoughts ^^

Barrie what do you want to see what's on the lens?

I don't think it would be a better performer then the Pentax kit lens, not worth the money unless you want to use it on 135 film of course.

I might get a lucky shot over two days but don't count on it....
