Just seen that you can buy a new K20D ?...at Amazon. I never knew they were new ones around.

Price wait for it.....£998.00..wow

advertised in the same section Pentax showing the K7 with a lower price than the K20D.

How about that.....


Have some good thoughts !!

great shot---bwichmawr

re:top opening is that a reflection of glass or the background through the wall.

seems a good technique and a sharp lens.

just trying to come to terms why we use the excuse of old equipment for the lack of patience/knowledge to

nail a shot.If you are into fast movement/sports/wildlife photography then perhaps we should be using the knowledge of our camera i.e the strengths/weakness, work the shot and be satisfied with the way we have controlled the situation.

Failing that we would always be part of the what if !! crowd.

We are suckers for technology from the very moment we bought digital.Marketing divisions know this is our weak-point, hence the 8-10 fps, iso 102000, the different metering/afc etc we are seeing on new products every 12=18 months.

I'm not against a better product which will improve our enjoyment and in that I mean in this case photography,
but to upgrade for the sake of owning something that may have the new bells and whistles not withstanding the extra costs seems a poor way to wards our enjoyment.

I wondered if anyone read an article about a year ago relating to a professional guy when after his death, his relatives
clearing his property found a garage full of golf bags with new clubs. They just could not come to terms why he had all of this equipment until they asked the Club where he played at for the reasons for this unlikely hoard,
their answer was that every time he had a bad day he would blame it on the clubs he was using and bought a new set that he have seen advertised that would improve any golfer's game.

My apologies for the rambling no offence meant!!

I would like to believe the reason we visit and post here is because we use Pentax products and know and enjoy the product,
the strength / weakness and sometimes frustration that goes with our enjoyment.

There are not many forums that are like this one for openness and product loyalty.

seems like he's just seen you trying to get the shot
and he's coming in for the KILL.

I'll go along with Davex .

worthwhile shot. Did you have any thoughts on how you would have nailed the shot:

great to hear about the wolverhampton camera fairs seems an excellent way to view/buy into the older lenses,
thanks for the info Lloydy. I'll pencil it in on the calendar.

The 50mm f/2 seems to be a good lens I guess the fiddly bits go with wanting to explore into the domains of older and from what I can gather sharper lenses.

thanks for the advice Stanovich.
