I was out and about this morning trying to make the best of the frosty conditions!.........I managed 6 shots with the K20D before the cold took over!....it stopped working at -7!...I went back to the car for 10 mins to warm it up again and it worked fine!,it just wouldn't start up in the cold!

All the more reason to use the cable to download from the camera!.......mine never leaves the K20!......

I'm after a Pentax 1.7x AF converter...I know they are very hard to come by, but is there one out there looking for a new home?............

The percentage drop is nothing at all!.....and is only of benefit to people who have cash to hand!...with people struggling to pay the mortgage and rising fuel bills there wont be much extra spent!.

Something I learned from the radio yesterday!....mortgage is French for "DEATH GRIP!".....how very apt!:

I've always said the 18/55 is a great lens!.....mine performs every bit as well as my 16/45!..........in fact I don't know why I bought it!,,,,oh yes I remember now....I was told on here the 16/45 was far superior!.......
