Win8 is quite fast but there are some issues with the usability of the interface - they've tried to design it to compete with the apple ios and google android so its all done with touch screens in mind which is irritating.
You can still just go to the desktop and get a familiar interface though.
I would have som ereservations about a machine running XP being able to handle win 7 or 8 though. Do you know what CPU and memory you have?

There were a few around at £120 not so long ago - Harrisons? something like that

Interesting possibility here - photo competition from Nikon - free entry. Wouldn't it be nice to get some Pentax pictures in there?
Category D pics have to have been taken with a nikon, but the others are open - including medium format.

I think that for an absolute indication of being in focus you need to watch for the green hexagon.

I think I've read that conversion - retaining AF - is possible. Not using an adapter, screwdrivers/soldering iron involved. Problem is I can't remember where I read it - dpreview? and cant find anything useful with google.
Perhaps faulty memory syndrome....
I'm used to using adapters - on my olympus kit I have adapters for all sorts (MF only) C/Y, minolta, rollei, OM, M42, etc.

Anyone know anything about this?
Thinking Yashica 50mm is about £35 rather than Pentax £120....

Please contact me only for the whole lot, don't want to sell individual items as I need a quick sale.
