Haven't carried the K5 manual despite the fact that there have been several instances where its presence would have been invaluable!!!

if they still make the fa 50 1.4, and the fa 35 2 why they don't restart production of the fa 20?

How about a Sigma AF 24mm f2.8 ... not a bad lens at all.
I use the FA35 lots and the FA50 less (at a push I could live with 35 & 100 on the K5) but when I want to go wide I currently go for the 18-55WR...
However... I really like the FA28 on my MZ-7... That and the F35-70 are a good duo...
£659.79 quid for any lens (let alone used with no warranty) ain't happening for a while, that's for sure!!!
My upper (VERY-TOP) limit would've been £350

My first stint as a speaker at my camera club.
Did a practical demonstration of lightroom with Q&A. Followed by a presentation of 35 of my wildlife shots.
Seemed to go down very well
I think the club president thought I'd talk about Theatre but I shocked everyone with 5 minutes on the process of good sandwich making...

I would expect to get in the region of £180 to £200 for mine.
Cheers!

It is daunting to start with, but then so is photoshop. With a few tutorials or a good book it is not so bad and certainly a great package for free.
Personally, I find both a little too much (I have elements but rarely use it) and prefer Lightroom... Much easier to use and does most of what I need...
That said there's a learning curve that comes with any new software and like the rest of photography requires some (if not constant) practice...
There's a free open_source version of Lightroom called 'DarkTable' but I believe you'd need to be running a Linux based operating system rather than Windows...
