The M50-1.7 is a cracker but I sold mine in favour of the M50-1.4 (apparently most people would keep the 1.7 version...) I prefer the way the shots look

All the Pentax 28's are good but the 'M' and 'F' versions are apparently better... I've had an A28-2.8 in the past but I sold it on and now have an FA version...

I've got a Vivitar-A 19mm 3.8 that's ok... That said, I'd swap it for an M20-f4 or (even better) an A20-2.8 in a heartbeat... Shame that the prices on them are sky high...

So are my FA primes (28, 35, 50 & DFA100) going to be rubbish on full frame or not then... When used on my MZ-7 they don't appear to have much in the way of 'fall-off' but if a FF sensor is 'unforgiving' is this likely to be the case?

At the price you paid by sending it to Harrow for a clean up you're still quids in!

It's a lovely camera to use imo and the first one I go for (i have a half dozen film cameras) when I fancy a film day!

Get yourself an MX and you'll wish you kept it...

Looking at some recent posts I thought it might be helpful to have a thread (perhaps it could be stick-ied?) pointing to other useful online-photographic resources...

Obviously for British Pentax-Users this website is the place to start... For international Pentax users there is the American site (you should all have found it...) but for non-Pentax related photography questions, queries and tutorials where do we look?

One website I found very useful when looking into filters and their usage was: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/ (Cambridge in Colour) and I found the tutorials there very useful at the time...

So, I've started... What's your 'useful-online-photographic-resource' ?

I've got an educational psychologists report that says I'm severely dyslexic... Specifically defined as suffering from a developmental form of dyslexia.
Essentially, my reading and writing is slow unless I'm reading and writing a lot. I read all the time but if I don't read for say a month the first half of the next book I pick up will take days... The second half will take hours if I just keep at it..

I'm 33, hated (every second of) high school (where my dyslexia was put down to non-conformity) , left with no GCSEs to speak of but graduated with a solid 2:1 in English Literature (BA Hons) last summer...

Keep at it... Do something everyday... Don't let the ba*t**ds grind you down...

K-01 perhaps?

Gives you the option of a fully fledged PKM-LBA with a view to upgrading to a DSLR body later...

I started with a K-x... Was great... Got me hooked... Now have a K5... It's a serious upgrade and deffo worthwhile if you can stump it...
Buying used with a 1 year warranty (from somewhere like SRS) may give you the option of having some funds for a prime lens as well as the kit-18-55 too...

With the lenses you already have it's my opinion that the thing you're missing is not focal length but close-focusing/macro ability...

DA35mm Ltd 2.8 Macro (which will also serve well as a 'normal' walk around or a 100mm macro are still my suggestions...

Absolutely agree.

I also use V4's and both my flashes are fully manual... Lack if P-TTL I'D A non-issue.
