Agreed... I've found the Leeds store staff to be well-read and passionate about photography as well as absolutely customer focused...

I got my Tamron 17-50 from the store in Leeds - They had to order it in for me to try - No obligation to buy - took 2 days to arrive and were happy for me to wander about the shop for a quarter-hour trying it out... And they price matched!
Excellent customer service!

Jessops in Bfd would not even order it in (although they since have a much better manager)...

Fuji have got fairly close with their 'X' series... Technology continues to get smaller... And Pentax have a fairly large back-catalogue of K & M series bodies to experiment with...

I live in hope

I'd like to see a full-featured Pentax DSLR crammed into one of their older film SLR's though...

I love the physical 'look' of the MX (granted a little small) or the K1000-

A classic looking SLR with a 16+megapixel sensor and a 2.5/3 inch screen on the film door?... Yes please

If I was going I'd take the DA15mm and F35-70mm, in a small messenger bag.

I'd take similar for events such as this: F35-70 is a good call - maybe the DA50-200 (very small for the focal length) too... Think I'd leave my primes at home...

I need to get a copy of the MX manual... Learning by playing is fun but oft a tad confuzzling

Thank you John... Asked on the other forum too... Apparently take a normal exposure, tighten the film then hold the crank-arm as you wind-on for second exposure (stopping film from moving) then as you describe...

Gonna be an expensive practice run that's for sure...

I think this'l only affect those wishing to use tri/mono-pods and BIGMA users...
Can't see a dslr user having much of a problem myself...
