I would rather not dump these two non pentax batteries in the skip as they work and that would be a waste of resources.
£10 is not a bad price when you consider the postage is almost £2

I have been given a short helicopter flight as a birthday present.

Is it worth trying to take photos whilst in the air or will the 'window' give a distortation?

If it is worthwhile what lens and what settings would you suggest?

for having the old magazines being available online. It was great doing some research last night into film and film cameras. There was a great history of cameras from John Riley and good techniques from Roy Hampson. The wife said it kept me quiet for hours...little does she know what I am plotting


A happy Dave

look out in the forum clasifieds you could get a very good quality camera to start you off at a very reasonable price.

I new it - all the cameras that Pentax ever produced are ideal in one way or another. I moved straight from an Olympus OM2 to a 1st DS so i missed all the developments in between.

I am currently thinking Super A or Z-1 but that will probably change. It seems that I need to spend betwen £60 - £100 fo the body but at least i get 6 months warranty with SRS or Ffordes.

Are batteries easy to come by?

If you have K10/20/5 or 7.... then there is only one (maybe 2) option...

the Z-1 (Z-1p) - it's not too large
Why do you suggest this one?
