Amazing that it's for sale before any official announcement.

It looks very good. Also it's an indication that Pentax is going to be an enthusiasts' brand as it is a very expensive entry level model indeed (if that is what it is going to be). I thought Pentax got it bang on strategy wise with the Kx.

I've upgraded. I like the classifieds site here. You can buy and sell lenses with confidence and without ebay fees so that's got to be worth a tenner.

It reminds me of the difference between a nice retro Dualit toaster and a functional Morphy Richards. There can be no difference in crunchiness of the final result, but there is a certain extra pleasure when spreading the marmalade.

I would buy a B&W only digital camera as a street shooter, but it would have to be retro. And I would have won the lottery.

I already have a Dualit toaster, one of those wedding presents when you can't think of anything you really need.

I'm still unconvinced by the toasted sandwich holder as vertically toasting a sandwich basically is a flawed design for obvious reasons. The extra large slot comes in useful though for extra chunky toast.

Bonjour Clover et bienvenue sur le forum.

If money is an issue then I don't see much reason to hang on to two options at more or less the same focal length. Personally I'd sell the 40 and 70. You may want to wait though until the recent price rises affecting the UK have also filtered through to France as this will increase the value of secondhand lenses.

Good to see a topic generating a bit of discussion for a change.

My advice, if you're one of the many Pentaxians who have a manual focus lens, put it on your camera and take a photo in your garden, find a baby, that king of thing. If it's too much, just wait for a week and there will be another competition, who knows, maybe we can have a week hunting round Worcester.

Bump, almost last call on this.

£10 is daylight robbery for a lens. How about this rare gem for 5p.

Bit baffled by some of those.

Thanks

I think you are probably right. At some point I did accidentally change the colour space. They look fine to me but I am highly colour blind and I am a serial desaturator, probably for that reason. So anyone looking at these images can regard them as the minimum which the lens is capable of. More reason to buy one.
