Do you mean the mode dial which is on the top of the camera (P/Tv/Av/M etc.) or the Quick Dial thingy which is on the front of the camera??

Steve
Sorry, I meant the quick dial.

I keep trying without success to set up the mode dial, after several attempts at trying to understand the manual I went online and thought I'd found some clearer instructions on Pentax Forums which only seem to half work.

I set B&W, High Contrast and Aspect Ratio 1:1, and saved to User 1 then checked it was OK, I then set Reversal Film, Toy Camera and Aspect 4:3 and saved to User 2 only to find User 1 had reverted back to 4:3 Aspect Ratio but retained the other two settings.

I've tried several times with random settings but all with the same results, changing the aspect ratio of any user setting changes them all to the same.

I'd be interested in the 06 depending on price

There's always ebay and car boot sales, anything that wont sell you simply load the car up and take it to a charity shop, anything else just wait for 5th November

There a several mirrorless cameras with adaptors available to take Pentax Lenses, which raises an interesting question, would you be able to share picures on this forum if they were taken on another camera but with a Pentax lens

As for the Q, having just aquired one myself I have to say lovely little camera, you don't even know you have it round your neck, pain in the ass seeing the LCD in bright light though. Can't wait for my cheapo third party adaptor to arrive so I can try my 50-135 DA* on it.

As for Q lenses, the 5-15mm seems readilly available but the 15-45 is like rocking horse dung, unless your prepared to order from Japan and stump up the import duty.

It's possible the brand will survive. after all Pentax Survived the takeover by Hoya and Ricoh.

I usually get a bottle of Talisker from my son but his contract ended just before lockdown and he's been unable to find anything else, I also get one for my birthday earlier in the month but that never materialized either

Hopefully he'll be gainfully employed by Christmas and I'll end up with three
