milamber, no, I hadn't even given it a thought. I didn't know it worked that way. Many thanks.
geordie01, Instructions noted and written down. Just as the clouds came over and the rain started. Yipee! Thank you, gentlemen.

I would like to 'do startrails'.However, after reading the K-r manual[p.147 and p.113] I find that confusion reigns. The 'bulb' method seemed the easiest way but the last instruction, #3 on p.113 states that the shutter will remain open as long as the release button is kept pressed.

I have the O-RC1 remote release. Instructions are minimal and there does not appear to be any way to keep the shutter open for the thirty minutes or so that I have read, is required to take said photographs.

Is there anyone out there that has the knowledge, I'm sure that there is, that I require? Please remember that I do not understand all the 'jargon' that is in the manual or on the internet. None of it takes into account that some people may not be conversant with such language. I need simple step by step instructions, if it is possible, please.

Pentax K-r dslr. Lenses are 18-55mm and 50-200mm. Having used only a fixed lense previously, I am now wondering whether there is a general rule of thumb for the use of the two lenses. When is it best to use the 18-55mm and when to use the 50-200mm lense? Kind regards.

It is a play on words. The correct phrase is. 'I resent that remark.' Used to object to something someone has said about you.

However, especially where I live it has been altered to make a joke out of ones embarrassment. Hence, 'I resemble that remark.'

sterretje. I resemble that remark! Thanks for the information, muchly appreciated. I have printed out the list.

Please, someone put me out of my torment. What do all of the above initials stand for? If this has been asked a million times before, slap my legs and call me Baldrick!

This has to be a worldwide first. A 'Manc' thanking a 'Scouser' LOL!!!

Kind regards, Gedski.

As a buyer of the K-r only last week, I emailed Pentax voicing my concerns about the K-r being discontinued. I received this reply only today.
The K-r is still in production. Even if it were not customers are still covered by Pentax support and warranty.
I hope that this may alleviate the concerns of new buyers of the rather good K-r, like myself.

Thanks chaps, I was wondering if it were possible to permanently weather seal the K-r. Just a thought. Not to worry. I'll chase up your suggestions.

The topic title is self explanatory. Has anyone a definitive and correct answer, please.
