Because it's quicker?

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

Pentax have abandonned the power-zoom feature. However, on the K10D they used the power contacts from older power-zoom bodies in order to provide power for the new SDM lenses (the ones with a focus motor in the lens).

Power-zoom lenses can use the power thus provided, but the camera is not capable of giving any instructions to the lens. So, some features will not work.

I can't help with your other question because I never use this feature (multiple exposures). But no doubt someone will be along shortly with the answer.

Wrong place? Moi? How dare you, Sir?

Gartmore,

If you're linking to an HTML page, omit the image tags. Only use them if you are linking to an actual image.

Well done Dirk, and thanks Lilly.

Pentax have, not for the first time, been taken by surprise by the level of demand for their cameras and lenses.

This lens was announced many months ago, and some of us pre-ordered (though we didn't have to pay until delivery).

It's worth the wait. I still haven't used mine as much as I would like to have done, but it's a super lens, and the focussing is excellent.

I think it's quite wrong for shops to take money up-front for things with no definite delivery date.

As Tyr says, try SRS. They hope to get some more in a couple of weeks, and are taking £20.00 deposits.

To me it looks more like a member of the scarab family than the cicada family. Do you have any more pictures?

G

Are you sure? I don't think that picture is conclusive.
