Two things:
First, the post you allude to is spam, and will be removed as soon as the moderators see it.
Second, the moderators have to be careful that things said on the list do not lay the owners of the list open to charges of publishing libel. Whilst I do not think that you (or I!) had crossed that line, nonetheless there was a danger that the line would have been crossed by somebody at some point.

If you are handy, rig up a simple clamp for the slide, find a nice even light source, then use a macro lens on the camera.
Don will probably knock up something suitable if you ask him nicely.

It is as though the plane of focus is highly convex.

300mm is indeed very long, but for photographing birds, as we tried to do yesterday, it is nowhere near long enough.
We are now looking at 2x converters so we can try 600mm (900mm equivalent) to see if that is good enough.
If not, we're going to have to be a bit closer...

You can use the camera in any mode, but you can only use a lens without an aperture ring (SMC Pentax-FAJ), or with an aperture ring that can be set to A, and it must BE set to A.
It sounds as though you have bought the wrong camera. The following impose these restrictions, and should be avoided if you want to use non-A lenses.:
MZ30
MZ50
MZ60

Well folks, I placed the order with B&H today!
Of course, the world being as it is, I could not get everything my heart was set on, but have a K10D and 16-45 en route. Given the investment, I decided to purchase the extended warranties on both (previous experiences on other appliances make this a neccessity!).
I figured it would be better to begin learning with these two and then add a flash, grip, etc, one piece at a time. Oh my goodness, the restraint! I must be growing up
Well, just advance notice to all - potentially vexing noobie questions are appearing on your horizons! Gird your loins and mount the chargers!
Joy
And an observation. Many people regard the grip as a necessity. Many others consider it a waste of money. Don't buy it unless you are sure you really need it. The K10D is quite a big camera, and being female you probably don't have huge hands.
