Steve,

It's an interesting fact that one or two of the DA lenses will work with no vignetting on 35mm, and most only have a small amount.

There is no immutable law which says that the next sensor size up from APS-C is 24x36mm. I think it is quite conceivable that a new sensor will appear that bridges the gap between the two, and if so, it would work with the DA lenses.

Just a thought.

Fascinating that they've used gothic-style stone vaulting in a '30s building. It looks much better than the dreary Coventry Cathedral, which I suppose was only about 25 years later.

Is this the '30s building on the top of the hill? It looks much more interesting inside than its prison outhouse style exterior would suggest. I must drop in next time I'm passing.

That's gorgeous, Tony. Fish-eyes photos usually seem a bit gimmicky to me, but this works well.

Many image viewing programs can add text to a photo.

Irfanview is a free program that you can download. It has a batch-processing mode that will enable you to add the date, or any other text you choose, to a batch of photos in one go.

Then print the photos.

Just when I thought my collection was complete. One question: if I buy it, do I have to listen to it?

I wondered why I kept seeing cameras with paper clips sticking out of them. Now I know!

You're a brave man with a steady hand.

I'm not aware of a Pentax group, as such, on Yahoo. However, you may mean the Spotmatic Group:

No.
(Answer to original question)

Why?

First, nobody nowadays is prepared to take the time and trouble and spend the money to do a proper review.

Second, almost all publications (print or internet) make their money from advertising. He who pays the piper calls the tune.
