Hi.
Pentax DS ist....... This may be a silly question....does this camera uses software program for downloading images to a computer,or any software for day to day use,( the sort what is thrown in for free ) if so is it Mac Compatable. i have read loads of specs and nothing is mentioned.
Thanks
Gordon

I have got a Tamron lens (90mm Macro 2. this also has the old Pentax K Mount Adaptall 2 adaptor, is this adaptor ok to use on the MZ7 SLR i don,t know if this would cause any problems between the two, i believe i am right in thinking it will only work in Manual exposure and Aperture prority only and of cause manual focus. any advice gratfully recieved.

Once again thanks,regarding other makes, i will stick to what i own now which is my 28-80 pentax (came with body) and my Sigma 70-300 macro super which is brilliant in all aspects, and my newly aquired Tamron SP 90mm macro, thanks for that email Kimbo, a very interesting set of lens. the trouble with our hobby is that there are always things we need, (new lens) but i suppose we must learn to make do with what we have . Thanks

Thanks every for the the replies, a am glad to read it will most prob work on my MZ7 but only in certain modes, you do hear a lot of stories where the manufactor say lens become stuck and won,t come off again but i guess they say this to get you to buy the makers lens instead of the independents, now i will get the adaptor and try my hand at close up, thanks again

Hi
I have been given a fairly old Tamron SP lens its a 90mm Tele Macro F 2.5, i intend to use it on my old Pentax MV bu have been told it is incompatable with my MZ7 (Or is it compatable), i beleive the lens to be aleast 20 yrs old but is in perfect condition (never used) i know i have to get a Adaptor for this which is no prob, but my MV is aperture priority, so do i leave the lens aperture set on AE or do i use it like my normal M series lens and just turn the aperture ring until the green light comes on, anybody tell me where i can get a cheap K Mount Adatall 2 for this lens, at the moment its a Canon Mount any help gratfully recieved.

Thanks for that John, With regards to the,well what seems to be the standard size for Exhibition i do agree there but my Local society has now introduced a new class for the annual exhibition for panoramics and for them only them mount can be larger...but saying that the panoramics do really look good, no i will say brilliant. thanks again .

Not sure where to post this so here we go,
i own a HP Deskjet 960c printer, photoshop 5.5, and Windows 98SE, can anybody please tell me how or whether i can print panoramic prints,(8"x 22") or there abouts on this new Epson Panoramic paper, i have been told "yes" it can be done but it all seems rather tedious. can it be done or not i have tried all differant ways but all stop at A4 size, its a shame really because the Panoramics i do all seem to fit A4 but i want bigger, any hints or tips, or how to do it gratfully recieved.
