Screw drive is still available in the K-5. I believe in order to maintain their famous backward compatibility it will still be available in new Pentax bodies.
The new lenses however, with the exception of the limiteds, will be either SDM or DC instead of screw drive.

I see that Hockney now paints on his iPhone and iPad. Still art, just a different medium.
There are a few photographers who are artists, but there are a heck of a lot more who aren't .

Studs and chains are only allowed if there is sufficient snow/ice for the studs/chains not to damage the road surface.
That means quite a bit of snow. And as I said as soon as you get onto a cleared road they are illegal since they will damage the road surface.

A long way to my nearest Morrisons .
My Kangoo was horrible in the snow last winter, even with winter tyres on. Even my husband struggled with it.
The Prius however, on normal tyres, was wonderful.
I can't wait to get rid of the Kangoo, what a mistake that was.
Still I have to hang on to it until he retires and we have to buy one decent car between us.

Yes after I wrote that I thought of Dartmoor, and the Yorkshire moors, and northern/western Scotland, and quite a few other spots.
teach me to write before I think .
Chains make more sense than studs - easier to get on and off .

Japan is expensive! I don't know you'll find many bargains there even with the lousy Yen at the moment.
Lots of different coloured K-x and K-rs are available there which aren't out elsewhere, as is the "Lego" compact.
Look around, but do your sums and be aware of how much things cost back home.
Take lots of photos is the best advice I can give .

The cloud thing works on La Palma too. Taken at the Roque de los Muchachos, just above the La Palma observatories, looking down the Caldera to Teide in the distance.

They still had the snow poles out when we were there - a week before it had been closed due to the snow.
