That said, the horrors which are passed off as British bread and cheese in French supermarkets always seem to be a cunning plot by their permanently grumpy farmers to discredit our produce!
The stuff we get sold here is, by and large, imported, tasteless and out of (our) season!

Visit any farmers market and you get superb food, visit a supermarket and get bland, rest of the world seconds!

Even our best imported wine is the stuff left over!

As for that fraud called Champagne...

Film camera?

I have too many!! LINK

For my money, if you want full manual it has to be a MX, for auto focus my favorite is the MZ-6.

But there's a lot more to choose from. As mentioned the P30 series are solid little manual bodies that can talk to 'A'series lenses, the SF and Zs are big in comparison, but that was when they were built.

You pays your money and makes your choice!

Alan, is this very different to the Pellicle mirror Canon had in there EOS RT over 20 years ago?
Yes.

I was just asking the question as there are plenty of K mount lenses out there made by a host (well 2 or 3) of manufacturers.

If Ricoh produced this adaptor how would it effect the DSLR market for Pentax bodies?

That looks remarkably like my Zenith 12XP with a 'Pentax' badge stuck on it.

Is this what will happen ffrom Ricoh allowing K mount use?

Does it signal the end of th Pentax body as we know it.

Thoughts and discussion please.

Beer is more of a problem than say Port or red wine. Red meat and seafood also contribute to the chances of getting gout.
You are at greater risk of kidney stones if you have gout, and vice versa.
Oh Bu****!!

The *ist is a model I've never had and, as a collector would like to try.

Thanks for the timely warning that parts are no longer available John and commiseration on the passing of your camera.
