I have had very mixed experiences with Jessops. Extremely helpful chap in the film section downstairs at the New Oxford Street branch but someone who didn't know a damn thing in the lens section upstairs...
Sounds about right, old duffer who doesn't want to kow about digital gets relegated to 'film developing', meanwhile young sprog with more GCSE's than common sense tries selling lenses to the unwary.

When old duffer retires the store will be lost for exprtise in ALL fields, what then.... oh sorry I forgot canikony will keep them afloat, until the Sony centre down the road starts selling cameras cheaper.

Does anybody who works for Jessops read these posts?
Have we any Jessops employees on the forum?
It seems not, nobody seems able to put me, or anybody else, down for slagging of the current staff or sales policies!

Welcome to the forum and, as Mac says, any 'K' mount lens will fit, and be useable, on all Pentax DSLRs.

I use a mix of M, A and DA lenses on my K110 and K200 bodies. So if you want to buy a DSLR from Pentax the choice is yours.

After all, using 'A' lenses on a digital body is just like using them on your Super-A, without the wait for the film developing.

I see people keep reading these 'manual' things.

Congrat's on the new toy, Michael. I look forward to seeing some shots soon.

Nice one,

Good way to hide colour casts from white balance miss matches. Black and white really suits your subject and enhances the lighting.

I've tried these sort of shots, as you say they don't stay still long enough to focus on the eyes.

Still, good shots, well done
