Thanks for the link, I'll download and play.
Hopefully the programme will see my K200 as a K10 and let me have some fun.

That explains a lot of things, although I've never had to claim on a Pentax warranty.
Sony, yes. Samsung, yes, but both were eventually sorted.
Still think it's just an excuse to mess with people's heads though.

Where can the latest version of PRA be obtained?
Has it appeared on a Pentax site yet?
I would like to play using my K200 and laptop, problem is older versions don't see the camera, only my K110.

I've been looking at these on line with a view to using one as a 'pocket' camera.
I'd be swayed towards the smaller count, but I would only be printing A4 at max!

Good luck, I've used it on several occasions with good results.ok cheers guys, the k200 has it, not used it but might muck abot with it.
When using it keep an eye on your focus indicators, the red square in the centre and green hexagon below don't always agree! but the shots still work.
Oh and scottthehat , could you fill in your location please?

It's not the cleanest Spotmatic but I bought it to go with my Zeiss lens, it didn't have one and the price was right.
Just for comparison here's a shot of the oldest and newest, in age, cameras in my growing collection.
The new K200d is the same size but heavier than the 1960s Spotmatic.
