Thanks Pete, it's one of those things that should be obvious, but there again...

Jessops don't 'do' Pentax......

...Although they can allegedly "get one if anyone was interested" (Romford branch yesterday)

.....Anyway there are "much better cameras than Pentax at cheaper prices" (Cambridge branch two weeks ago)

......And, "I think we might have one somewhere but not too sure where, normally they are order only" (Chelmsford branch last week)
Not much point in waiting for the closing down sale then, unless you want a top of the range canikony that is.

When I put a manual lens on my K200d it asks me for the focal length. Once the camera knows this it adjusts the shake reduction to suit.

So when I'm using a 2X converter do I tell the camera the lens length, or the lens length X2
That is, 50mm or (50mmX2)=100mm?

Jessops is not a specialist dealer for one make. We expect them to sell all makes.

Pentax is in danger of dying out unless they sell plenty of bulk, and that means it needs to be available in high street chains such as Jessops, and at reasonable prices.

So even if you wouldn't buy a camera from Jessops, you should be concerned if not enough other people are doing so.
Well said Pete.

My first Pentax came from Jessops, they were the only choice at the time, now they just seem a waste of retail space as far as smaller, better quality camera makes are concerned.

The removal of the background guy has altered the shot somewhat, it now really is a study in frustration!

Nice one.

Looks like somebody else took a gamble as well, the item is now finished, I think there were at least 2 on offer.

Is it another forum user? If so their braver than me!
