Some very good shots there but the cygnets are probably my favourites.

I love playing with old lenses on a new camera, but don't be suprised if your old zooms look a bit tired compared to the new ones. Old prime lenses on the other hand tend to be great performers

At a price though - £57.52 + postage!

Shame because I really fancy the new Oly as a pocket carry-everywhere camera and I don't want to spend a fortune on a new set of lenses if I can adapt the Pentax ones. I intend getting the K-7 at some point and two systems could be expensive...

Try the nearest distributer to you on this page: link

And if that doesn't work then contact Pentax Japan directly.

You seem to have got the hang of panning - very good shots

It's very rare for these to come up for sale but if you contact Pentax directly you may still be able to buy them new. I think that would be your best chance of obtaining one to be honest.

That makes sense - so to use my FA43 on the new Oly I'd need two adapters. Doesn't sound quite as elegant a solution as I'd hoped...

Some really nice old motors there - I'd love the Alpine and that Salmon-Pink Minx parked in my garage.

Any idea why they don't work with Micro Four Thirds? I'm keeping a close eye on the new Oly "Digital Pen" as a potential compact camera and was hoping it may be able to use some of my existing K/M42 glass.

To be fair though, for every "David Bailey" being given freebies to plug a brand there are a thousand unheralded pros slogging away taking shots for Argos catalogues etc who certainly do have to pay for their own kit (or at least their employers do). And I bet a lot of them in the 70's bought Olympus because David Bailey was plugging so hard...
