Your local branch of Snappy Snaps will probably do as good a job as anyone - I've had better results from my branch than many of the so-called "professional" labs with whom I've had very mixed (and expensive!) results.

Good luck! It seems the few Pentaxians who jump ship to Nikon all want D300's so you may struggle selling that lot on here. Still, once you've got the K20D it'll all seem worth it...

I've not heard or read a bad word about the Pentax DA*50-135, a little more expensive but a stupendous lens by all accounts!

Hi Susan, welcome to the forum. When you plug your camera into your PC and switch it on it should appear (in Windows Explorer etc) as another removeable drive. You can navigate to this drive and drag/drop the image files to your hard drive just as if you were moving files between any other folders. Once they're on your hard drive you can open them in Picasa or any other image editor you choose.

Good luck!

I'd never owned an AF camera until my first digicam (a Kodak back in 99) so I can't help much there. I've noticed on here over time that the Z1 does seem to have quite a few supporters though, if I was looking for an AF film camera it would probably be my first port of call.

Easy DIY fix for that - go to the last paragraph on this page and follow the simple instruction. Hey presto, you have a functioning MX once more!

As for the original question, I'd love to say that I use all my cameras equally but that's not proving to be true. If it's digital then it's the K10D, if it's film then it's the MX. Sometimes the Contax gets a look in when I need something to slip in the pocket but I'm ashamed to say my Leica hasn't seen a film in 2 years and my Rollei has only had one roll since it came back from a service 18 months ago. I've got plenty of cameras but once I find one I like I tend to stick to it pretty exclusively...

Excellent shots! Pretty safe to say you didn't get any light leaks then?

And the MX complements the bike quite nicely!

The problem I had only came up once, it confused me greatly but once the flash went back to P-TTL it's stayed there since. I'd probably take Matt's advice above if I were you and get the flash replaced if it's still under warranty - sounds like some sort of electronic glitch which is unlikely to be anything you can fix yourself. Sorry!

I had the same problem once with my AF360 + K10D, couldn't figure it out at all, switched camera and flash on and off, removed batteries etc - nothing worked. Then (after many failed experiments) I tried putting the flash into SB mode and firing off a couple of shots. Hey presto! Something must have reminded the flash that the camera was P-TTL rather than TTL because the option came back into the flash menus. I have no idea why this worked but it did and I've not had the problem again since...

I always refer to mine as "that bit of Tupperware" if that helps..?
