superb!

Welcome, from another London-based Pentax User.

I still have 2 film cameras Z-1p and P50.

I did see a fix to the K-5 firmware that could render each SDM lens screwdrive compliant...not sure if it would work on the later models...

There is the risk that sending it off to be done could render the lens completely unserviceable.

Using screwdrive lenses is painful, my macro hunts like hell on the K-1, other screwdrive lenses are ok, but prefer to use the 16-50, 60-250 and 300 as they were designed on the K-3 and same with 15-30 (although the FA* lenses are ok).

I suggest repair, depends on whether you want to keep it or not, I guess it will be worth more if SDM functions (but not £150 more)

Takes me back to when I used to live in Ripon.

I was wondering when the subject of Stanley Kubrick and Barry Lyndon would come up - excellent film - Leonard Rossiter was sublime....those candlelight scenes are remarkable

As new K-1 for £924!! Good job I already have the 15-30 as I would've snapped the 20-35 straight away

Have they started dealing with Pentax? Last I saw they did not.

Mind you I have used them with no complaint (yet!).

so why buy the K-7?

Have K-1
Have FA* 85 1.4

Want Bernese....

lovely capture
