Must be the famous sample variability - I had an extremely poor 18-55 DA, but I have had instances where lenses have been good on one camera but very poor on another, and not just with Pentax. I am sure the dealer in NY will be fairly obliging, also look at the 18-135 DA, or see if there are good deals on the DA*16-50

Problem might just be the switch....how easy it is to get parts I don't know but I do know some for say the Z-1p are hard to come by now....

I would suggest also looking for a Z-1 or Z-1p with lens, they usually turn up with the FA28-105 PZ rather than the 28-80. Prices usually reasonable. Just like buying an SFX/SFXn to get an SMC-F 28-80 & 70-210....

I send mine to a lab (Peak Imaging - they've never let me down) but at over £10 to get a set of prints done, and with film costing £5 or more now (even FP4/HP5) the economics of prints from film is getting less appealing day by day. So I might just have to use E6 in the film cameras in future if I can get hold of Provia/Velvia inexpensively... I do love using my M645 and Z-1p but I don't have the skills or patience to develop my own film/

Great set of pictures, from a great event. Been a regular there for the past few years and it's getting more and more difficult to get great images because of the scrum on Piazza San Marco.

Pretend you have a Nikon Mike - they are expensive optional extras on some models...
