Gwyn , So sorry . Until we lived here we had never had dogs ,not the right life stile , long working hours for both of us. Earning a living paying a mortgage you know the story. And now our lives are very different , Dogs are remarkable at getting under your skin and becoming very important and such a pleasure and well.. joy .. mourn her passing and then get another ..Jeff

Hi ,do the two pentacons, that I got with a proper Pentax adapter 15or 20years ago in Lancaster for I think 15 quid count? I was'nt very impressed with them then, but I think that was operator error mostly. Any tips to get the most out of these? ... Jeff
