I tried a trial version of Lightroom - couldn't make any sense of it and it just seemed like an expensive glorified organiser that I didn't need.
Lightroom seemed like that for me when I first downloaded it but you learn how to use it very quickly, it does an excellent job as the guys above have pointed out, it's quick to use and I hardly use my Photoshop at all nowadays.

However, seeing lenses from A series onwards can be quite happily used with no problem, and that stretches back some 40+ years
I agree with John. I use several 'M' lenses on my 'older' Pentax K100D Super and they work really well - exposure is excellent and it's certainly no more work taking a shot with these lenses as it was in the old days with aperture rings.

Had a K100d Super fixed by them when my daughter dropped it. The main board was replaced and new top section of body. Repair was excellent with camera looking and working like new. Because Johnsons is local to me there was no delay in posting etc and communication was good - took about 10 days in total.
One thing with the main board being replaced the shutter count went back to zero - something to perhaps bear in mind when buying second hand and the seller quoting a low shutter count.

Yes welcome Pete.
I look forward to new models and new equipment coming out - it means I might be able to afford the older outgoing model if it's being discounted! Talking of older lenses you should see the look on the face of my mate at work (Canon user)when I tell him how old some of my lens are

I'd be surprised if there's nothing with the Sony 24MP sensor in it.
I'm beginning to think that Pentax should have used the 24MP sensor in the K30 - that would have been a shot across the bows of Canikon

Just been reading this thread - just before I started reading I bid on a lens on ebay - current bid is £2.20 with my maximum bid being £2.60! The only time I get close to a ltd lens is in my dreams!

I suspect most of the lads N lass's here have something similar kicking about and don't need this. Maybe ebay?
- think bettyswolloks is right - most people on here will have similar or newer stuff already. For the price you are asking the gear is a bargain and I'm sure some one (if sold maybe in your local paper etc) would snap your hand off. Or of course the dreaded ebay - it's not that bad really - I've sold a few items on there and I'm sure you would get a better price.
