I don't get any of these pop-ups, maybe it depends on the browser.

I think those are really good.

The downside of the web is that we read about all the faults with everything, virtually instantly. Some are faults, some are user error, who knows...it all comes out eventually.

The K-r is a splendid camera, so why worry if it's discontinued soon or not? You are lucky enough to have got one, so I'm sure it will suit you very well if you spend the time to get to know it. Hopefully one day you will be looking fondly at it as an old friend!

28mm was a classic 35mm film focal length, equating to about 42mm on digital. Did you use a 40mm or 45mm lens on film? If you didn't, and were using a 50mm on film then the 35mm lenses are the new standard lens that's an equivalent.

Otherwise, the 31mm is the closest you can get without going to second hand lenses, which is not very good news I guess in terms of cost.

Obviously you have a beef about this Doug, but we're not in the business of telling people what they should and shouldn't do. The guidelines are provided, and Pentax User has no involvement or responsibility in sales. Caveat Emptor.

If the buyer wants to post a picture it may well be that they stand a better chance of selling. If they don't, it's their loss.

Always, caveat emptor. Let the buyer beware. It's just the same as a newspaper classified ad - the poster takes full responisiblity for what they post and the buyer takes full responsibility for how they respond to that.

I'm sure if you drop Ken a PM dougf8 he will be happy to discuss it with you, but not here please, this is a Classified Ad.

Yes, because the images have not been manipulated. It's not good practice to use cards in more than one camera though.

Glasses are a personal thing, but because I use cameras I use monofocal lenses. It may mean two pairs, but it's much easier to use the viewfinder.

2x converter will double the focal length whilst keeping the minimum focus distance the same. It will also lose two stops of light.

Most converters are poor, a few are acceptable, a very few are as expensive as any other lens and are exemplary. I would expect your old zoom and converter to be not a happy combination on digital. I'll also be surprised if the 50-200mm looks good with it.

However, why not give it a whirl and see what happens?

It will work, but it is heavy, bulky and won't be the same optical quality as a modern zoom designed for digital.

It could be sold, but a low price will probably be the end result.
