I've just had a look and the oldest issue on my shelf is July/August 1981. Since Peter Bargh took over though there was IMHO a huge leap in quality of both content and design.

It looks like my PU copies will have to sit alongside my other favourite - the Jack Schofield edited issues of Photo Technique.

Relisting and describing any faults correctly would be OK, let's not jump to conclusions before it happens!

Yes it is a shame and I for one will miss the magazine. I have been a subscriber for a very, very long time.

As noted by Gwyn and ISO there will be some issues to iron out, but I'm sure all will unfold in due course. In any event, we have one final issue to look forward to!

Nice to see someone joining in with an alternative picture!

I do like shooting flower pictures and I can spend a long time "browsing" and shooting in a garden. Monet's was a delight, but then Giverny is a delightful village anyway.

Pentax User is independent of Pentax and there's nothing to stop anyone asking questions. It can be difficult to get answers to somethings from any company, either because you end up talking to the wrong person, or maybe the one who knows for sure is actually in Japan...

Here's a thought - what do other marques with CMOS sensors do? If they all have NR permanently on then we have the inklings of an answer anyway.

I've suggested my opinion, so I won't repeat it, so see if anyone agrees with me elsewhere. We don't have the answers to all things at our fingere tips, although probably we have a pretty good idea.

Have you e-mailed Pentax to ask the question?

Welcome to the forum, and delighted to hear you are getting on well with your Pentax X90!

Yes, it's compatible. All Pentax AF lenses can be used on all the Digital SLRs. The series letters are F, FA, FA-J, D-FA and DA.

Most manual focus lenses can as well, but for ease of use it's best if they have an "A" setting on the aperture ring. These are the A series.

Lenses prior to that can be used with restrictions.

The SMC Pentax-DA 18-250mm is a surprisingly good lens. It also focuses nice and close.

The only drawback is the f6.3 maximum aperture at the long end.

Here goes the thread for comments, and I've kicked off the competition as well.

Don't forget to be sensitive to the audience PU is pitched at, and use of the correct categories will help ensure that filters will work for people.

Hello and welcome!

Sounds like a faulty camera, but try another card first just in case it's a faulty card. Always format the card in camera before first use, and every time afterwards that you clear the card.

Hope that helps!
