Welcome to the forum. You did post this twice, so I've removed the other one. Otherwise you will have two confused threads.....

It's a limitation of the system, and even the instruction book warns that exposures may not be accurate.

It's really a matter of the amount of backwards compatibility that can be expected. You can use almost any lens going back over 40 years and some working around is only to be expected.

Other marques do not have the flexibility that Pentax offer, even though it's not perfect.

When you think of the difficulty in circulating information, to change photography from ISO values and magnification would take decades to do. Would it add anything to photography to do it, that was really of value?

There is a native ISO rating for cameras, and I understand that it is ISO200 for Pentax DSLRs. That's the setting I normally use, but not for that reason, simply because on film it seemed a reasonable compromise between quality and making sure hand held shots were sharp.

On digital it seems to also deliver the goods.

A scanner is a useful thing to have, but the easier approach is just to useit to digitise images as you need to, not all at once.

After all, if you had 4000 slides you wouldn't need them as digital images all in one go. The archive copy is already there on film, so just a scan as needed will save the soul destroying task of a mass scanning project.

It's solved from our point of view becaue we have one Vista machine on which the Nikon works just fine. In the future we'll move to the other solutions presented in the thread, so it's not wasted. In fact it now works better than it did on xp. Last time we installed it there was a rather odd "register product to this computer" process, but that seems to have become unnecessary.

Excellent set of images.

Can you not manually enter the settings required? The details are available on the Virgin website.

Good point, thank you, it's off.
