There are some interesting lenses there. The sooner they arrive the better.

I was discussing this with a PCSO and was told that parking on the pavement is not an offence unless and until you cause an obstruction and refuse to move when requested to. Just causing an obstruction is not enough on its own.
However, you are clearly over the area where there are clear double yellow lines and I presume that is why you were given a ticket. A couple of feet back and there should have been no problem.

I always much preferred the SMC Pentax-M 20mm f4. Sharper and more compact.

21mm ltd being a 10 (on a scale of 1-10), what's a worthy, more economical alternative for those of us who cannot afford the limited series?

How about the SMC Pentax-DA 16-45mm f4?
It's in your price range and is an exceptional lens.

I agree, card readers can be troublesome, so it's worth checking out a rerplacement reader (minimal cost) before returning a camera (large inconvenience cost even if under warranty).

If power is interrupted during transfer there is a risk of the data on the card being corrupted and even the card becoming unusable.
I have seen people getting away with it, but it's definitely a risk and not recommended.

A card reader does not require the camera to be attached to the computer with the risk of batteries expiring during transfer, which could be a disaster. In addition, multiple cards can be transferred more easily without messing around swapping them in the camera. The card reader is always attached and available.
The transfer speed may well be higher as well.
What OS are you using? Drivers for card readers can be downloaded from the web if needed.
