I don't think a petition about something that has not been decided by someone who has not yet bought anything is really the way to go just now.

Frankly, I doubt that such a petition would have any real affect anyway. Decisions will be made on a business basis.

What lightmeter is that then?

Seriously though an occasional item her and there is not really a problem, as long as it is Pentax related. A mass of threads offering items for sale would be unreasonable.

I quote from the new Magic Lantern Guide on the K100D/K110D:

"...two CR-V3, four Lithium AA batteries, or four AA rechargeable NiMH batteries. Due to their voltage characteristics, oxyride and rechargeable CR-V3 are not recommended, because they can cause the camera to malfunction."

The cameras are shipped with Alkaline cells that are 1.5v so I wouldn't worry as long as you are within the guidlines given above.

Works a treat - Is it the general consensus that it's best to get one adapter for each lens so save wear on the adapter?
I would think that it would be much more convenient.

This book dropped through my letter box this morning from www.amazon.co.uk

Pentax K100D/K110D by Joe Farace. Lark Books, New York, 2007. 208pp. Also some push-out laminated Quick Reference Wallet Cards.

It's a typical guide to the cameras, similar to the Hove ones, and the first one that I've actually seen get to publication on the new pentax DSLRs.

Might be useful if you need more info about your new camera than the instruction manual can offer.

Was browsing through the K-mount listings and came across this:

What a waste of money...
Would we dare to use it if we had one? And if not, what is it for? A very expensive paperweight?

My lens is manual focus, and 20 years old. So it's not worth as much as
a new one.
True, but the quality will be just as good as a new one.
