Looks interesting.

One image deleted as it was shot on a Nikon. Please submit Pentax images only. Many thanks!

I'm not sure when that was dated, but I'm pretty sure it was changed later.

Sorry to disagree, but if you in any event try what I've suggested it is the most efficient way to use the Pentax Adapter K.

What is the other method that you have read?

I have my eyes on the new 150-450mm, so that and my exisiting 43mm, 50mm and 100mm lenses. Some more would need adding if I went down that route.

Using the Pentax Adapter K, the correct technique is to screw the adapter to a lens. Then attach that lens to the camera. To remove the lens, simply unscrew it and then screw in another lens as required. In other words, the K-3 will have been changed into a screw mount body.

When you want to go back to using bayonet lenses, use a small screwdriver to depress the spring catch in the adapter, hold the camera face down as you rotate the adapter which will then simply fall out, to be deftly caught by yourself or to fall upon the surface below.

Hope that helps!

Is it the Gallery on the Ricoh website, which is not the same thing as PPG?

It's not been a magazine owned by Pentax ever Bill. I can't tell you the ins and outs of contracts, but as I understand it probably approval was given to do it, but the publishers have always been independent. Cox Associates had it for a long time and used it to promote their guided photo trips and then Peter Bargh took it and improved it immensely in my opinion.

So it's not been produced at the behest of Pentax and what's been in it has been independent. Pentax used to include info on Pentax User in the camera boxes supplied in the UK, but then stopped doing it at some point.

Taking the last point Bill, this forum has no connection with Ricoh as such - it's produced by Magezine Publishing. The genesis of why and how it's here stems from the Pentax User Club. although many will have forgotten or never known how it came about. So loyalty to Pentax/Ricoh or forums are two entirely different things.

Yes, there was a Pentax person on here briefly, who didn't get a particularly warm welcome from some I'm afraid, but that has nothing to do with the current ownership situation and happened in a different, unconnected era of Pentax's history.

The questions remain unanswered, but Nik has done what she can I'm sure to expedite the response.

The PPG is also unconnected to Pentax User. I stopped posting, ironically for technical reasons, because it was too much of a bind to resize yet another set of images just for PPG. I didn't have time.

Hope that all helps!

Wasn't that edited by the ubiquitous David Kilpatrick?
