Andrew is right, time moves on and the older cameras won't last for ever. I loved using the *istDS and the K10D, but today they are slow and don't have many of the features that the newer models do.

IMHO the K20D is a significantly better camera than the K10D. I still use one for studio shots.

I would just send it back until you're happy. If the lenses looked as though they were ex-demo I'd go for a refund.

A report has been put in about this, as the change isn't saving. It will get fixed soon I'm sure.

I've just done a scan of the entries and so far just one image has been removed as it was shot in the wrong month.

So a reminder that only images shot in November 2014 are eligible for entry in this monthly competition, but it's getting better!

Please keep Classified Ads to the buying and selling process. Comments on the pricing could be helpful by PM, but not in the open forum. Many thanks.

Am I right to assume from what you said that the later models were already macro enabled at the longest zoom end, you just had to focus without any switch? And would they therefore also focus at longer distances of needed ?

The focusing of FA and later lenses is continuous from the closed setting to infinity, which is much simpler.

Even better are the Pentax compacts that switch to the macro setting automatically. Compacts are brilliant for very close shooting.

Cheap? Maybe, but never nasty, the 18-55mm lens can acquit itself very well.

You should have a great time with the K-3, so have fun and enjoy the forum too!

A thoughtful set Bill, well composed. Trees are a great subject, as also the mass of wildlife that lives on, in and around them.

A very nice set, more to do with the skills of the photographer than the lens. However, it's a sharp little lens no doubt about that. The only think I don't like about it is that a macro setting needs to be engaged to get really close. I much prefer the continuous focusing of the FA and later lenses.

The Q and Q10 share the same small sensor. The Q7 and Q-S1 have the slightly larger sensor like the MX-1.

All give very nice results though and I've even made very acceptable A3 prints from both sensor sizes.
