The bag that would really hit the spot would be one of those briefcase-style metal cases that were around when the Auto 110 was being sold.

The vignetting refers to the use of the polarising filter, doesn't it?

If e-mails are not arriving then do check your spam folder. They may be getting caught in the anti-spam measures applied by your ISP as well, so check any online version of your e-mail. Some ISPs filter out spam before you get to see it and the systems can suddenly decide something that you've been happily receiving is spam.

You can specify that PU is OK in your internet options.

There's probably no particular backroom issue here ISO, just the route your internet is taking to connect to PU.

If I get problems I usually reboot the router. If that fails, rebooting the PC might help.

If the problem persists, then it's best to file a report.

Look to the right of the screen, there's been an article there since I think yesterday. It's under "Latest News and Articles". Hopefully that covers it.

There is that interim screen. It does explain itself by saying we will be sent to the thread and notifications have been reset.

I'm experiencing none of the problems you describe, so maybe it's a local internet issue or an ISP issue. These things do happen from time to time. Sometimes downloading Windows Updates can cause slow running.

You could also try rebooting your router.

Stop it down cbrog and it will be. Wide open if will have other pictorial qualities. It's a matter of the design parameters and users seem to think it's a lens that has some classy capabilities.

It looks like a Pentax Screw fit, 42mm. This is the fitting that Pentax used before the bayonet K mount was introduced in 1975.

It sounds like you'll need to just use it in Aperture Priority. Set the aperture on the lens and the camera should select the shutter speed without any problem at all.

You'll obviously be able to use manual exposure as well should you wish.

It sounds like it will be very similar to using an M or K Pentax lens so you shouldn't have any difficulty other than not being able to use program mode.
