Sounds like it's snooze time!

Let's please get back to the point. This is not helping any understanding of either the OP's question or indeed any other matters.


Now I'll put my thinking cap on and we'll get a new weekly competition under way. Let's think positively and take the photography forwards.

Several people, including me, have bent over backwards to help. Nobody is helping by grumbling about things that haven't happened, it just rubs it in and maybe some are not thinking how embarrassing this might be to their fellow members.

Just to take up a point raised by Mr S, and speaking personally, I only use and advocate the use of Pentax lenses and accessories, apart from where something isn't available via that route.

However, this is backed by logical argument and for Nikon users I recommend the use of Nikon lenses and accessories. And so on.....

I've tried them all, settled on what I want to use and it's a shame if you get the wrong idea about that. If I could have conveyed the point to my younger self I would have saved a fortune over the years.

That is my position anyway.

It won't be an issue for long by the looks of things. Does it matter? Not really, but from an historical point of view the continuity of using Pentax for DSLRs does seem sensible.

New users won't care at all of course.

In the meantime, some of us are shooting images....

No, they equate to the 35mm lengths and fields of view. The actual lens on the GR is 18.3mm, equating to 28mm in 35mm format.

It does actually say that on the page you've linked to.

The views have been fully exchanged, and indeed repeated here in this thread. You guys are complaining about something that hasn't happened.

Algi has been asked to stop repeating himself, he's already stated his point of view. Repeating something ad nauseam and derailing a thread with it doesn't make it right and causes arguments, which is clear to see.

There's a train station at the NEC if that helps, but I'm not sure how well Salisbury is connected.

Algi, you moved the camera. You panned upwards. You've been asked to stop, so stop now please.

No charger or battery does make a difference. How about the other accessories?

There aren't many K-01 cameras on eBay, I was looking the other day, so it's hard to say what the value is. What someone is prepared to pay I suppose, so an eBay auction may be the best thing. The market can then decide?
