The easiest camera to get high quality images out of is the DSLR. A modicum of skill is also needed, but if we can't put in the effort we can't expect to reap the rewards.

Compacts, high end or not, do not have the ease of use or versatility.

The latter point about multiple mounts on a camera is a very old idea, but I'll bet the manufacturers wouldn't like that at all. That is, even if technically possible at a realistic price level.

If they are close up lenses, provided they will fit or can be made to fit via a step up/down ring then you could use them.

The FAJ was surprisingly good for flower portraits and other close ups, but the 55-300mm is better.

There are two types of Classified Ads on Pentax User.

The free ones are in the forum.

The paid for ones are in the top menu under Shop>Classified Ads

No catch, the top menu ones were the originals and the free forum service was added later.

I prefer the closer shots, the last one looks like they were a bit of a rabble! A bit like the marginot line, I think the enemy can just go round them and they'd probably trip each other up trying to turn round.

Nice events though and good photo opportunities if we're selective.

I may be mistaken, but I thought I had had A lenses where the focal length was recognised.

I could be wrong, but if I'm remembering correctly then maybe there was an overlap period where updated chips were used. Something similar happened when some late Super Takumar lenses actually had SMC coating.

An A lens has electronic contacts, so it shouldn't ask for the focal length. Some of the cheaper Takumar-A lenses do though.
