Perhaps it would be better if their 'find a dealer' page said that!

Maybe so, but we know here where to look. Perhaps someone could usefully drop a line to the website and tell them that there are some things that need attantion and what, specifically, these are. IMHO that would be useful and constructive.

I think I'd direct you to SRS or Park Cameras, to name but two, where there is everything Pentax at excellent prices.

As long as we can get supplies of what we want, for now I don't see this as a problem. No doubt in due course the new company will address whatever shortcomings there are.

There's a process that has to unfold and there are time scales to it once you involve PayPal.

The Praktica is not well engineered compared to Pentax, so I really think that the choice is clear. Also, the shutter releases are quite poor so again if you want something that is slick to operate then the Pentax Spotmatics seem the best option, by a long margin.

As nothing actually happened, and there was no attempt to interfere with what the OP was doing, there's no need to get steamed up or take any action. No good would come of it I'm sure.

If you do that you will be artificially altering the relationship between the RGB cnannels and you may well not get what you expect. There are reasons for looking at three channels separately, but generally looking at the overall histogram is all we need to do.

You may well change the composition by zooming, but don't forget that it is only by moving position that you can explore the changes in perspective. Zooms can lead to lazier photography, but nonetheless they are the right choice for many photographers.

I know what you mean, it's a slow process at best, but Digital ICE will not see detail that is covered by dust. It's in a way like cloning everything in sight rather than cleaning the sensor.

For a quick scan that's one thing, but to do a high quality job then that's something else. It's why I rarely scan. It takes too long unless it's really needed.
