Thanks K10. A poor reproduction but just enough detail.
A question. Can this bellows be used without the twin release cable? Digital cameras do not have cable release possibilities
Regards Thoramay.
With digital, I would think that any lens with an aperture ring is fine, as long as you focus wide open and stop down before taking the shot. Trial and error for exposure? Easy with digital.

Thou's nah shy of being forward las!
I'm sure that if it proved to be total *****, you'd not be happy.
Cards on the table?
I'd be happy with a K7 with improved metering, AF, dual card slots and a tad higher noise free ISO. I also want the option to choose SDM or mechanical AF in the software. I'd live with having super video features as I do not have to use them but others may want to.
Lens wise, Pentax are so so lacking for a 70-200 f/2.8 with matching TC. They would fly of the shelf if they made that combo.
For the record, having been with Pentax since 1974 and used them in some nasty places as well as on leave and even quite a bit of use in the Netherlands, I'd never be without one. I own two other systems and have yet to announce that one system is better than the others.
Best regards, good weekend.

Not happy with the direction Pentax are going, but hey, if I don't buy into the new stuff, it won't bother me.
I may buy a second K7 though as I love it to death. I'd buy a new istD now if I found one available.

If they aimed it at the amateur market instead and had a camera with similar specification levels as the Nikon D700 or Canon 5D and pitch it at the same price level as those cameras (currently around £1700 at Park Cameras), would they be able to sell enough of them to make it financially viable ? I really don't know.
Out of interest, how many following this thread would be willing to part with around £1700 for a FF Pentax DSLR ?
Just some idle ramblings. It Friday and I am rather looking forward to a couple beers tonight.
Cheers,

A year back, as this year, Pentax don't have FF, my 1700 went on a D700, I'm a year older and have the use of FF. If I keep waiting for Pentax to do it, I join the ranks of never never land. Life can be too short.

p.s. weathers improving so it may be a BBQ and French red.

It's surprising what can be digitised, so does anyone know where I can get my MZ-S done?
