Thanks for all the advice.
I will one day not need to ask such stupid questions.

What is the size for filters (polarising etc) on my K-x?
I was told that it's 49mm, but I ordered some and they don't fit.
Is it 52mm I should have bought?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello and good morrow.
The good news is I went into the menu and changed the 'Using Aperture ring' function. Now it works and it's good.

Thanks very much for all the help and suggestions.

Just one more thing. The lens came without a front lens cap.
The lens cap that came with my kit lens doesn't fit it.
How would I find out the size of the lens to order a replacment lens cap?

Once again, thanks in advance.

No I had it set on AF.
Nothing happened, so I switched to MF.
Still nothing happened.
I assume there may be settings in the Menu I need to apply.

I've just bought this lens second hand and as it is an old lens, I find it doesn't use auto-focus.
But when I first connected it, I can't fire off a shot. The shutter button does nothing.
Am I doing something wrong?
Do I have to do something else once I've fitted the lens?
I'm a new DSLR user so excuse my ignorance.

I'm a bit alarmed. Is the K-x a bit of a lemon?
What length of time should I expect my K-x to last?
I assumed - what, with the high price I paid - that this camera would last at least 5 years. Am I being unreasonable?

I live very near there, Lenny. But I'm a beginner, so I probably wouldn't be experienced/knowledgeable enough to give a good assessment. Sorry.
