Thanks for that. Luckily a friend has turned up who is a bit better technically than me & turned it to A and it worked; then I saw your message!

A very happy owner of the K100D now!!!

I now have my K100D, it arrived yesterday & I'm thrilled with it.

However, the zoom I mentioned in my previous post doesn't want to work; the 'top' display is flashing AF, I tried switching it across to manual but the shutter still doesn't want to play ..

Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong, or will I have to buy a new zoom? If so I'd rather get a zoom that will fit both cameras probably from e-bay ... any pointers as to which one?

Thanks a lot

Kira

PS: Got an English instruction manual with it - T-dimension (Hong Kong e-bay shop) was fantastic!

Just joined this forum & just bought my Pentax K100D online via a Hong Kong based seller (e-bay)

I've already got the Pentax Z-70P which I bought myself in Japan just over 10years ago. This has two lenses; a Pentax 35-80 which came with the camera and a Pentax F Zoom 70-200 (1:4-5.6) which I bought separately re-conditioned.

According to others both these lenses will fit my new K100D; the new camera is coming with a 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Autofocus Lens. But now I'm looking for a wide angle one possibly re-conditioned etc from e-bay most likely.

Can anyone help me here? I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for; I keep coming across 'K' & 'M' bayonets and have no idea what I have/will have. Ideally I'd like it to fit on both bodies.

Another quick question, the e-bay seller is known to a neighbour of mine who bought the Optio W20 but the instructions were in Chinese, I've looked for the instruction manual for the K100D online but not found it ... does it exist?

Thanks a lot!
