I can think of far worse places to be marooned. Welcome back.

On some lenses it is just a matter of undoing one or more screws around the barrel. These are unfortunately often located beneath the rubber grip material which will need to be peeled back first.

Now that's exactly the kind of event I'd like to capture on video. Maybe using a K7 and Sigma EX 180mm Macro.

That all seems clear enough to me. A step closer to sanity I think.

Which would be the 'right' camera?

Good to hear, but shouldn't you have added this to the ongoing thread? It could get horribly complicated with more than one thread to read.

It does look like a Morel. It also looks a tad past its use by date.

Odd that the K20D .exe file is over 7Mb but the K10D update is 1.6Mb.

I suppose its just too much to hope that they've slipped in the ability to switch between SDM and screw focussing?

Yes, of course it is. Silly me.

I wouldn't be surprised if it has been discontinued given that the sdm 55mm f1.4 and the 43mm f1.9 are available. Do we really need a 50mm f1.4 as well?
The DA* 55mm is SDM only and I believe it has an APS-C image circle, so yes, a 50mm f1.4 with a 35mm image circle still has a place I think.
