I have had a Pentax system since the purchase of my ME Super from new. Pentax cameras have never let me down and have done just about everything I have asked of them. Having had a system for so long, I have been fortunate enough to put together enough kit to do most jobs. A GREAT PLUS is the well known fact that all my hard won lenses are still useable with the most up to date Pentax DSLRs. A poor workman can always blame his/or her tools and it is well known that an expensive camera does not make a great photographer.

However, there are some areas of professional photography where maybe a Pentax is not up to the job. Just as with any range of tools, there maybe a need to go out and buy that specialist item for a particular specialist task

I just dont get the point of this thread at all. Didn't we have another thread from the same poster about Pentax support and wireless triggers. There are umpteen manufacturers making wireless triggers compatible with Pentax, I even gave the OP a link to some. Is he is comtemplating starting a career as a photographer?
Yeah you're right and he sold all of his kit in the mean time, so yes that makes you wander about this thread.
It's also one thread that has gone here sometimes more and the others all ended up by the OP saying that it isn't true all the things we said and him/her leaving.
Perhaps he just likes to light the blue touchpaper and retire...

I dont think so! Its not a Pentax one but a Seagull usually obtained new between £29 and £39.
Apologies to anyone rushing to buy - Just that a first glance it looks very much like the link that I own

There is an excellent right angle finder listed - great for Macro or if the old eyeballs are feeling the strain!

I asked the seller a question,

Dear foto-hobby,
Hi,
Do you have the missing rear section of the lens with the Pentax bayonet mounts on it.
Greg

and here is his reply, which I do not understand but I think he is being a bit devious what.

hi
you need to what camera notes such you will get

My response was as follows:

Dear foto-hobby,

Hi - This lens is missing the rear mount for the lens - so will not fit on a pentax. Do you have the pentax mount for this lens?
If you have the mount, please post a picture of it as I would need to see it if I want to buy a lens at this price...

It's those Ready for Review ones that I keep looking at, and wondering when I will know whether they have be accepted or Declined.

Like all three shots - but the church stands out the most for me

What do you think I am? Stupid?
For what it's worth - as a qualified weapons instructor and range officer, you would be surprised what even "Experienced" shooters do

I remember from my early days with film, my tutor suggesting metering off the grass, if no light meter or grey card was available!:
