I suppose if Pentax are marketing the K-m as the next step up from a P&S then Argos, Currys, Pc World (Same owner as Currys) and suchlike are the perfect retailers to stock it.
If they can pull it off and make Pentax more of a household name then users of the K-m are more likely to choose Pentax if they decide to upgrade at a later date.

Personally I thought it was perfectly readable and to be honest as long as that is possible I cannot for the life of me see why it should be such an issue.
Having seen how most of the youngsters today spell and format their writing ( Wot u doin tday, c u l8er 4 dnnr ) I am just happy that I can understand most of what is written on this forum.

I have the Adaptall 2 manual focus version and it is a excellent lens.

Another one accepted

When I bought my K10D (my first DSLR) around 6 months ago I was offered a Sigma 10-20mm for £200, a few months old and used around 5 times.
I refused because I knew nothing about it.

Now I know better I really do kick myself when I see photos taken with the lens

First page:

Pentax smc FA 50mm F1.4 specifications
Street price

• $200 US
• £170 UK

Also gives price on second page as well

To be honest I wouldn't be overly worried if Samsung decided to jump into the DSLR market in a big way and bought Pentax for sole use of the K mount and their customer base.
Samsung have the money to throw at the market, much more so than Pentax (Hoya probably do but I dont think they want to).

They could even run the 2 names side by side although I think Samsung is now a lot bigger name than Pentax (which was massive in my younger days but now no one seems to have a real clue about them).

Congrats to Rob for an excellent photo .. and the Hefty for a well judged competition.

The banana really did make me laugh out loud though

The cheap ones are rubbish, they blackout after f8 making the screen unusable.
That's what I found anyway and as I do a lot of macro it was pointless keeping it in the camera.

SRS have the 55-300mm for £200 with free postage if you quote the forum, less £25 cashback = £175 delivered.
I would def pay the extra for that over the others but that's just me
