Hi all
I know their not Pentax, but I like playing with old folders and I wondered if any of you out there could recomend a reasonable processing house for 120 films in the uk, obviously not to pro. standards as most of my films are just to try the old cameras out.
Thanks Mick

Thanks to all your helpfull replys. (This forum is GREAT)
My local shop allowed me the opportunity to play with the lens last weekend and as been said it does appear to be a very nice lens. Sadly I noticed what I think are minute spots of fungus on the zoom assembly Still hopefull of a deal if they could clean and service.

Thanks everyone Still undecided as I like the 80-320 as a walk-about and the 100-300 is a bit to big for that. My photgraphy interest is mostly wildlife and my lens for this is a Tamron SP. 300 2.8 with af1.7 on a K10D. I like the flexibility of the zoom though which I use on a Ds.
Matt ?, how do you find CA is with the 100-300 on the K10D. I find it sometimes (depending on lighting conditions) a problem with my Tamron and the K10D but not bad on the Ds.

Hello all you experts
Can anyone offer any thoughts/advice/experience on this lens as I have the opportunity to acquire a very nice used one, in comparison to the Pentax 80-320 which I already have. Help me to decide!

Hi all
Happy New Year, when it gets here. I am considering the epson R1400 printer and I just wondered if anyone had any comments good and bad, I print most of my shots up to A4 but thought it would nice to be able to do the odd A3 now and again
Cheers

Hi Experts
Is it possible to retain image file no,s on the 10D. When I format my card I find that the image count reverts to zero unlike my ds which retains the total no. of images taken. Have I missed something in the manual ?.

Hi,
Just a follow up, after a great weekend playing with the k10d I spent some hard earned cash and am very pleased. The SR I find is very good with my old telephotos and the kit lens, little disapionted with the stop down metering when compared to my ds, (thats another reason to keep it) whatching the metering thread with interest.
Cheers, Mike

I have had my 35mm da since last summer and I think it is a cracker. I agree with John for bugs you need a little more reach (I use an old Tamron 90 2.5), but used with care insects and bugs can be caught ( I've put 2 pics on my portfolio recently) Its also a smashing walk about lens. BUY IT !!
