If anyone out there fancies buying just one DA Ltd lens, this would be a great choice - very useful FL, and a beauty to behold!

I'd only had it a few days when I noticed, but it's a very infrequent issue and so slight even the affected prints were better than what I would have expected for something which isn't a dedicated photo printer.
Have you had any experience using non-Kodak paper in it Ken? Sometimes I fancy using 'art' papers.

Very happy with my Kodak all-in-one (ESP 3200) too, occasionally there are very faint lines on the prints but I found an 'advanced dot placement mode' box to check in the settings, which would probably cure this and improve the print quality even more. I didn't really expect 'lab quality' prints so the quality is a real bonus.
As Ken says, it's great to load the paper and just let the printer select the optimal settings.
It also seems a pretty reliable printer. Unlike some others I've had, notably Epson

Just look at the response in this thread. It is echoed around the world as far as Pentax user go. On a personal note, I'm well pleased with CES as I use other "kit" as well as Pentax and that opens up choices.
As a Pentax user of long standing, am I too upset? No. My existing kit is fine and produces the results. Oddly enough, if things don't improve soon, I may buy a K5 as it may possibly be the last Pentax DSLR? I'd hate to say farewell without owning their best DSLR to date (never had issues with film bodies).
If Ricoh have a secret, good for them. It's my birthday today and along with others, I don't get younger, and don't worry about if and when any more.
Maybe by April they let loose a new body or two and instil confidence with their market faithful.
Meanwhile, I continue to invest (odd term as I don't sell) in FF glass and other brands.
Stiff upper lip etc etc.
Best regards

If you get a sealed body in the future, buying a bundled kit lens is probably the cheapest way of upgrading, then you can sell the old one.

Well I'm sorry for posting, next time I'll not bother
It at least shows our concerns re long lenses, tethering, even full frame, are on Pentax's radar.

While Ricoh has now 'subsumed' Pentax into it's company, I think that Pentax will remain a distinctive 'product line' within the company - this probably means interchangeable lens cameras (apart from the Ricoh GXR). So it probably won't be appropriate for current and future Ricoh compacts to be included on the site.
The Ricoh GXR with the K-mount module is something else; as it will soon take K-mount lenses and I would have thought that as long as the lens is Pentax, images taken with that lens would be OK for this forum if posted to show off something special about that lens. I would have though the same would apply to any body if a Pentax lens was mounted, provided that the point of posting the picture was clearly of interest to Pentax users. This would probably come into the 'at the Mod's discretion' category!
