Another satisfied customer...again no idea why that happened but yes onward and... er...upward

Just had a call from a member in Leicester area who is happy to set up a local Leicester-based group. Please email me if you want his details [email protected]">[email protected].

Yes we set this Forum up hoping to get lots of people taking about Pentax. From experience running ePHOTOzines forums it takes a long time to get them busy, so a big thanks to the few who regularly submit posts and keep it looking fresh. Hopefully things will kick off soon.

This is a poll to check out what image editing software you use so that when we cover digital techniques in the magazine they will be more relevant.

That was a good plug for the club John and a series of four really good images. I particularly liked the Pigeon Tower shot by Harry, very moody!

Whenever I have seen a comparative reviews in the newsstand mags, such as PP and AP, I have seen Kodachrome included. I guess when a mag does a test of new films it ignores that one because it's been around so long.
We could do a test in Pentax User but it would take up all the magazine if it was comprehensive. I'll put the feelers out to see if we can get a supplement sponsored and include that in addition to the mag. Alternatively I could do a couple of films per issue but then it would take a couple of years to build up and then Kodak or Fuji would probably have a new film to replace the ones tested.

I've just had notification that Roy Hampson, Castleford, West Yorks would like to set up a Yorkshire region of the Pentax club and would love to here from members in that area who would be interested in forming a group. Please contact Roy on [email protected] if you are interested.

John, SRB in Luton will probably make, or be able to make, an adaptor to fit bayonet lenses on to a screw thread body (that get's you off the hook for being wrong) the problem is the adaptor would act like a small extension tube and would mean the lens would no longer be able to focus on infinity.

Good subject to kick off with John. Hope it gets some good response. You were lucky to get all that for £20! I quite liked the FR1 but preferred the Contax big brother I had a 137MD for a while it was superb and the Zeiss lenses fine. But you're right at the time the FR1 was around I think Pentax where on the KX and KM models very classy with superb lenses. But when the ME/MX arrived that was when I thought Pentax really had their act together. I loved the M lenses. Light, smooth and superb quality. Other cameras? I never liked older Canons - I though they were too clunky. Nikon FM2 was an old favourite and I still own an F3. I had and really enjoyed using an Olympus OM1n for a couple of years too. Then they brought out the terrible OM3/OM4 with battery problems. I have fond memories of the old Pentax S1, never could get on with the shutter cocking/lens removal process, but otherwise the camera was great to use. First Autofocus love? Canon EOS100. I still have this and use it from time to time.
