Considering all the negative posts they get on Pentax friendly forums, I am surprised that Ricoh haven't already thrown in the towel

They need to attract some Apple fanbuoy types!

Hopefully that would keep them afloat?

Didn't the Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band do a song called 'Death Knell for Pentax'

Or......... Am I getting mixed up with 'Death Cab for Cutie'

The latter was performed by them accompanied (not musically) by a Raymond Revue Bar stripper in The Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour".

This is the Jessops web-site this morning.

There seems to be an inconsistency of supply at branches reported from time to time.

Why do you make that claim, Stan?

I am not sure what you are describing here John.

Is it a Screw Mount (M42?) to K Mount adaptor?
Being brand new I assume they are not Tamron Adaptall?

Do you just mean the DA 50-200 and the DA 15 & 35 Limiteds or are there other prices that you are comparing?

Not felt attracted by greater than 16MP for APS-C.
Would prefer 24 to 36 for FF.

Perhaps SRS have cleared their £1599/£1799 stock quicker than the competition and therefore have to apply the new price sooner?

Camerapricebuster showed two other dealers at the new price last night and surely others will follow.

Wide aperture lenses have very little depth of field at wide apertures, so focus is tricky to nail sometimes. The tiniest bit of subject movement can move the eyes out of the point of focus.
I think that might have been what caused the poor focussing for me, with my 50mm f1.4 on one of the display K1s shooting the 'train set' at the NEC.

Why was the focus "failing"?
