Define "on the way out" ?

Park Cameras are selling KP bodies, black and silver for £999, and shown as in stock,
but also a black KP kit with kit lens for £749 (stock due 14/1/22). How come ?.
Why don't you ask them ?

KP is no longer in production.

I don't own either lens myself, but from everything I have seen of them, I think you have got a super deal there.

You can always add the 50mm 1.4 later

This will give you a good flexible range.

Something for the guys looking after the site (maybe Rick?) to look into as it seems like this site is not on the radar of at least one of the major search engines.
A search of google for "pentax forum" has this site in fourth place. On Yahoo it is nowhere to be seen, same as DDG

It costs money to be near the top.

I have a K1 ii and I am attempting to crop a photo within the camera. Either I have forgotten how to do it or the camera has. I am zooming into the area which I want to keep (using the scroll wheel at the back of tha camera) and pressing "OK" and nothing happens.
Am I doing it incorrectly, that is how I seem to remember doing it before with this and other camers, or has the camera forgotten. The handbook was no help whatsoever.
Thanks.
You have to select the editing menu by using the 4-way controller first

If you get the chance do go.
Is it free though, or is it 'reserved' for ticket holders, like the British Museum seem to do
all too regularly ?.

And most people have to navigate through public transport with the Nu/Mu/Xi/Omygod variants
of Covid 19
This exhibition is £18 and you have to book a timed arrival slot. But for an exhibition like this that is essential. Not only can they control numbers for covid reasons, but it also means you can see all the exhibits without having to elbow your way to the front.

Considering there are 200 articles on display, including many that have never left the Kremlin Museum before, and many from private collections, the entrance charge is a bargain. There are 14 of the Imperial eggs on display. The most you can normally see under one roof is at the Kremlin Museum, where they have 10.

The requirement to wear a mask on the tube has never been relaxed and I was pleased to see over 90% compliance, even before the news of the latest variant broke, but I do understand the reluctance in these uncertain times.
