Hi Guys,
First post here
I have a sweet old Spotmatic languishing for many years. Was very pleased to see the new DSLRs will take its nice 1.4 Takumar.
In fact second hand lens seem to be cheap and in good supply.
By the time I can save up for a K model, maybe they will be full frame sensor

It was a very old and shaggy victorian shop front, very small and had not beed painted since about the 12th century.
There was a small 4 foot wide window either side of the door. I looked in the left hand side one. There were about 4 or 5 tatty chipboard shelves with cameras and lenses liberally scattered about. There were no prices and all the items were covered in about 5mm of thick BLACK dust. It looked like no one had cleaned the shop for quite literally years.

I then looked inside. There was an old lady about 60 serving an old guy and another assistant standing behind the counter..it was about 3pm in the afternoon and she was eating chinese takeout from the silver tray they come in.
The floor area in the shop was about 10 feet wide and about 15 feet long, trouble is there was a mountain of camera gear, boxes and general rubbish piled up on the floor. This pile was about 3-4 feet high and was taking up about three quarters of the floor area. There was only a narrow corridor of floor left directly in front of the counter which was about 18 inches wide. Had there been a fire, people would have had difficulty evacuating.
On the counter and on many shelves behind the counter were countless cameras, lenses and all manner of gear just piled up on top of each other and just scattered everywhere..it looked just like a jumble sale.

I was absolutely shocked that in the year 2006, a shop, especially one who sells technical equipment, which needs storing properly, should be in such a complete shambles. I would suggest the owner has no cleaning going on at all in the shop and also in my opinion has a complete disregard for health and safety.
I shudder to think what state the cameras and lenses are in which 'inhabit' this joke of a shop.
........the shop is called Nicholas. I have spoken to several camera buyers in London since and all have said this retailer has a shocking reputation...this does not surprise me one little bit..
The really bad thing in my opinion is that Amateur Photographer magazine are every week advertising this shambles.
cheers Steve.M.

Beset as we are with so much lifeless commercial conformity
surely visiting such a shop is a unique experience ?
Hope she wipes off the chicken grease before handling the stock

I suppose they are dumping stock to make room for the new super version thats coming http://www.steves-digicams.com/diginews.html#pentax_K100D_Super
My question is
is the addition of dust demoval system in this K100s worth getting it over the K100 ? I think they have done some static lowering surface on the sensor too.
cheers
