Thank You for your comments Alex.Possibly it has nothing to do with the Pentax list directly but as with a few others ,occasionally there is a slight divergence.Possibly you could post your comments on the list as I shall.I am quite happy to stick to strictly Pentax subjects if we no longer have cars,booze, night life etc.and various other non Pentax subjects.
