Hi Ivan,

If you can't do that at all, there is a mechanical fault in the winder. The
possible movement is only a small one but there has to be one.

Rob,
I am not sure what you are talking about. AFAIK, both EZCD Creator and
Nero (bundled with most CD writers) do have a "verify" option.
And in command line world, "cp -R /dev/cd /dev/null >& errlog" or
something similar does the verification just as well.
And yes, checking the newly burned CD
The "non-digital" controls are the same as the film cameras that they were
adapted from.

As a sidetrack to "all the competition has"...:
The "pentax way" since MZ-5 has been to create sturdy, basic, compact SLRs.
With easy controls.

Thank you, Cotty. Another PDMLer, who also liked the pic, thought the
building was a distraction. So I may digitally erase it and see how the
thing looks then. A lot of work, though, to erase all those edges
carefully.

I've had an F100 for over 3 years and a N80 for over 2 years. The AF of the
F100 is much faster than the N80.
The ZX-5 with the FA (power zoom) 28-105 was so slow that it was useless
with moving subjects. The Tamron 4-5.6/28-105 was quicker. The N80 with the
Nikon 28-105 is a bit quicker in the fo

My first AF Pentax was the ZX-50. The kit came with the F 35-80
f4.0-5.6. It is now available in FA. For a budget lens I can recommend
this. Many of the photos I have submitted to PUG were made with it. I
often make full-size enlargements on A4 paper from images taken with it.

Another very good lens is the older F 35-70. You will need to find one
used. It has a reputation of being one of Pentax's best zooms, and
should be inexpensive.

Nice shots with the Oly and I fully agree on the lack of a DSLR. I'm amazed
at how much of my shooting has moved over to my Nikon digital.
As for the rewind button - I'm always out in the woods and a twig is never
far off. But how about taking a safety pin, cutting off or dulling the
sharp end
Bruce,
I'm curious, did Pentax "make it right" i.e. fix or replace the body for
free? (MZ-S)

I have the Viv 19/3.8 and it's not a bad lens. It is subject to flare so be
careful about where you aim it.
