I look at mail on this list as more of a conversation than a
correspondence. In a conversation you don't usually sign your name.
Other lists may be more formal, and certainly there are formal e-mails
much like formal letters.

Hello,
I prefer using manual focus and while I have no trouble focusing
manually on my MX, I find it difficult on the *ist DS - up to the point
that 30-50% of my manually focused, not stopped down shots land in a
recycle bin just for being out of focus.
Does anybody have a problem like that?
I shoot with an *istD. I find the manual focus with the Pentax
replacement grid screen is excellent. Not quite as good as my LX or
MX, but very close better than most of my film cameras.

The D and DS have almost identical viewfinder systems, so what
applies to one also applies to the other.
All of the screens from Pentax are the same with regard to the
focusing surface, all that changes are the markings (the optional
ones have grid or cross-hair markings in addition to the

consider that it's wider as well, an argument can be made that the lenses
are getting smaller. I'm sure a 14/2.8 made in the days of the 15/3.5
would have been larger and heavier than the 15mm, or a 15mm/3.5 made today

True. But many of us were scanning film and printing digitally long
before we switched to digital cameras. So those costs were already
covered. With film and digital printing, things got expensive.
Eliminating the film cost was a blessing.

I was wondering what the fastest, widest, prime lens is for the Pentax DSLR
bodies. Is there anything out there like a 10mm to14mm f2.0, or even faster?
The speed of the ultra-wides isn't so limiting as any shake/subject
movement is reduced
Very true. When I shot live action motorsports, I practiced focusing
quite a bit. Now, at 58 years of age, my eyes are failing me, so I
don't work at manual focusing as aggressively as I once did. But my
prior experience still works in my favor. Practice is definitely a plus.

Interesting, I sign too, firstly it's a function of most mailers and
secondly I expect my posts to be available in the public domain

Right now I've only got about 300gb of useable hard drive space. Of that,
the O/S, the Page File, and some programs take a bite. I could use another
large drive or two, mainly to get the files into an archive that can be
accessed and to free up hard disk space on the computer. What really ate
Maybe ... I don't know. But, the Olympus Zuiko 21/2.0 was for full frame,
weight but 250 grams or so, and used 55mm filters. Compare that to the
A20/2.8 or even the K20/4.0. The Pentax M20/4.0 was quite a bit smaller
and lighter than its predecessor. The pentax M85/2.0 is substantially
smaller
