Hello, I'm about to help a friend buying his first SLR. A manual Pentax, preferably, in this way we'll be able to use the same lenses&accessories. (unfortunately, I live in Romania - B&H, KEH and - especially - most of you are too far away.) I saw in a store a P30n (which I understand it's very similar to the P30t), it looks good - the camera is clean and the shutter seems intact. However, I'm not familiar with this type of cameras, so I have few questions: First, there is something I should be aware? (like sticky mirror, dials which breaks etc.). I intend to check the camera (as I don't think Pentax will service it) and I'll appreciate any advice (is the first time I'm doing this). Regarding flashes: afaik they works only in manual and auto; but are the newer Pentax flashes compatible? How about third party, like Metz or Sigma? I understand it uses LR44 alkaline, or SR44 batteries - they are easy to find? If not, can I use other batteries? And, about the included lens (the A 50mm f/2); what do you think about it?
Thanks! P.S. I'm trying to send the mail from another mail account, because the normal one has some problems. Alex Sarbu
