Hi,
it's for you to decide whether it's worth it. I've had a few photos
scanned onto Kodak Photo CD, both Pro and normal versions. The Pro one
is excellent, but very expensive and probably not worth the money
unless you want huge enlargements. The standard scans depend very much
on the operator.

The A50/2 was made of plastic as well. That's why I recommend the A50/1.4

The K1000 was a stripped down version of the KM so I suppose that it

of CdS is that they have good sensitivity and are well matched in colour

I've placed pictures on http://www.cymweb.com/pentax/test/ for comparison.
The 2 first are taken with my A 35-105 f/3.5 and the 2 last with the 50mm.
As you will see the 35-105 is far more accurate than the 50mm.

Nope - if you keep the filter on you have to clean only the front surface. Hoya HMC
seems to work well with the 24-90 - no flare, no vignetting (which is a fancy word for
light falloff). BTW I use skylight because the current Sensia 100 is not that warm.
All the best!

Another potential cause of discrepancy might be the fact that the KM and

other cameras. The difference should be pretty small in most cases, though.
