Paul, I didn't say otherwise. I also purchased some lenses from them. (I actually don't remember if I purchased my zx-5n from them or from Adorama.) While I do not know their standing prior to 1996-1997, my impression was that somewhere around that time they drastically improved. Henry Posner

Ricoh P lenses are not safe to mount on Pentax AF bodies as the P indicator pin is located in the same spot as the AF drive and can easily jam the lens on the mount. You can modify the lens to be safe by removing the P pin. Chinon's are safe and fully compatible -Adam On Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at
