I'll second that, Fred. I bought the Pentax-A 35-70 f4 for use on my
LX, and it is a really nice piece of workmanship, although a bit heavy
(balances fine though). Takes sharp photos and the macro is pretty
good too - I think it goes down almost to 2:1.
Hi, Jim. Thanks for coming out of the

G'day all
I'm contemplating getting a wide to tele zoom as a walk around lens,
when I just want to carry a camera and a single lens. I'd like
something that starts at around 18 mm and goes to at least 135 mm.
I'm aware of the Pentax,

the offerings from Apple.

Mark (and Jostein), things HAVE changed in the MacBook Pro lineup.
All of the current offerings use an IPS screen with LED

I just received my K20 this afternoon. So far I am pleased. Focus is
fast and accurate, color balance is perfect, and the shutter sounds
crisper when it is fired.
I have noticed that the firmware is 1.0. I have downloaded ver 1.01

Marnie, do you have the latest version of Camera Raw which will work
with your PSE 5 installed on your computer (I think it is v 4.6)?
