Off with the 1100D and [hopefully] back on with the Pentax.
Hooray! I managed to sell my 1100D this morning. Now all I have to do is to decide between the K-r and the K-5. Because of my severe financial situation I have to do 'credit'. I also have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in three fingers, which make handling the camera and changing lenses a bit of a bore. ...

If you are not going to be using WR lenses then you will save hundreds of pounds by not buying the K-R which could leave you closer to that macro lens you want. I appreciate that the K-5 offers more than just WR but you have to ask yourself if you are going to use these additional features.

+ 1 on Steve's post. I'd buy both used not new (from a reputable dealer such as SRS which everyone here seems to have a good opinion of). Kr not K5 and you'll be able to get the macro lens as well as your Tamron from the savings. For macro you don't have to have AF and there are some wonderful o...

You've thrown a lot of money away changing systems twice... I'd snag a used Kr / Kx and Pentax 18-250 (there's one of those in the classifieds now - get it, as they don't come up too often!) Have you considered Nikon? The D5100 looks good...

Ah the road to contentment. Everyone has probably taken that road at least twice in many different forms. At the very least I hope you get to taking photos soon, looking forward to see them. :)

I agree. A used K10d with a good lens will always give better photos than a K-5 with a cheap lens.

At last I have a K-r back in my possession. I've even managed to update the firmware without having to ask for assistance! Language set, I normally speak fluent rubbish but I couldn't find it listed, so put English, no one will know. All is ready to for me to learn how to take photographs. Everythin...

I can't see the 18- 250 lens. I'm looking in the classifieds. If that helps! John

Opethian, thanks for youe comments. You are most welcome sir! This is very good news! Weather dictates that it's going to be traditionally English weather this weekend so I think it's safe to say we'll be putting on our wet gear. :D Happy shooting!

Wrist Strap Recommendations
I'm looking around for a wrist strap to use on the odd occasion instead of a neck strap when I just want to hold the camera. I ordered the Hama Pro Wrist Strap but I've sent it back as I didn't find it very comfortable whatsoever. Can anyone else recommend one apart from the Hama strap? Rob

PK-A extension rings on a K10D
If they are Jessops rings then you will need to scrape the paint off. Yes you can use the tubes on any lens including macro and the wider the ring the closer you will be able to focus. The more space you have between the body and lens the closer you will get so use different combinations to get y...

PK-A extension rings on a K10D
Is it possible to add these extension rings to a macro lens to get even closer? or should they only be used with standard fixed lenses? Another question the set contain 3 extension rings (13, 21 & 31) is each one for a set lens or magnification? As Mike says you can use them with almost any len...

PK-A extension rings on a K10D
Is it possible to add these extension rings to a macro lens to get even closer? Sure. A macro lens of a given focal length does its magnification by letting you get closer to the subject and still be able to focus, not by doing more magnification than any other lens of the same focal length. S...
