SRS discount would be the winner for me I reckon... But I think the article pages become 'unlocked' and you get unlimited uploads to your gallery space...must look up the benefits of membership.
The unlimited gallery space would be quite good if I didn't already have a flickr account
Maybe John could do a deal with the Pentax-UK distributor on some freebies to make it even more attractive(?)
Or blag some nice prizes for regular 'Pentax-only' comps like the yanks have(?)

Don't forget the 20% discount on servicing from JPS. One repair could more than pay for the membership.
Best regards, John

That's exactly why I continue being a member, because knowing my luck it will be a waste of money as I'll never need a repair.....Yippeeeeee!Don't forget the 20% discount on servicing from JPS. One repair could more than pay for the membership.
Must go find some wood to touch.

What SRS Discount? Free p/p is available in lots of places, haven't found them particularly cheaper either.
I can't see me running out of storage space either.
I'm not likely to win anything either looking at the talent displayed on here.
On the plus side the pointless thread is ok and the classified is useful as a guage for prices.
Will decide nearer the time.

I`m with Stan really - most of my gear is second hand and SRS stuff way out of my league ( much as I`d like to deal with them )- space is not relevant and the comps are my bit of fun and challenge me to get off my botty !
Pointless is great fun and classified keep me on my toes too

The free P&P is available to any member of the forum PUP member or not.
Now if I could see the sun I'm sure it would be over the yardarm, so I'm off for a G&T.

Camera is just a year old and fully insured for the next two years( have already had it repaired under this, pulled lens mounting off, camera fell off tripod mount :shock. Last thing I bought from SRS was a tripod ball head which was a similar price elsewhere. Don't know if that is an accessory or not but no offer of 10% offThere's a discount on accessories from SRS - I think 10%.

Will probably re-new as I have for the most part enjoyed it here and I've never had a gold star for anything

It's pentax accessories Stan, such as lens hoods, lens caps, cables, chargers, etc. There's a list somewhere - try under the Shop tag.

Hi,
I'm not sure if there's a general thread for 'links to good photos..' so I'll post here for the moment.
50 great, nicely timed animal photos
