K-3, Flucard and BG5 grip bundle only £939 at SRS

'Hated it' is way too strong. I was disappointed with the IQ, especially towards the edges at the longer end of the range.

But the focusing was very fast and it's very compact and WR, so I've been considering it again as a walkaround lens.

You going to Farnborough this year Chris?

I booked the Sunday off work last week

Just to keep everyone in the loop, I have just done a deal with pay4later to offer finance. One of the options will be interest free which will be available on most products.

We've been talking about this for a while, but we are looking to launch this when our new website finally goes live which should be in 6-8 weeks time..

I've just run out of grips, so if anyone is interested in this offer, please send me a PM and I'll sort it out for you.

I'm going to remove the combo offer from the website until we get stock back in (should be next week) but please be assured that I will honour this deal...

Watch this space - I'll post back when grips arrive...

PM sent Chris

Had my K-3 for three months now and have never been tempted with the Flu card....ever,

The Grip on the other hand

Its a good price for the UK.

Best regards

Haven't decided yet. The tickets have got bloomin expensive over the last few years.

What I usually do is look at the weather a few days before, and then if it's going to be ok, get a weekend ticket and then go on the day with the better weather. It becomes something of a military operation - the alarm goes off at 5.30, the stuff prepared in the fridge goes into the coolbox, the coffee maker goes on and thence into the thermos. Then at 6.30 we drive down, I drop off the OH with all the stuff and go and park. Then I leg it back to where she is, and we carry all the stuff to the gate. Then when they let people through security, it's a fast march to the spot I like.

Then we can relax for five hours until the flying starts

In many ways I prefer Wings and Wheels at Dunsfold, cos we fly in. Much less stressful.

Tbh, I'm thinking of doing less of the FJs and more of things like this, simply because flying in makes the whole day 100x more fun.

May still go to F'boro though, not sure.

If you do go for the package deal, I'll take it off your hands for £50 +postage

I will go for the package deal but I think a 50% saving on your part is a bit extreme ... I can live with a 25% loss though

You can come and pick me up then, I will give you some petrol money

Think I will ask John to change the title now Chris has come up with a slightly better offer. no point in giving the "enemy" extra advertising :

Mike, you have a PM.

I have just bought a K3 from Wex and ordered a grip from SRS both at non-package prices
As normal, for me, I either jump too soon or leave it too late

How come you didn't get a Flucard Ralph, the offer has been on a few weeks.

Wex didn't offer it at the time and I was in a bit of a bind as my K5ii(s) was away being repaired and I needed a camera to finish my portrait course homework.
Wex still don't offer the K3 packaged with the flucard.

Title changed at request of OP.
