I've just received a SECOND receipt for payment for a 4GB CF Card?
The FIRST receipt was sent 5days ago?

Sounds like I might get something.

Nonsense Mike, I expect they know that if you have another body you'll need well several more lenses to accommodate it. I thought I was the gloomy one round here.

K-7, kit lens and macro arrived .. looks unused (boxes look like they have been shipped from Afghanistan though)

Now on charge ... bet it doesn't work when battery full (gloomy bit).

Not bad for £345 .. thanks for the heads up gregmoll (and sorry you couldn't get one).

Absolute bargain!
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

Apparently.

Mike, don't use a rocket blower to clean the sensor on this one . . .

PS: You lucky bar steward. If only I could have logged in faster, that could have been mine. I did get a 4Gb SDHC card for £3.42 though

After some of your past purchases it must have been a good price for you to comment on how cheap it was

I still see that every time I process a macro shot taken at around f12.

Think I well and truly learned my lesson there

I don't think any of my bargain purchases will beat yours Mike,

I can't believe they actually followed through with the transactions, surely they didn't get them for pennies and just wanted to off load them quickly. Maybe they fell off the back of a lorry, you did say the boxes were battered, maybe that explains it
