You could ask other Pro dealers such as Park Cameras, but it's unlikely they will be any different price-wise.
If funds allow, the K-5 IIs is already lower in price than it started out, so why not buy one? You can always sell on later.

Thanks John, I will investigate. I went to SRS first as I've always had excellent service from them.
I would like to know how much better the IQ and low-light focussing is before I take the plunge, hence the hire seemed a good idea, and after this trip I probably won't shoot much for 5-6 months, as the outdoor nudes season is generally April-September, and I think there has got to be a good chance of a new body by next April.

Without wanting to pressure anyone, have you asked whether there might be a reduction if you were to offer reciprocal advertising at your next exhibition?
Of course if Pentax UK had even a vague interest in promoting their cameras they might offer you a free loan in exchange for showing what they can do in the right hands!

Interesting thoughts Gareth, I am extremely successful with my images, all taken on Pentax cameras.
John seems to know all the right people, I may contact him.

I will admit to being a one-trick pony, as i only shoot one type of image, but by shooting one subject it does concentrate the mind and you improve more rapidly than you would by shooting many genres.
While most of you drive to a shoot wondering what you will take pictures of that day, I know exactly what I will be taking pictures of as she is sitting in the passenger seat next to me, and it's just a matter of finding some good light and a background!

But you haven't said which of your models has a new body coming out next year!

So I thought the ideal solution would be to hire an K5-IIs to get my better images, and then I can hang on longer for the new body to be released, whenever it is. I have had a quote from SRS which is a little more than I would want to pay, does anyone know of other places that hire out the K5-IIs?
