Wise words, perhaps you will explain this to my wife after I am mauled by a leopard while on safari this year

A bit of better advance planning with the boss, and I could have got that BIN you posted for £450

And Geordie, I'm thinking of chasing spuggies up Druridge and Cresswell. I'm sure me crawling around in front of hides with my combats on will go down well

And very funny Dave

I saw that one listed. Would be better if it was the DG version.

Thanks Smudge, was already aware, but thought we wren't posting links to auctions any longer. John has suggested it has caused a bit of friction.

As a one off to answer a query it's OK I think, but the regular unsolicited posting of eBay auctions does cause some dissent.
Best regards, John

Just thought I'd post an update to bring this thread to a conclusion.

In light of the price reduction at SRS of the Bigmos to £595, I bought one which has been delivered today.

Thanks to the gents who have helped me as I tried to get fixed up. It was really appreciated

First impression is WOW !!!!!

This made me smile.


The time has come for me to up my game, and I am now moving to professional cameras, so regretably all my Pentax gear has to find a new home.
