What a jump up from the DS.

Battery on charge so not 'played' with them yet.

It was supposed to be here yesterday, stayed in but Sh**y-Link was said to have rung and posted a card through my brown door, I'm a blue and no brown doors on the street.

Anyway I'm just over the moon.

I'd like to give a big thank you to the members for posts and advice.
Also a big thank you to SRS, very very helpful, even when parcel not arrived they were straight on the case trying to sort things out.
So thanks Will, Nicky and Chris.
(Chris has got some great staff, excellent training as well aye Chris lol)
Anyone sick of these smiles yet?

You should see the one on my face

I'll try posting once I get the hang of the big K

Regards

Congratulations (there's a song in that!) I'm not in the least a bit envious
Enjoy!
Got to agree about SRS, excellent company to trade with

Thanks guys.

It was worth the months of overtime, and even had to sell the motorbike!

Mick you must be near me, I'm just outside Hawick.

Great to have another Pentaxian nearby.

I realise we all have to make sacrifices to get what we want, but to sell your bike that just breaks my heart. I hope you don't come to regret it.

When I started to get into photography in a big way and the LBA was kicking in, my wife would say to me, why don't you sell your bike. I just pretended I didn't hear her

Enjoy your new acquisitions, I know you won't regret those.

I'll let you into a secret
I have two or had two bikes, so I can still get out on my other.
I'm not loaded, they were cheap bikes, but selling one helped to get my new K20D.

I'm just up, was on nightshift last night. Now I can play

Mick, I used to work in Langholm a few years ago, just for a short time.

Maybe bump into you in the wilds sometime.

you lucky pup!

i'd have to sell a few vital organs to get a K20. i'd say have fun, but i think that's a given.
Pentax k1000, MX, ME Super, K5iiD 18-55, Tamron 70-300, Tamron 500 mirror, pentax 10-17, 50 1:4, a manual 28, some extension tubes and a bagful of memory cards. That's all i need... and a load of film cameras too... that's it, honest.
