So if I go in a shop and ask for a pair of
Pentax binoculars will they know the right model
Amazon have a Pentax camera for sale as well!
It's very good I've got one
Does anyone know of any Pentax dealers that will
take a barely used 10ft x 8ft England Flag in
partexchange on a pair of binoculars

A strange thing about the 75-150mm is that it's actually sharper
at the 150mm end than the 75mm. Most lenses are the other way around.

You might find this tutorial of interest.....
http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/macro-extension-tubes-closeup.htm
The same page has a handy calculator.
Also download the PDF Manual of Pentax K tubes it gives the magnification and exposure loss for each tube.
The old rule of thumb with a 50mm lens used to be.......
Light loss = 1 stop per inch of tube.
With any lens (set at infinity) you need the focal length again in
tubes for 1:1 so 50mm lens + 50mm tube = 100mm .....
Light loss = 2 stops.

I agree with Matt that the Samsungs seem about the best value at present. Go for the SDHC UHS-I Class 10 cards. Make sure it has a cup after SD with a 1 in it. There is a cheaper/slower version without the cup.
