Do they supply direct to the public? The seem to be distributors?

Don't laugh, but I've got a Pretec 512kb SRAM Card form years ago that I paid over £50 for I never thought I would ever need to buy anything any bigger!

I bought it to transfer files from a Sharp Pocket PC-3100 over to

Not as funny as the other one about them bringing
out a Lego lookalike called the K-01

Jessops had a website which worked OK.... you typed Pentax into the search box and it listed all the Pentax tagged items including Sigma and Tamron lenses and you could happily look through the 3-4 quite well laid out pages.

Now someone has decided that this just won't do..... people could actually buy things instead of looking at a load of flash graphics...... so the site has been updated so that it's not so buyer friendly Now you get taken to a Pentax Shop complete with flash graphics and a video of the K-5...... Hell of a job to find what you want and Sigma and Tamron aren't listed....

They have a dropdown menu which lists lenses and when you click on it there's a very handy "shop by fitting" selection except it doesn't list Pentax even though they stock Pentax lenses. It just lists 'Canon Nikon 4/3rds and Sony'...... Just out of curiosity click Sony.... It comes up Lenses (0) .... They haven't got any

Luckily they haven't updated a search for "Pentax lenses" it still gives the old list and shows 36 lenses of all makes in Pentax fitting This includes the Tamron 70-300mm at £99.95 which isn't on the list of Tamron lenses listed under Tamron Pentax fitting via the menu.... so how are you supposed to find it?

The focusing scale on a macro lens is designed for close ups.
It's usually very cramped at the other end say 2m to INF making it
difficult to focus.

Something like a Pentax-M 100mm f/2.8 is better suited to
distance shots.
