24-70mm is a kit lens but for 35mm format, basicly it's roughly 1.5x longer although 24-70 is a bit wider then that.
If you don't need the wide angle you could also look at the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 it's around the £365.

From what I have heard most SDM problems are due because of misalignment, Pentax blames the rough shipping handling.
You could send it to Pentax, they replace the SDM for 70 Pounds I believe, someone here had a price list.

Apparently not Stefan, I understand Rachel Katz has denied their blanks are from the same source as Focusing Screen.com which partly why I've ordered a K3 Grid to try Katz Eye Optics and Focusing Screen both use the K3 screens I believe so they should be almost the same only the opti-bright from Katz could make a differencing.
Someone has tested different screens from Focusing Screen, I believe he favoured one of the Canon screens, don't know which type... will look it up if I can find it.

[quote:3496ace15f="Anvh"]Wow that looks better then I thought, why did they make it a limited edition
Btw it looks like it's tested in the Netherlands
I thought it might look better with a brown grip but I don't know, I think I prefer black... what do you think?
I think you have made an improvement there Stefan. Yes I think the brown grip looks better than black. Nice work

If a silver and brown one was available here that would go on the credit card immediately. Sod the expense, thats the first thing ive seen for years that makes me think I must have that regardless of any other concerns.
It does look more classy though and not so "Canon" like, hopefully they are watching this thread.If a silver and brown one was available here that would go on the credit card immediately.

A brown grip might also suit some K-X colours, sad they didn't give us that options. The Japanese could chose around 8 grip colours or so

What are the diagonal lines and little circles on the screen for? Bit OTT, innit?
Yeah they are indeed strange...What are the diagonal lines and little circles on the screen for? Bit OTT, innit?
The little circles are the focus points (not AF) according the rule of thirds together with one in the centre.

Form what I understand the hot shoe can handle 200volt as well.
If you're 100% sure with the PC socket and want to use that there are of course adapters.
Most have a hotshoe fitting so you can place them on your camera as normal or because it works by a cord you can be more creative.

Thank you for your kind offer.
I been on the focus NEC show guide and lee filters are going to be there so I'm going to buy them.
As you have said "you get what you pay for" so like my studio and camera equipment I'm going for the best.
I use lee filters for my lighting so why not on my camera.

James good luck with your buy and I haven't offered you anything, just said I bought a Z-pro kit for a good price. stefan

I can't fathom why the metering is so skewed in M mode either, as it's spot on in Av.
What metering pattern are you using?I can't fathom why the metering is so skewed in M mode either, as it's spot on in Av.
If you use spot then it is quite critical at what you aim it at.

Is it available for the K20D or are the focus screens the same for the K-7 and K20D?
