Nikon has raise his price quite a lot around the world, don't know by how much though and sigma went up quite a lot the beginning of the year.
Pentax really is playing catch up in the UK and the weak pound isn't helping you.

And to be honest the UK had great prices till a month ago, 20% difference with the prices we had here so you had your fun and now it's our turn

Alright thanks, will be looking further then

Btw Paul with "few pounds/euros more" you mean twice as much right

George thank you for telling me the age of your Bowens, had in mind they didn't last that long, around 15 years, so didn't saw it as an investment.

These are taken with the Z-pro GND filters.
It really isn't my type of photography so don't comment on the photos and yes the horizon isn't straight with one






So do you see a colour cast or not?

Depends on how you see it, it has make things easier to import and travel to other EU countries right.
Probable in some time most systems will be pulled in one line so that more is possible.
Also if countries keep resisting then it will take longer indeed and there is always a country against a proposal. Maybe they need to give the EU more power but then you get something like the US is and we don't want that right.

We are talking about camera prices here right, why you pay more for the K-7 then we do

Hold down the menu button when turn the camera on and you should see the firmware version.
You need 1.3 I believe

Of course you need to protect your own market or not?

Hi-Tech is a part of Formatt. I ain't so sure about their holder though but the filters should fit in the Cokin holder as well so let me know how they are, Simon

Don't know Martin but have the idea it's the later one though.
If UK had went for the Euro they would have the same price as the rest of the EU or do you think differently?

The FA43 is also 3 times the price George, so I'm not surprise it's better.

Well I was trying to be funny Nigel
But yes indeed I've read a comment to fast again

Here are the kits with the K-7 the shop offer if you're interested link
And yes seem to be right but also US shops body only are sometimes more expensive then with the kitlens

But Martin our prices still seem very normal here compared to what is happening in the UK, thats just absurd.
The prices also went up here but within reason so to say, 10% or so not almost doubling what seems to happen in the UK.
