Can I just say that I have just completed a purchase of another lens with Barrie and found him excellent in all respects to deal with.

Thought you would like the focus peaking Darkmunk!

Visiting the 'new' website looks like 'more of the same'! Identical lay out and uncompetitive prices (at least in Pentax)

It's not just that prices are going up but that there are new categories of parcel shipping. So a lens that I sold today in the Classifieds is currently £3.65 First Class Signed For while it will be £6.75 next Tuesday.

Not sure where to place this but those selling & buying might like to know that there are significant changes which will make quite a difference to signed for & parcel rates. Perhaps John could place this as a 'sticky' at the top of the page for a couple of weeks.

Good luck with your purchase of the K-01. Some impressive shots on that website of yours. Having lived on Dartmoor (Yelverton) for 11 years, I recognised a few of the locations for your outdoors section.

How are people finding staring at a screen instead of a viewfinder?
My eyesight is getting a bit long so I never use the LV on the K5. Does this mean I would hate the dedicated Live View on these cameras?
I think that will be a very individual thing, but I am now in my sixtieth year with 'iffy' eyesight. I prefer the optical viewfinder on my K-5 but enjoy my K-01 immensely and especially focus peaking on old manual primes. The K-01 has been dismissed too easily in the past and is now a real bargain. I have just started a flickr account and 5 of the first 6 images loaded are taken with my k-01 and 40ltd. The link is below.
