Neither the Pentax or Ricoh variants come out too well.

I've had a couple in the past. Excellent value for £90. Not as compact as your 50-200 but with useful extra reach. I would say it would fair very well against it. Infact, I would prefer it over the 50-200.

One of them went for £238 plus £12 shipping (and no I was not the seller).

Perhaps I should delete this post for Mike's health!

Popped into Currys today and they are still selling the K-r at the normal price and have had no notification of this camera being discontinued.
Stigg,

Knowing their Canon/Nikon obsessions and the typical Currys salesman's knowledge about the products they sell, I would not be suprised by that!

Excellent. Are these taken with the Siggy 150-500?

Good quality rubber hoods are readily available. John, would one be better than a JJC in your opinion?

And very nice to, good sharp shots, were they captive?
If they were wild then these shots would be remarkable (speaking as a 'birder' and knowing how difficult these birds are to locate). A really nice set Paul.
