....buy a used large format 5x4 for £150-200 ish... plus you have the lens movements with ALL the lenses you use on it...and they are the easiest of any cameras to use, because they are the simplest. Tricky to hand hold though...

try Ffordes dot com...

I had this exact same problem with an SMC-M 135/3.5 some time ago..

I am rarely astonished by anyones photos anymore..but these are stunning.

Two nagging points though...are they over-sharpened and are the colours over saturated?

Hi,

Any users here of the K20D with the old M series 40mm pancake?

Just wondered, what results do you get, how easy is it to focus and do you get fed up with stop down metering?

cheers Steve.M.

Cameraworld, just off Oxford St, London is about as central as you can get. They are worth visiting. They were the only ones at the recent NEC photo show with any Pentax worth having...they had a good choice, especially of the prime lenses.

The penalty to pay for any zoom, but especially these 'super' zooms is distortion, which is often very pronounced and is usually at both of the extreme ends of the zoom range...so if you are happy to have distortion, buy zooms, if not....

cheers Steve.

Hi,

You should be aware that SRS is in Watford, which is nowhere near central London and is some miles out of the centre..so you would need a special trip (prob best by train)to get to & from central london.

Hi,

The SH** has been hitting the fan for months with this one...paypal are often holding onto sellers money for 21 days in certain circumstances. I strongly urge you to go onto the ebay community forums and ask the question on there...you will get the answer within 10 mins from ebayers who know.

Use the community link at the top right of the ebay page, then click on discussion boards then click on Community Question & Answer.

I use the these forums every time I have an issue with ebay or paypal...they are very useful indeed.

cheers Steve.M.
