Total auction scam, it works by paying 87p to bid the price up by a penny each time. So an item that has an auction price of £10.00 has actually cost people £870 in 1p bids, the winning bid then has to pay the final bid price too.

These sites tend to have a short closing time which when gets to the last few seconds a bid miraculously appears which resets the timer.

Maybe the Nikon user is happy with his gear and doesn't read camera / photography magazines...

There will always be those who switch systems at the drop of a hat for the next best things, and those who plod on with the brand they're happy with..

Pulled back to around 275mm set sr to 450mm but turned it off as the first images where looking a little shaky and I was using a monopod to steady the whole caboodle...

First chance to use my tokina 100-300mm Pentax AF 1.7x combo in an arena situation. Lighting was not good for both artists.

Kelly Clarkson was shot from the soundboard which was around 3/4 to the rear of the Manchester Arena, which I estimate approx 200 feet from the stage!!!

Pentax k-5
ISO 3200
f/6.7
1/320

I think there needs to be a little tweaking on the af as they where a little soft.

Support band Coverdrive from the pit usual 17-50 50-135mm combo

I've never moaned about what pentax do or don't, I've wished for stuff like the FA primes being made into a plastic fantastic version like the da 50mm or 35mm.

My own situation has changes significantly. I an wanting to do football and to do that the agencies will only accept images from canikon so unfortunately I can't wait until 2014 for ff, but the mkiis will be good for my concert work.

Great set but love 3 and 4, Brest processing and tones too.

Well I think it's great Pentax are finally going to release a FF DSLR. Cabstar, is just the sort of person I would predict would buy one too

I admit I'd like one to stick my A50/1.2 on it as the feild of view would be great ( I've always wished it was an A30/1.2

But I won't be buying one for while. Too many lenses with a smaller image circle for starters. I also like to have two identical DSLRs for shoots, so I'd have to buy two and I won't be able to afford it.
I might do, but I am watching the falling price of the d600 with interest. My next body is going to be the k-5 mkiis, I've got a currys voucher to spend so soon as they have it in stock my order will be in...

More importantly - can I just register my immediate interest for all of those wonderful lenses you own that will no longer suite you.

I am anticipating there will be such a deluge of them available that you will all want to virtually give them to me for nothing or indeed swap them with me for the stash of old FF lenses I have been saving for this momentous occasion

I realise this was tongue-in-cheek but I would hope Pentax have a similar mechanism to the other marques that automatically senses when a cropped-lens is added and changes the file size.

But it may actually increase the price of older lenses. After all many may realise that they can use old manual lenses to their full potential again!
I don't think legacy glass will o crease in value for ff if they get the lens lineup right at launch 24-70 2.8 70-200 2.8 for a start. There hasn't been that much of an increase in 645 glass has there
