A bit late in, but let me just add how much I like your bird shots. They're just sumptuous, and belie the obvious effort that must have gone into capturing them.

Of course, it obviously helps to have a fiancee that can clearly charm them out of the trees. Can she train my other half to do that?

Indeed... and when they sort that out, I'll have the lightweight, DA* 10-500 Ltd F1.4 for £150

So here are two DA 35mm Pentax primes up for grabs.

Bought from Amazon recently - I bought four, gave one to my Dad for Christmas, I was planning to sell two and keep one. So far I've sold one.

However, things have been a bit tighter than expected recently, and it's looking like I won't be able to shift my FA50 any time soon

So I'm putting both the remaining DA 35mm lenses up for sale. They haven't been taken out of the box yet, so they're as 'as new' as it gets.

Before sending each one, I'll check that it works Ok, and if it goes wrong before the warranty expires (12.12.12) I'll do what I can to sort it out with Amazon.

£98 (each!!), by bank transfer please. This will include everything that comes new in the box, and delivery by RMSD.

I'll sort out pictures over the weekend, but you know what it will look like - lens, box, caps, packing, etc etc. Imagine it mint, 'cos that's what it is

I feel it's only fair to draw potential buyers of this lens to the current deal at Jessops.

Who knows how much stock there is at that price, so I'm not formally withdrawing mine from sale. However, I wouldn't feel comfortable taking my asking price without at least ensuring that people are aware.

I'm sure it would. You live very close to me, so I'd also knock the £6 the RMSD would cost off the asking price. I'll drop you a PM.

I've taken a few pictures of it...

The lens caps haven't come off yet - I'm keeping it as pristine as I can until the pre-packing test.

Happy to consider offers.

No, it's always worth posting, and thanks for that. Though perhaps you're overreacting a little.

If nothing else, it keeps people in the mood to keep the pressure on, such as it is. There's far too much Pollyannaesque acceptance of Pentax and what they do (or not), and far too little in the way of Pentax customers rattling the cages of the powers that be.

Understatement of the year to date. Interviews like this are worthless. In fact worse than worthless. They raise hopes, only to dash them again.

They clearly think we're all idiots. I hate this kind of crap.

If you want geo-tagging, get an Eye-Fi.

Much cheaper, and not bad for accuracy if you're reasonably close to a wifi network that broadcasts its SSID.

No good in the middle of nowhere, admittedly, but still quite handy.
