Thanks guys.

It was worth the months of overtime, and even had to sell the motorbike!

Mick you must be near me, I'm just outside Hawick.

Great to have another Pentaxian nearby.

I realise we all have to make sacrifices to get what we want, but to sell your bike that just breaks my heart. I hope you don't come to regret it.

When I started to get into photography in a big way and the LBA was kicking in, my wife would say to me, why don't you sell your bike. I just pretended I didn't hear her

Enjoy your new acquisitions, I know you won't regret those.

Thats an amazing shot. Looks to be more photographers there than spectators.

Given the reported lens issues on the US forum, and as I am also now after a DA* 16-50, my view is to go buy it physically at the dealer shop and try it before walking away.

I purchased my 16-50 like that, I had to pay a little more for it than elsewhere, but i got peace of mind and a hassle free purchase.
I just walked around the store snapping a few shots. The dealer also put my SD card into his laptop so I could study the pics better.

The Metz range is AF48-1 or a AF58-1 I just purchased one of these but haven't picked it up yet.

Thanks!

Make sure you get the genuine Loc-line product though. I tried the cheap Chinese stuff they had on E-bay and its rubbish.
I recommend The 3/4inch for the larger flashes though. I have the 1/2 inch and the 3/4.
Paid about $20 for 320mm + fittings for the 1/2 and $28 for the 3/4.
