My daughter has given my wife and I our first grand child, its been a challenging last few weeks, besides my daughter living 1000kms away, she had a very difficult birth, the baby was fine but my daughter was quite traumatised by the birth.

At last she and the baby have been allowed to come home after 10days in the hospital and the wife and I will be able to get back home after 3 weeks away, What a relief

Heres a snap shot of little Cailyn Grace

Let me know when the 24mm is avialable Mike, I may be interested if the price is right. cheers.

The DA-L version of the 55-300 does not have quick shift either, if I am not mistaken.

Have a look here,

67mm lens cap arrived, thanks mate.

I have one, in fact I have 2, but will keep one of them, Its new and never been used, comes in its original box.

I am away from home at the moment, and will not be back for a couple of weeks, so I can't post it right away.

I can let you have it for AU$40 + AU$5.00 (25quid approx) postage from Australia.

Let me know if you are interested. cheers

I don't know why but I kept thinking of Hefty when watching that sorry mate

I know what my wife would do, she would keep them, They would make good companions for you. Cute little fella's

We have 3 cats and they have all ended up in our pool at some time or another, we get frogs in the pool and the cats love chasing them. But they manage to get them out, very wet but none worse for wear.

Have I missed something Pete, Why are you selling your gear. :: K7 maybe

Good pickup Kris, There is an A version of the 1.2 lens going for US$400 (£245)on another forum at the moment, which has been sitting there for a week.

I love grabbing those bargains where the seller is unaware of the value of what they are selling. I'm always on the lookout for them.
My latest acquisition arrived today, Pentax MZ-5n with AA battery grip, Pentax F shutter release, lowepro toploader Z2 and a Pentax FA 24-90, its in mint condition, only the lens cap missing. £60 for the lot.
