Im confused, if it had no bids @ £250 start price last time round i think its pretty obvious its not seen as being worth that in the current climate.
Why have you relisted it again @ £250 start?

K20D will finally be with me tomorrow.

So im looking for a few lenses.

Pentax Equiv of Nikon, Canon 50mm f1.8. (Im not sure what it is but i guess there is one.)

Any other Bang for the Buck lenses you might have, i havent a clue about them so be patient till i do some research.
Someone mentioned a 135mm ? but theres a few different models out there.
Basically just let me know what Primes you have.

This is a very interesting thread, the initial question "will pentax disappear?
Of course they will and their lines will be branded Samsung same as Sony did with Minolta.
As for Pentax not releasing more models well that could very simply be due to the fact that Samsung are quite visionary in markets and possibly decided just to consolodate at this particular time rather than invest millions in new models.
I would not be surprised to see Nikon being swallowed by Sony in the furture. You just need to take a look at the 52 week share prices of the companies concerned.
Pentax has hardly moved, canon and Nikon have seen massive share price drops and in all honesty i think this is partly due to them having so many models for sale at a very shaky time.
Canon and Nikon need these new models to hit the ground running and that just is not happening in the current climate.
As for Jessops, well they have been the masters of their own downfall. I was in the Glasgow store the other week and it was like shopping in Russia during the Cold War.
I asked about 3 different cameras and what bundles they could offer and the saleman basically said what was on the shelf was what they had and tbh that wasnt very much.
I think Jessops will eventually keep 2 or 3 big stores and bin the rest.

In the end these are not times for expansion of ranges but more of consolodation to ride it out and see what happens next as i believe there is no one in this world could give you a Best Guess as to what is round the corner.

Cheers for the advice guys.
Theres been a delay in me buying the K20D as i had my Debit Card cancelled due to a fraudulent transaction and for some strange reason because my CC is with the same bank the cancelled that to but should be sorted by tomorrow morning.

Oh..Almost forgot.
Do i need to buy an adaptor to use the Older Pentax Lenses on the K20D as i notice its different from the K10D

Bit the bullet and ordered a K20D plus 16-45 f4 from SRS, it asked where i heard of them and said this site but there was no where to enter my username.
Anyways on to my question.

What are the Bang for the Buck Staples in the Pentax range of lenses?
Will be looking for a 50mm Prime obviously but are there any other top performers out there?
Mainly interested in Manual Primes.

Can you PM me a rough asking price m8, just so i know as a little over £500 for a new one with kit lens seems a decent price.

In all honesty i think it would have helped if you had put prices next to the lenses and avoided the "PM me with offers" as a lot of people see that as trying to bump the prices up by playing people off against each other. (Not that im suggesting that was your plan)But if people see prices then they can accept, counter offer or see thats its out their budget.
Just my tuppence worth.

Cheers for the advice, i had noticed a severe lack of used 20D's.
I will do a bit of research into the "Getting kit fixed if there is an issues" problem also.
What the best price you have seen New with Codes?

You basically hit the nail on the head with the Inconvenience comment. You see i think thats been my problem. The better Glass i bought the more i seemed to be relying on the camera and glass when in fact what i really wanted was to push things to the limit and see what i could achieve.
