It is tempting to stroll into B&H in 3 weeks and pick up a K20D there

I was there last month, beware; a trip to B&H can seriously damage your wallet, the place is fantastic.

Thing is would you get decent advice from the other stores? if you use SRS for advice surely it`s only proper to buy the occasional thing from them; presumably this is their line of thought.

Seems like this is turning into yet another we all love SRS thread. My problem is that on new equipment i like to support my local, independant, camera shop: they usually do a price match anyway. However that said if i had to buy from a distance i would probably go with SRS.
Not sure what the point of this is, just rambling realy, hope i hav`nt offended some of our more senior forum members.

smart person person would have created a pentax/canon converter and made a killing as all the canon users would just buy the cheaper pentax glass

But all converters by there nature downgrade the image. The more salient point i think would be can anybody tell the difference in IQ when viewing comparible images at A3, which is about the largest size most people would print at.

Like the strawberry, great demonstration of DOF effects.

Seems to me that a lot of people got quite excited earlier this week, would be easy to missforget a pm, particularly for a relatively new member.

$700 = £430, which gives Amin £60 profitlens, not much when you consider the hassle he has had, and remember he may struggle to move them all.

Once the original deal was off, for whatever reason, it`s up to Amin where he sells and at what price.Am bit curious as to why he has`nt offered them here though.

There's far too much emphasis on this in my view. People would do much better to concentrate on their compositional skills.

Totally agree, to quote Bresson;

Quote:
To take a photograph is to hold one’s breath when all faculties converge in a face of fleeing reality. It is at that moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy

The image will always include some "noise" but is this a problem?
