I would write it off as an art purchase, most artwork goes up in value under the right circumstances...I wonder if the photo's value as art work would go up if the original artist was to die. A horrible, disfiguring, make the evening news type of death.

possible chinese knock offs?
I worry about chinese knock offs.
I fear going outside right now in case a chinese stealth fighter will malfunction and crash into my car... lol!

When are we going to see an in depth review of the 18-35mm WR?
Possibly by your good self?
Kindest regards,
Peter.
here's my mini review, as posted elsewhere :johnriley wrote:
It's an attractive range and the WR is a useful feature. If it is better than the 18-250mm then it's absolutely good enough. The 18-250mm is not at all a poor lens.

I think the only sensible way for Pentax to offer FF would be if they made a digital LX. Same basic size and weight, WR sealed, and aimed at people who don't like the fairly massive bulk of the current FF offerings. Otherwise they'd be turning up late to an already saturated market.
The predicted 25mm lens for the 645D is a much better idea. I suspect 645D sales will increase as more lenses become available, and this sounds like the perfect lens for the landscape photographers the system seems to be aimed at.

But more medium format lenses between now and then....
I wish I could afford the 645d, but cannot at least this year...
now an apsc- or ff evil is more likely.......

Of course it's of interest. This looks like the first improved wide angle for the 645D that was promised from the start.
Personally, whilst FF is njot a big enough jump upwards, the 645D certainly is. The only problem is affording it.
Sony is dumping ff from its lineup. Poor sales.Of course it's of interest. This looks like the first improved wide angle for the 645D that was promised from the start.

Interestingly no-one has mentioned that the upsurge in "rustling" and the theft of fuel/heating oil are now becoming a scourge of the countryside - whilst I in no way want to take the side of the farmer , I think as has been said it could be just an overactive defence mechanism kicking in !
Either that or he is the refuge for the next Great Train Robbery !

Just one request...
Please keep signatures brief. Some people here now seem to have sigs that are longer than a lot of their posts.
And to be honest, I often don't bother to read them because of the sheer visual impact of all the clutter.
It's really not hard to have a brief, unobtrusive sig in a small font.
I wish there was a "ignore sigs from this user" option in the forum
had that happen to me yesterday... somebody asked me if I hadn't read their info in thier signature..Just one request...

He's playing on peoples greed for a bargain and bringing ebay into a position of ill repute, surely they should give the buyer his cash back and ban the rip off merchant!!
