Thank you gentlemen ... I just needed some help and confirmation regarding some of the previous answers and threads. But then .. you are quite adept in making a relative newbie to this board very unwelcome. I'll move off your board. Apologies. Rev Lewis Coward
So Now you know.
Wouldn't hurt to stick around though...

I just logged on this morning to congratulate you guys on an awesome games!
I didn't expect any Canadians to be present for another 24hrs at least (hic!)
Crosby you legend!
Hopefully we Brits can rise to the challenge in 2012, you only have to look at the national pride in Canada to realise how worthwhile it is for a nation to get together and put their backs into something.
that machine is dripping awfully slow this morning, each drip sounds link a clap of thunder....

I've just done some sums.
I'm looking at ultrawide lenses.
In the UK the pentax 12-24 is quoted at £900 (US1384) and the sigma at £400 (US$615).
It is cheaper for me to fly to f*ckng Canada and back from the UK, buy a Pentax lens there, than to buy a goddam lens here.
What sort of GP do these dealers make on this stuff?
Why are we being ripped off so much in the UK, is it the Yen exchange rate?
Stupid.

the 16-45 on a k10 with battery grip (gets most use).
and the 100mm 2.8 macro on a k10.
Foe wedding ceremony and formal portraits session...
then 10-17 goes on one k10,
and the 50mm 1.4 on the other k10
for the speeches and reception.
so my advice if you need a long lenses is the 100mm macro, or the 50-200 zoom if money is tight.

I sincerly hope this idea isn't taken uo by Pencaniks (new terminology:wink not at least for the forseeable future, I cant see EVF's ever been able to match the optical quality of a Pentaprism, imagine trying to compose and focus a detailed macro shot with an eye straining flickering viewfinder.
What if at the touch of a button you could switch the evf to "Night vision"mode for focussing manually or af in total darkness?
what if you could select viewfinder grids to aid in composition?
what if you could zoom in, and magnify the viewfinder for fine focus?
Could happen...
and what if a dlp mirror on chip design replaces the mechanical shutter and mirrorbox?

He found the woman guilty of shooting with a substandard camera, and punished her accordingly.
She'd have got jail time if she had said "Pentax".
