Apart from zebras. "Think zebras, think concrete, think monochrome."

I almost bought one of those. Return it to Amazon. You just follow their online procedure.

Well done again. The 50-135 wins for me. 7 is terrific, great timing.

Really well done. The first and last are excellent. I saw a bit of it, that goal by the Kasabian guitarist would have made MOTD goal of the month.

Crucial point by Ken on the focusing distance. A teleconverter will allow you to photograph a skittish butterly, tubes will allow you to photograph a dead one in greater magnification. So the answer is you need both of course.

Thanks Mike, I can't do flash like you experts, I just wait for a cloud.

For wildlife work a bag with the the 100macro, 300 and the f1.7 gives a lot of coverage.

That's the new price at SRS. All the prices have gone up recently. Maybe Jessops have older, cheaper stock.

Pentax prices seem a bit haywire at the moment. Park have got an 18-55 kit lens for £174.

The 35DAL is £170, with the quickshift and DA status it would be difficult to see it below £200.
