Actually, that is a lot of fungus...

I am finally leaving Edinburgh this Monday night.

You will remember, or maybe not, that I've been "promising" to leave since winter last year.
I've lingered on, scribbling away on the thesis, stretching my resources, my mind and my stamina...
Now the time has finally come. I'm sending the thesis to my supervisor on Monday for a final read and I'll submit from Portugal.
It does come as a relief, although I am conscious that there is still the Viva to come, together with the continuing hunt for a job.
I am very sad to leave Edinburgh, and in this economic situation I don't think I can afford myself the luxury of confining my search to one city or even one country. If I could, then Edinburgh and Scotland would be it
I will look for a job in the UK though, and hopefully I'll find one.

Of course I have no intention of leaving this forum!

You might have noticed a lot of activity in the classifieds lately, as I tried to shift my stuff .
The trimming of the collection was brought upon, more by monetary and logistics reasons than anything else... its allot of stuff to take back to Portugal.
Hopefully, I will use much more the few lenses I am taking with me.

I regret not having met you guys, I hope I'll have the opportunity yet. You have provided much entertainment and information and made a Pentaxophile gear head of limited skills a very happy man.

50mm taken, 135mm as well.

Tamrac:

The kata has smaller versions 3n1-10 and 3n1-20.
The Tamrac has a smaller version, the Aero 75.

Its small. It snuggly fits a body and a kit lens.
Its kinda of like the one I have here:
https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/get-off-my-arse-19562/p-0#comm_208972
but without the outer pocket.
I'll sell the camera and instructions and bag for £20 shipped.

Two bags:
Small blue holster bag.
Old obra soulder bag, good for extra equipment or a body and two lenses.

Good point. But easier to get a proper load distributing bag than changing the desire to take lenses and more lenses and a tripod and filters and spare batteries and lunch, and jacket and...

The Tamrac does what you wnat except for having a tripod holder and still looking like a camera bag.
The kata can come with a tripod holder, but the "other stuff" compartment is smaller. Still looks like a camera bag.

The National Geographic ones look less like camera bags, but if you use a tripod with, it becomes a camera bag...

I wouldn't buy a shoulder bag for heavy loads, especially when walking about in the countryside.

SRS has the DA L for £159 shipped to forum members.
Park cameras has them for £140+shipping a bit less.
LCE has them at the same price as Park cameras.

Sold.
