Why would any body wont to buy a water proof lens. Dont you know waters bad for the skin, it depleats the natural oils, dont wash for a month, go in to the woods sit down and wait for all the wild life to come sniffing around.
Result, great wild life shots.

I would like to bet that these lenses will be still as good in another 30 years, how many AF lenses will still be good in 30 years.
Who cares Bill, in 30yrs i will be food for the flowers half the people on this forum will be taking shots of (just remember that you whipasnappers)
Just be thankfull Pentax made such great lenses back then.

I bought mine off amazon from a firm called E-COMPATIBLES its called JOOX and cost a bit more than the Hong kong ones at £3.99 it appears to work with any PENTAX. Tried it last night with the K-R and it worked fine, i was sat in a chair and i looked like JABBA THE HUTE,
Happy Christmas

I would suggest taking the camera with lens attached into a camera shop and asking to try it on a monopod first,
I should point out the "Bigma" balances on the monopod quite well due to its own tripod mount, with the 55-300 you will have to have the monopod attached to the camera so the balance may not "feel" right.

One other suggestion Dave, fill in your location in your profile, you may find offers of 1-1 assistance if there are any other PU members in your area. no need for your address, a city or town will suffice.
Getting to a camera shop can be a bit difficult (USE A CRUTCH TO WALK DUE TO A BIKE ACCIDENT) i need to park close to the shop.
I will give your other idea a try after the holidays, i mght give PC WORLD a go can park out side.
