Just had a quick look at SRS website, if you click on "more info" fr the body only or the body and grip there is nothing listed about cashback, however if you click on any of the body/lens bundles it displays the cashback offer ad.

Sorry quick edit....

...That is body and PENTAX lenses bundles, obviously the cashback wont apply to bodys purchased with other marque lenses.

As far as I am aware the £100 cashback offer applies to any lens thats offered as a "kit" with the body.

They would be packaged seperately.

Its all Georges fault

Welcome to the forum Dan

I have used unsealed lenses on the K10D in the rain with no adverse effects to either, I did keep an eye on how wet the lens was getting and paid particular attentions to wiping it dry occasionally, especially around the lens mount, but to be honest the lenses I used were to a point expendable, ie not worth a great deal.
If in doubt I would go with Heftys suggestion.

Lovely shots. I agree with Prieni on...well, everything.
Well I dont

I think the first is a bit......ordinary, the sky is urghhh and needs cropping out and its crying out for a focal point in that field, but dont worry I have hundreds like that I think a lower viewpoint looking up the irrigation ditch would have made a better image, totally cropping out the sky in the process.

The second is OK but its nowhere near as good as the third shot and to be honest putting the two together just totally puts this one on the discard pile.

The third is very nice (I wish I'd taken it), the background is nicely out of focus while the subject is nice an sharp, I do agree that the white blob has to go

The fourth is good too, ignore Prieni, you can never have too many DAMSELFLY shots (Dragonflys fold their wings at rest :wink the background is a trifle distracting but I reckon if your of a mind to do a bit of cloning or darkening down then this shot is the best of the bunch

What an unusual bird.Never seen one before
I think they migrated from the UK just after PUNK went out of fashion, took the hairstyles with them Anyway we have several species of pigeon left so plenty for you to have a go at Tracey .

Nice shot but I would consider cropping it, the bird is too central. I also think the lighting looks a bit flat and it needs the levels tweaking a bit, I thought you only had sunshine in Oz?

Nice shots (as always) Clarky, I really must try the reverse lens technique myself.
