Errr, Peter, I dont think he is unhappy with it, did you misread the post???

comsport, if your happy with the Sigma 18-125 then buying the 18-55 may be a bit daft, certainly consider the 16-45 if you think you would use the wider angle that it offers, it is reported to be a very nice bit of kit, if you do a lot of landscape then its probably a definate requirement.

It seems that someone has rattled a Pentax users cage and upset him,

I wonder who it was?

Snap! My Paternal Grandfather hailed from Southwold, I must get down there again sometime if only for the beachut pics.

I'm weak at the knees,
I cant sleep,
I dont want to eat
I have butterflies in my stomach.......

Ye Gods!, its like the anticipation of your very first date again.

Pull yourself together man!
(slaps himself round face and casts wistfull glances at the wrapped parcels under the xmas tree)

Just got home from Xmas shopping and walked across to the neighbours, I held my breath as I waited for them to answer the door.......

YIPPEEEEEEEE! my K10D had arrived, unfortunately its now ensconced within several layers of xmas wrapping paper so I have to wait TWO whole days before I get my grubby paws on it.

So, big thanks to;

City Link for speedy courier services
My Neighbour for accepting the parcel
And lets not forget Chris at SRS for superb service

Now all I need is for Santa to get his finger out and get here as quickly as possible!

Yes Spirit, I took the plunge, and got a call today from a nice man, a very very nice man (no not the AA)* from Chris at SRS, it seems they were able to get me a "Bigma" after all, hopefully I will get 100% confirmation tomorrow and delvery for Xmas.
And Chris had matched Warehouse Express price on the Bigma, you cant get fairer than that.

To ALL users of this forum, Get your K10D from SRS, they're brill!

*apologies to non-uk users, you wont get the pun.

We wish.......

Phoned SRS today, they have my number and promised* to call me back tommorow, looks like I'm going to have to wait for the "Bigma" tho' as they dont have it in stock, oh well at least I may yet get to play with a K10D on Xmas Day!

*I think it was a promise ....I hope it was a promise ......it had better have been a promise ...but what if it wasn't

Your probably right, he has been very helpful with info and updates, though knowing my luck they wont have any free stock, plus I was thinking of a Sigma 50-500 to go with it but SRS are about £40 dearer than Warehouse Express on the Sigma, And no I haven't won the lottery, I've just not bought anything since my istD three years ago, so I'm well overdue a treat.

Big decision time.

Do I wait till Focus on Imaging as planned or do I ring SRS tommorow and see if they have any spare stock.

Cant bear to feel left out.

I could always point out to the wife how much money I would save on gas if I dont go to Focus!

Snot what it sounds like, its how it performs!
