Pentax seem to make some very nice cases but they're a bit spendy.

Are there any cases in a similar format for less than the cost of a week's groceries?

Ive got some very cheap neoprene pouches from China which are excellent but some lenses are a tight squeeze.

The pentax format is preferable but at £60 a pop, they seem ripe and deserving of a chinese rip-off.

Yeah, this is true from my (limited) experience:




Second ever pic I took with the lens after this fella tried to mug me on the way home from picking up the lens from JohnX! Apologies for the tiny DOF but it's my 2nd lens after the kit and I was desperate to try out f2.4.

1200bhp! 20% more than the Bugatti Veyron.

If I use a forum a lot, I like to subscribe - I feel a bit cheeky scouring the classifieds and asking a million dumb questions otherwise.

That said, isn't this a bit off-topic. If I'm buying a product I don't base my decision solely on the views of owners of that product - I look for independent reviews, or the views of owners of the product who also own a competitor's version.

Coming on PU and crying about having to pay for a review that wouldn't be the most useful is surely like trying to buy flights from the florist and complaining that their £20 bouquet doesn't have an in-flight meal.

I'll take this one please. I'll PM you.

Well I say "Project"... It was apparentlyfrom the Bauhaus course, and meant taking 2 pictures of contrasting qualities, then a picture including both.

The book's The Image by Michael Freeman.

I've had a K-5 for a week. If I were you I'd probably do the deal SRS Microsystems are offerering on the K-30 - I went out and bought almost everything they're bundling in with the K-30 and so it represents a big saving.

I love the K-5 but I suspect I'd have loved the K-30 and for the price I think the deal's unbeatable.

Thanks WOodworm. I think I've got the pricing right. But I much prefer the look of the K-5 and I've already forked out for spare battery, SD card, and replacement strap so the bundle would have been handy but right now isn't quite as appealing.

Gonna stick with the K-5.

Gah! So should I return the K-5 and 18-55mm I just got for £750 (£670 after rebate) and get a K30 for £10 more?

Considering I'm just about to pull the trigger on Photoshop Elements...

Thanks for all the replies. David, that's the sort of post I was hoping for!

Algernon, that's not the sort of post I was hoping for!

Food for thought.
