It is such a nice looking camera that I would have it CLA'd as John suggests...

But you are only shipping to UK? Sorry it's listed there rather than here, but I'm trying to reach the maximum number of potential buyers.

Well, that is about the age I started and bought my first srl. My father had a Pentax MX and that is what I wanted too. But I could not afford it and so I bought a Cosina CT1.

At 17 I guess it is not a bad thing to be able to borrow dad's lenses, wouldn't Pentax be a natural choice?

Hi, are you a Windows or Mac user? On Mac Aperture is a very good alternative, and very reasonably priced.

And I have been in your same position recently and I decided to buy an LX which was in very good condition for a reasonable price and now it is being serviced....

Bjolester, just to give you a "Nordic" benchmark, full CLA for an MX is 100 euros in Finland, for the LX it is 150 euros.

I believe they do have an iPod kit for the Auris, and you can always install an aftermarket iPod kit, there are many available. That could be a nice Xmas present.Sadly they don't make a iPod kit for the Auris.:

Today I took my son to an indoor football skills event and took my 55-300 as I wanted to be light. I regretted not taking my Sigma 100-300 as AF is just not fast enough for this type of photography. Still, I love my 55-300 and I got great pictures with it.
So it really depends on what you are planning to use the lens for.
I would probably keep both

Hi Nick,
It really depends on what you would be using the lenses for, they are quite different. The 55-300 is a great lens and very light, so very suitable for travel. But it is not a very fast lens (I am talking about AF) so I would not recommend it for sports, where I understand the Tamron excels.....
So if you need both a lens for sports/action and for traveling, I would keep both.
