From a short walk earlier today, pity about the miserable weather (raining most of the time).

C&C welcomed

There is also Katz Eye Optics and Focusing Screen both have a good reputation (but are more costly).
I have a screen for Katz Eye which is excellent and I've just ordered a 'K3 grid' from Focusing Screen to compare.

I agree with every one else here that unless you want to spend substantially more the DA 55-300 f/4-5.8 has to be the ticket (from Pentax).
Cheaper still is the compact DA 50-200 f/4-5.6 WR, a real bargain and surprisingly good considering the price point.

Not sure it should be mandatory but it is certainly helpful to know where the poster is located.
For example knowing which country so that allowances can be made for interpretation of etc.

I would be inclined to get it repaired. You could try contacting Asahi Photo for a quote.

Edit: I suspect John is right regarding the cost though.

Sounds like you've also been taking a course in "grooming", vjayshutterbug. You may find the chaps here are a bit long in the tooth to fall for it. On the other hand, a drink's a drink.
I'm sure this was intended as a tongue in cheek comment.... as such it might have helped to pop a smiley on the end Al

Congratulations James, look forward to seeing some shots with your new pride and joy
Thanks Huw....but in looking at some of your shots, I have a LONG way to go before I have the nerve to post some pics without totally embarrassing myself.

But, I am going to a law enforcement convention in San Francisco in a few weeks, and hoping to really give it a nice work-out. Hoping, too, to have a decent telephoto zoom by then, but might not happen.

BTW...how far is Berkshire from London? Am going there this coming fall believe it or not, and I owe you a drink or two.
You're too kind James but I seem to remember the first shot that you uploaded to the gallery was a bit of a stunner, green leaves with water droplets as I remember... very nice

Best of luck with the zoom deliberations, I often think that's half the fun of buying kit

Yes Berkshire is west of London.. about half an hour away by fast train. If it all works out schedule wise it would be nice to meet up over a beer. Keep in contact on that one
