Saw a bloke on the tube the other day proudly holding his naked Pentax DLSR in his lap. I refrained from whipping mine out.
I recommend more breathing exercises Pete.... then I'm sure you will feel more comfortable with handling your Pentax in public

Karl, was it Camera Solutions or London Camera Exchange?

They seem to be the only two Pentax retailers listed for Chester on the Pentax UK web site (apart from Comet).

Anyway it's good to hear a small retailer is stocking Pentax

A great little lens and a real bargain at that price

Lovely images, great colours and contrast, numbers one and two are my favourites

Chris (SRS Microsystems) has no Pentax 18-250s listed at the moment.

Which is why I suggested giving them a ring. With all the turmoil of changing shops they may have found one hidden away that they haven't listed yet. Worth a try if nothing else.
Agreed, picking up the phone is the surest way

Yes he was also advertising them on eBay but I haven't noticed any up lately.

Plastic mounts are OK in reality, my old Oly kit lenses were plastic mount and I never had a problem (although I quickly upgraded to Pro lenses).

Having said that I don't think you can beat the reassurance of a quality metal bayonet fitting

Mifsuds appear to have them for £365 have a look here

Nice dilemma
The K200D has the advantage of weather and dust sealing but I think you will find that the K-m is faster focussing. The K-m will feel more entry level than the K200D. The menu system of the K-m will be geared slightly more to the new D-SLR user.

Perhaps some K200D users could chip in

Edit: Much as I think the K-m is a great little camera I think I would go for the K200D as I'm a bit of a sucker for build and weather sealing
