Yep I couldn't believe it when the Pentax dealer offered me £100, especially when I've seen second hand 18-55mm Mk1's on Park Camera's website selling for just £25! But then I thought I'll just keep quite and be happy with the deal.
That's certainly a result, a brand new DA 17-70 for just over £300.00 when you figure the real value of your 18-55. Congratulations

Peter, I think this must be the same incident that's just been mentioned in this thread

It's not a surprise as the Sigma 17-70 is just a bit smaller than the DA* 16-50 and I get an shadow if I use the on-board flash at wide angle settings.

David, welcome to the forum
Another benefit is of course the fairly big step is resolution which gives you quite a bit more latitude to crop images.

Stefan I thought it was the K-x that's native ISO is 200 rather than the K-7

More madness..... though possibly some degree of misinformation between the security guards and the police too

Welcome to the forum Chris

You have some great shots from your recent trip to the Shetland Isles. I particularly like the landscapes, which lens (or lenses) were you using for the landscape shots?
Interesting to hear how you arrived with a K20D and also that you favour Pentax and Olympus which happen to my two favourite manufacturers

I'd be interested to know what people's thoughts are on polarisers for wide angle (or for that matter, extreme telephoto)
Must admit that I do use a 77mm Hoya Pro 1 polariser quite a bit with my DA* 16-50 and I don't seem to have any issues at 16 or 50 mm.
