I think I would pay the extra just for the 2 year warranty

Is the k-m a good enough camera to make use of the difference between all these lenses? ....not that I can possibly justify getting a new one
Absolutely, the K-m is a very capable camera. I think given your comments about likely use the 55-300 looks a good way to proceed

Fitted my new Katz Eye screen today. Must say it's really very nice (read very useful), takes me back to my film days
I went for the OptiBrite and AF area brackets in the end (the inner brackets roughly line up with the rule of thirds positions). Only very slight negative is that screen sits a little to the left but that doesn't affect it's operation or usefulness. All in all highly recommended.

As Ken says it's down to the 35mm image being 'cropped' by the smaller dimensions of APS-C sensor that gives that 'apparent' change in focal length.

An extremely good reference site for all things Pentax (especially lenses) can be found here link

I guess size is a personal preference thing but I like that with the K-7 you can go 'small' with just the body and prime or go 'large' with a DA* and balance it nicely with the grip.
Handling wise I find either approach top draw

Nice one Huw, don't know if it's better then the one of father Ted though.
Thanks Stefan, I agree Ted's shot was excellent (I assume you mean the one in the gallery)
