Getting Pentax accessories seems to be a slow process here in Finland, so it might take some time to get all the adapters and cables. Apparently the delivery time for the 540 flash is several weeks!

Cheers,

It's not only Finland Teemu, I gave up on getting the cables for my flash here in in Holland. I waited three months before cancelling the order as they had no idea when they would get them in stock Being a Pentax user can be a frustrating business at times!

360 AFZ just saw this on EBay , buyer will sell for £95

How strange. It's a new seller, and he calls himself Merlin something, which is the name of a famous dog. Well, famous on this forum.

I wonder if Pete bought two.

Not unless he's moved to Scotland, instead of the Spain move he was once planning.

Sounds great but a day trip to Brum is a tad expensive for me -rather save the money for my K10D

My copy has finally landed on the mat - I even managed to beat the dog to it too. Looking forward to reading it now.

Is that the airside price, or also in the landside shop?

This happens all the time here. My local shop, listed as a Pentax dealer, has no Pentax DSLRs in stock and point blank refuse to get them saying they are inferior, buy a Canon, or if you must a Nikon. Practically every shop I've been to for Pentax equipment, except one, has taken this attitude. I ended up buying my Ds sight unseen from the net.
The exeption was the camera shop in Alberquerque, where I went in wanting to buy a Canon (in my innocence) and came out with not one, but two(!) Pentaxes (one for my son), having been totally convinced by the guy there that this was the camera for me. If I ever get back there I will give that man a kiss!

Ok several of you now are the proud owners of K10Ds. So tell me does it produce sharp photos without the need for postprocessing or not? Are you really really in your heart of hearts happy with it and if not do you dare to say?

Several reviews I hve read have said it produces soft images, and not only with the kit lens. There is a heated debate raging on another forum about this, mostly between people who don't own the camera of course.
I have even seen two advertised secondhand as the owners were dissappointed in it!

I don't have the money for one now but need to know whether to continue saving for one or to blow the money on a holiday instead!

I think only the D allows the popup to trigger slave flashes.
