Hello Mark, welcome to the forum!

I'm sure you will love your new K5.

There are quite a few Scottish members, and in fact there is a forum meeting in Glasgow in April if you feel brave enough to join us all there .

Is this scheduled at all, or even anything more than a rumor?
I'm an avid reader of the Rumors section on Pentaxforums but I haven't seen anything mentioning this (some people talk of a 400mm though).
Just wishful thinking I'm afraid Nicolas.

An extremely good price

Someone bite his hand off...quick!

I guess the HSM version has devaulued these somewhat, shame as I hoped to swap mine when Pentax bring out a DA* version of the 250-600 and drop the price to under a grand
It is a shame, especially because, as I understand it the original EX, non HSM, is the better lens.

I fear by the time Pentax bring out that lens your Bigma (and mine) will be worth very little due to chronic old age

I bought my daughter in law a Panasonic DMC ZX3 for her Australia trip. She wanted something light and easy to use. The photos I've seen on her Facebook page have been excellent.

Page 30 of the manual tells you how to set it. If you don't have the manual you can download it from Pentax.

Basically turn the flash on and slide the sync mode button to two triangles and a flash symbol, as opposed to flash symbol two triangles, which is leading curtain sync (or normal mode).

The i10 is very popular with other forum members.

I have the RZ10 which I am very happy with. Slips nicely in a pocket, has lots of modes which are easy to access and choose and a good 10x zoom. The colours are a tad garish but I actually really like my green one.

Edit -I've just seen Daniel Bell's review of teh RZ10 over on e-photozine http://www.ephotozine.com/article/pentax-optio-rz10-15396.

John did a review of the i10 over there too.

Well I am now four new radiators richer, and will shortly be a whole lot of Euros lighter.

They have fitted all the radiators, reconnected and replaced half the pipework under the floor, and put a new exhaust flue on the boiler. They were here at 07.15 and left at 16.50.
Not one cup of coffee or tea was required and the three of them (two above ground, one under the floor) worked their socks off.

I am impressed.

So how many of you will be tucking in to Haggis tonight and reciting incomprehensible (to us Sassenachs anyway) poems?
