Just as long as the hotel doesn't have bedbugs, and it's not a Jewish holiday so I can also visit B&H

Quality was dreadful, the lens wasn't parallel to the film plane and the film drifted in storage so frames overlapped.
Apart from that, a fine bit of British camera design!
Sounds like another fine bit of british engineering - the Land Rover I used to use a Kershaw Penguin, when I was but a lad, and it saw me shoot my roll of film every year from ages 8 to 11 I guess.

Does anyone make such a beast?
Do you mean 18-125? Or 12-24?

No view finder but the new Optio RZ10 with a 10x zoom is a very nice little camera. It is small, but it feels very comfortable to hold.
It will be released soon I am assured .
Without you spend a lot you won't find a compact with a "proper" viewfinder I fear.

Re your comment about focus performance - was there very much difference between the new lense and the other one you tried:
The new lens was lightning fast. Shockingly so for a Pentax .No Gwyn, I am in a genuine quandry. I could be just finding the reasons for not spending the money
Re your comment about focus performance - was there very much difference between the new lense and the other one you tried:
I didn't try the 60-250, someone else did and he said it was faster on the K-5 than on his K-7. Still not as fast as the new lens though.
He wasn't allowed to put the new lens on his camera, but could put his lens on the K-5.
If I had realised I would be able to play so much I would have taken a lens along. And made sure I didn't lose that SD card. Luckily it was only a 1Gb card so not a significant loss.
I know someone who is going on Sunday and he is taking a couple of cards with him and wants to try out the K-5 and the 645D. If he posts some photos I'll ask if I can link to them here.

So congratulations on the news of your new addition. Hopefully the due date won't be too late.
