You have posh T-shirts if they have tails .

I have never cleaned contacts. It would never occur to me to clean them tbh .

Yes Doug, I think Snootchies agrees with you. He made a mistake in grouping you with the other two. I agree with you in any case.

I saw that too Mike. I hope they are wrong.

I guess we must wait until the 20th/21st/22nd (depending on which rumour you read) to find out the truth.

Hear hear!

I am happy with my lens collection. No LBA here.

I didn't go for the K7 because I couldn't really justify it (or afford it:wink.
But now the other half is buying me the camera for my anniversary/birthday/Christmas present, so I might as well go for the expensive one .

Seriously I shall go for whichever suits me best. It may yet be the K-r tbh. Whichever one it is it will have to last me a looooong time.

If I had been happy with the K20D I would have kept it and wouldn't go for the new model. I am not someone who needs the newest of the new always.

I am hoping the K-5 will just suit me better, size wise if nothing else.

But there again I may still go for the K-7 or even the K-r now some of the niggles over the k-x have been addressed. Since I am currently camera-less it will be one of those three. We shall see.

Tease!

HG 20the September. Get that alarm set .

i_Berg I hope you are right. The K-7 took a long time to reach most of Europe. We are very low on Pentax's priority list.

I shall be putting in an order for a K5 asap.

HG you should consider getting it repaired. Baumatic will almost certainly either do it for nothing, if it is just around the 2 year mark, or at a greatly reduced cost.
The law is on your side on this one.
If they don't offer a discount on the repairs then start getting cross with them and vaguely quoting EU law, etc. See if that has an effect.

Electrolux repaired my washing machine for 25% of the actual cost of the repair because of it's age. I didn't have to press them at all.

There will certainly be no more sneaking a new lens into the collection now .
