but think of the dosh you get for it.

Thanks for telling us about your carpet shoot Ken. I, for one, enjoyed reading how you approached it.

Oh and I like your avatar .

I see the K-r will have focus points illuminated in the viewfinder.
And interestingly a Li-ion battery with an adapter to take AAs.

More news on Thursday.

I hope the K5 isn't as big as the K20D I just got rid of. And I also hope that available in October 2010 really means October 2010, and not only in Japan.

Due to be announced the day before Photokina starts.

I read somewhere the KR will be announced next week already.

Dream collection?

The new body tba soon, assuming it is as good as everyone hopes. Otherwise a K7. This dream will come true.

For the rest I am happy with my current collection of lenses.
Maybe I'd swap my 17-70 for a 16-50* just to have the set of * zooms.

Possibly the 100mm WR instead of the Tamron 90mm.

And a real dream lens? A 250-500* Are you listening Pentax?

Now where did I put that lottery ticket .

If you are looking for a macro lens then have a look for a 2nd hand Tamron 90mm. A great lens for a good price. You will only need a small lottery win for that one .

Ah! Ashford in Kent. Not on our way to Selling sadly.

When I searched on Chalfont St Giles it told me my nearest branch was in Edinburgh.

Searching on Amersham says there is one in Chesham which is more like it.

Please can we have Waitrose in the Netherlands? Preferably in my town .

We used to shop at Waitrose when we lived in Wantage. Never get to one when we go over now - everyone has a Tesco on the doorstep, and I have no idea where the nearest Waitrose would be.

I shall have to do a search.

We had rib eye tonight with baby potatoes, mushrooms and salad.

BBQ sausages (home-made but not pork and apple) with BBQ veg tomorrow.

No idea what on Sunday - something from the freezer probably. Ran out of inspiration at the supermarket yesterday, didn't have a car today, it will be packed tomorrow and is closed Sunday.

Always some soup if all else fails.

At least the car passed it's MOT (but it cost me €575 to get it through ). My son is borrowing it on Tuesday for their holiday in Italy since his car won't make it that far.

Flodder and it's sequels are best forgotten Stefan
