They will deliver to Eire, which is Eurozone, but not the rest of the Europe, or the world.

Stefan K'berg also have it for a similar price, €719. They have the 60-250 for €1089. CameraNu is slightly cheaper on that one.

Shaky, good to see the "Pentax will fold soon" school of thought is still alive and well .

We went to a summer party on Saturday, in a friends back garden. You could tell it was a summer party by the coats, scarves, fleeces and woolly hats being worn .
Several different bands played, including two my husband is in. I took lots of photos, some with flash, some without. The flash took away from the atmosphere a lot, but meant lower ISOs, so less noise.

Anyway I particularly liked this photo.

Taken with the 50-135* @108mm, flash used, slightly cropped.

As for a 500mm prime, I hear Pentax are releasing a 500mm f1.4 that means we all have to pool together and buy one except for paulyrichard who will be too busy snapping the rest of us
It would have a front element as big as a manhole cover
And we'd all have to pool together to carry it too.

Enjoy your new lens!

It's funny, I am seriously thinking of selling mine. I was so pleased to get one but I find I hardly ever use it.

I'm another one they ignore. Can we start up our own scamming service so we don't feel left out?

Forums do all the can to avoid spammers, either posting in the forum itself or as in the case by PMing people. There is very little the admin an do against this last method. They can put in a screener in so you have to type in numbers and letters to prevent automated membership trawls, but if someone actually physically joins there is little that can be done. It is possible to not allow full access to a forum until someone has introduced themself for instance, but that then compels everyone to do that, which makes a forum less open, and discourages genuine people from joining.

I didn't get the PM from the lady in question, so she obviously didn't spam everyone.

Lovely photos. May I suggest you blur out the phone number on Tessa's tag though. You never know who will be looking at your photos online.

Rabbits maybe, but I thought that was when Bunnies were most active .

Good event photos. I am surprised the red pattern focus assist didn't help. I used it this weekend with my 360FGZ and was very impressed with it.

My main lenses at the moment are the Pentax 17-70 and the Bigma. I am thinking of selling my 50-135* and getting the 60-250* which is the one I wanted all along. I can get by just fine with those three lenses.

The Sigma 10-20 will be sold shortly along with my Sigma 24-70 EX. I just don't use them.

If I could I might add the 300* to the collection, but I am still hoping Pentax will come up with something even longer. The problem with a long prime is that you can't always tell where an animal will be and if it is too close you can't fit all of it in.

Stefan, we women are quite capable of carrying these lenses - they weigh nothing compared to the weekly shopping or a three year old .
