I use a GPS logger and have no problems with a 24hr clock. the program I use to add the GPS data to the exif is Locr (www.locr.com) and that requires that your camera is on exactly the same time as your computer.

I am not making up rules. I am expressing an opinion. That it is not shared by others is fine, but this is a forum, and as such provided I am not being rude or offensive in a any way I am, as a member, allowed to express that opinion here.
I have done that but I shan't bother in the future.

I have no objection to people advertising their gear here but I feel this posting is an abuse of the forum. He is already advertising on e-bay so why place as an opening post something for sale here other than to get a free ad?
If he had introduced himself, even within his ad, it might have been a bit better.
And then to get people joining just to respond to the ad, and placing their e-mail addresses on an open forum is also a bit odd to me.
Sorry if it comes across as mean spirited, but that is how I feel.

It is still a weird first posting, especially as he already has the items listed on e-bay. I have no idea how e-bay works to be honest as I have never used it but surely if they are already listed there then he has to sell them via e-bay?

This is a forum, not a market place, after all. This posting has attracted new members who have only signed up to find out about what he has for sale. I hope they will become active members but I have my doubts. If they were lurking and were only inspired to join by this advert them the chances of them taking part further are slim.

Instead of putting e mail addresses on the forum it would be much better to use the PM (Private Message) facility.
It would also be good to know where the OP is, and whether he will send abroad, given then international nature of the forum.

If I wanted to shed weight I'd leave the Sigma 24-70 behind - it is a good lens (I have one too) but it is heavy. If you really want lightweight then only take the kit lens and the 50-200. Better still invest in an 18-250 and take only one lens. That's my plan in the future I think, certainly if I'm flying.
I have learned from my mistakes of lugging too many lenses around. The challenge is indeed to make the best of what you have with you.

Sounds like you have the makings of a North Wales Pentax group there.

This is all Greek to me - or maybe Double-Dutch
Not a Tolkien fan as you may have gathered.

What can I say, Gwyn,

Short 't', the e's are pronounced as in 'echo', the j as the first part of 'you'. Does that make any sense?
Thankyou Terje for that! I love the name and can now attempt to say it properly.
A friend changed his name from Gerrit to Gerry when talking to English people as they couldn't get their throats around the Dutch "G".
And my grandson Merlijn gets lumbered with Merlin when my relatives talk about him. Mind you I have had some wonderful pronunciations of Gwyneth since I've been in Holland

Normally, I spell my name Terry in English, because the Norwegian Terje seems to be rather difficult to pronounce on the other side of the North Sea.
Completely off topic - how do you pronounce Terje then? I would guess at Tairyuh (approximately - I'm basing it on how I would say it if it were a Dutch name), but I know that some letters are pronounced differently in Norwegian.
