Just checked my purse - not even €3 in there so sorry can't add to the unlocker wants a 600mm fund I'm afraid.
7kg! man I would need a servant to carry it for me. That is more than your carry on luggage allowance on some airlines nowadays, and I surely wouldn't want to check it in

the 50-135 is stil high on the wish list. I just missed out on one a couple of weeks ago. I thought I had it then then seller accepted a higher bid
Meanwhile I'm happy with my bargain Sigma.

Yippee! My bargain Sigma 10 -20 has just arrived!
I spotted it on a local internet auction site (Marktplaats) on Thursday and it arrived just now.
€350 for a brand new lens! I am happy. It should be a great lens for our trip to Arizona and New Mexico in May.
It (almost) makes up for missing out on my 50-135*.

They are stunning, but I'm not sure NASA will be very happy having them on a website like that - they are all NASA copyright.
My husband used to work in the space business when we were in the UK and we still have many friends who work for NASA. We used to get fabulous photos from them, from amongst others the Voyager missions but also from the shuttle missions.
I framed many of them, including an early shuttle one, when they still painted the tanks white - it looks like a modern Taj Mahal.

Well done Jonathan, fantastic photos. I love the second one especially.

And when I tell my son you have seen Habib Koité live he will be rally jealous!

Oh and Happy Easter to you too from a snowy Holland!

Have a day out in Urk - you may come away with more than a battery charger

Can't help with the charging time but CameraNu have a Hahnel charger that is also 12V - http://tinyurl.com/2dvmvc

Edit - they also have the K20D at the cheapest price in NL at the mo I believe.

Kodak self service print machines can read them too. At least here in NL they can. Not sure that a lab can do though - they use different technology.

If you have the original receipt it shouldn't be a problem.

I have just bought one of these too . Brand new, for €350
The shop doesn't normally stock Pentax. They'd ordered it specially for someone who never collected it, and now are having a clear out. I'm hoping it is a good one. The postman should get it to me just after Easter I hope. Makes up a bit for missing out on the 50-135*.

I use a PC. Much as I would love to have a Mac, I have too much software for PC now, and can't really afford a Mac anyway.
WE used to have a MAc way back in the dawn of time (late 80's) but that was supplied by my husbands employer.
Nowadays he gets a bog standard laptop, which is another reason for me keeping the PC. I am going over to a new one shortly as this one is less than reliable now, poor ancient old thing that it is. But it will be a PC again.
If you can afford a Mac, like the Mac and have all the software for a Mac go with the Mac. If you want pure oomph then go with the PC.
If you want a virus free life go with the Mac!
