Now you mention it, yes!

Maybe he's proud of the little fellow and decided to use him for his icon.

Or he may have found the fountain of youth, in which case, WHERE IS IT???

interesting, confusing and definitely draws a second(and third) look.

Nice one John.

Seems most Swedes I now fit this statement well.

It must be the easy going attitude, love of life and to much alcohol!

Must visit Sweden again soon, harder now the ferries have stopped from the UK.

I know what you mean bodyheat.

I would prefer Pentax glass but a Sigma 18-200 came my way for next to nothing!

Nice lens and on the camera at all times now.

If I had no kit, walked into Jessops, talked to the sales rep, then probably not.

I'd have gone for Nikon. Small, easy to use and affordable. the build is OK and lens range reasonable.

As it is I did this 4 years ago in Harrogate, tried Nikon canon and Pentax.

Guess which I bought, with (then) good advice from the manager?

I did have several lenses which helped...

As a side issue I was talking with a Jessops Manager recently who said he couldn't understand why his company had severed all links with Pentax, he wanted to sell Pentax cameras being less than happy pushing low end 'inferior' canikony bodies onto people.

I think he's looking for another job!

Aren't Pixmania owned by a French company?

If sowhere are they getting the K7 from?

Is it cheaper in France?

If you decide to change, Bodyheat, do it quickly. The D300 seems to have been dropped by Currys, along with Pentax(for some reason!) and the one you've seen is probably a local managers deal.

You could just wait a month or two and then get a K-7 and18-200 when prices drop.

Ah yes, the cheap Pentax flash scam!

How we laughed Kris....

About time we got real pictures of real things, not just magazine stuff.

Nice one Clarky, as Darkmunk says, push the envelope, or shutter button!

Hmm!

Pentaxuser P.L.C anyone?

Register for VAT, order from Sweden....

Or just wait until the rush is over and the price drops and the K8(?) is announced....

Yes Chris is a member.

As for cheap adaptors, some have a flange on that stops the lens sitting flush on the camera mount, result, loss of infinity focus.

I have one which I use for a CZJ 35mm for close up stuff, totally useless beyond 3 metres.
