A few weeks away yet .
Have already been e-mailing Chris for help and
advice. It was just an observation. There is quite a spread of prices when checking round and up to now SRS was best deal.
I like to keep abreast of prices ..I am a Yorkshireman after all

These were taken yesterday with my K-7 and WR 18-55 fitted. A quick 3 miler around the Caversham / Thames area. Travelling 'light' hence the WR lens

It's not a bad little zoom, a bit soft at the edges at 18 mm dependant on aperture. At the long end it also benefits from a bit of stopping down. Certainly great value for money
By the way the Heron was taken at 55mm f11 and cropped quite a bit. All the rest were at the wide end.

No, don't try to wind them up, even gently. There's no point and someone will escalate it into an argument.
