One minor question, why is the fortnightly competition held in the forum section and not in the competition section of the gallery?
A 'quirk' of history

Originally the Weekly Competition was in the Forum but was moved when the website was revamped.

The Fortnightly Competition was started after the revamp and has remained in the Forum.

p.s. best not to ask questions about the revamp

I have one and used it a lot back in my film days, mainly for architectural photography (together with my 28mm).

I have not used it since going digital.

I would say the bargain K20 new from SRS.

I rather fancy the FA* 600 as a portrait lens

It seems to depend on where you bought the camera.

Mine came from SRS (UK) and arrived with a full English manual and a lot of software that is still in the box.

It would be useful to enter for the feedback - see if Daniel sees the same things wrong with it as I do. So I might enter it. However, it's still a bit cheeky, isn't it? "I've won, how lovely, now I'm off on holiday, bye!" .

I'll decide later today, so there's time for people to object rather than encourage me to enter. Having seen the high standard (as ever) of the other entries, this is probably getting very hypothetical anyway...

A pistol grip for me.

Mine easily holds a K10/20 with the DA*300 at any angle.

I had a similar speck on a Pentax 55-300mm I bought a few months ago from SRS, but because it was working OK I didn't bother returning it. I'll think twice about using them again though, mail orders should be inspected.

You won't find a better place to buy photographic gear so you will be on hard times if you have decided to think twice about using them again

If you consider it to be an issue, why did you not contact them :

Returning to the OP's question, I agree that the extra £10 route would appear to be the best option.
