Mine is ready, but I'll keep it in the dark, for a while.

Might as well kick off this round.

Hi all, I didn't know that there is a fortnightly competion, is it open to all? I couldn't see it under the competitions tab along with the weekly comps.
Thanks
Caz
Only criteria are to comply with the theme, take it specifically for the competition within the designated time frame and use a Pentax camera
The Weekly Competition started off life here in the forum and this one is a relatively new idea.

Hmm. It looks as if my fifth attempt to buy a DA 12-24 has just gone for a burton and it got me thinking.
I'm sure 99+% of the esteemed members of this forum are trustworthy, but by the nature of photographic goods there may be large sums of money involved.
What sort of precautions do other members take when buying/selling here?
I have worked on the basis that if someone has posted for a while, then hopefully everything will be o.k.
You also get a feel for the vendor during the exchange of PM's.
If someone joined up as a new member and their first post is something to sell, then I would give it a miss, although they could, of course be the most honest person on the planet.
