I was the guy who had the winning bid on the 105mm.
Crazy low price

Enjoy the lens, when the weather / light is bad, I think about macro shots.

I was going to suggest to JR that he should look after his boots rather better, until I read on to see the description

I'm in a village called Yateley, North Hampshire, near the Berkshire border.

I see you have both the K10D & K20D, in your opinion is the K20D worth stretching the budget for (and I will be stretching it!)

If I go for the K20D (looking that way) I will only be able to afford the kit 18-55 MkII, does this do it justice?

Both will be a great leap from my 6mp K110D, I'm sure.
Steve,

Glad to see that you have ordered a K20D. If I had replied in time, that would have been my recommendation.

The Mk11 kit lens is well regarded.

Handling wise, the the K10D and K20D are effectively the same.

Now £745.

Not too surprising given the price of a DA* 300.

I think that if you have a very confident judge (as we have this week), it probably is not too much of a problem but if you have someone who is not too confident in their judging skills, then they may well be swayed by the comments posted.

Comments in the Competition area of the Gallery are difficult to ignore, given that they sit directly under each image.

It does all start to fall apart if we have judging by popular vote

Well, I just ordered the DA 12-24 and hope to take it for some North Wales landscape shots next week if the weather is good.
Enjoy the lens.

If you don't like it, just send it to me

The Weekly competition is in the Gallery section, not here in the Forum.

The Fortnightly Competition is here in the Forum.
