Some of you may wish to sign the petition on the No. 10 website about the excessive road tax that we will all be paying as from next year, unless the government can be persuaded to do another u-turn.

I recently bought a Sigma 70-300 APO from them (now sold & have the new 55-300), no problems whatsoever & no tax to pay - delivered in 5 days from HK. The obvious thing to check is warranty, the lens I bought was supplied with an international warranty card

Why no tax to pay :

PS) Has anyone purchased anything from this company? Their price is rather good for the 30mm I am after.

A Hong Kong based company, whcih is not immediately obvious on the website.
Thank you Hyram, thought there would be a catch!
Before I bought my latest lenses from Chris @ SRS, I stumbled across this website and thought that there had to be a reason why their prices are lower than any others, so I searched around the site and discovered the small print

I am busy working away on Weekly Competition No. 47 - the only problem being that I do not know what the subject is

Finding a compact with a viewfinder is the hard bit, if not almost impossible these days.

My advice would be to bite the bullet and take the K10D.

I would not want to visit a country as interesting as Canada without my K10D and a stack of lenses

Make sure that you have a camera case that is 'cabin compatible'.

I sent a mail to srsmicrosystems (who seem well thought of here)
to price a kit with the K10d body+Pentax 18-55+Pentax 50-200+
memory card but no word back as yet.
I have found that it is generally quicker to send Chris @ SRS a PM via this forum or to use the telephone.

The best time to telephone SRS is slightly before 9.00am just before all the 'punters' suffering from LBA pour through the door

Chris should also be able to give you a price to include the Mark 2 kit lens - apparently better than the Mark 1 version.
