Clarky,

How do you decide between using the Pentax D-FA 100mm macro and the Tamron 90mm macro :

I would be interested to see a photograph of your 75-300 to see if it is the same as mine.

For free delivery from SRS, just tell Chris that you are a forum memeber and give him your forum name since many here masquerade under strange pseudonyms and have even stranger avatars

I thought that baths were used for storing coal

Whilst on the subject of cellars, I have not seen a photograph of George's wine cellar yet

There is something draped over the saucepan stand

With only one entry so far, there has been plenty of time to look for defects

It does seem vulnerable but the lens cap is a nice fit.

I feel that it would be a backward step not to critique all of the entries.

I like to see each week what has been said about my entry in the hope of learning and improving.

I have not personally had to judge a competition but was on the sidelines when Belinda B. judged the "Wildlife" competition and I can see that the judges, as well, can learn much from the process.

I still feel that ending the competition at midnight on a Sunday could be improved, since this means either a very late night for the judge or trying to complete the judging on a Monday, when many are attempting to "earn a crust".

I specifically asked Chris, on behalf of my colleague, for a price for the K10D + the Mk 2 lens. The price was more than for the K10D with the original kit lens, so you have not lost out

Chris is normally happy to offer permutations that do not appear on his website. It always worth e-mailing him or telephoning.

My work colleague has finally ordered his K10D + Mk 2 kit lens from Chris @ SRS.

He had been sitting on the fence for months trying to decide between Canon, Nikon, Olympus and Pentax (in alphabetical order).

He wanted to join this forum and participate in the competitions etc. and I pointed out that he could not really take part if he did not own anything made by Pentax

He also likes the idea of being able to ask me "How do you .............."

No problems at all.

Go ahead now before they have all sold out.

SRS had the bodies only at a slightly lower price but will now only sell a K10D with a lens.
