But.................

Chris @ SRS is only asking £499 for the K10D + Pentax 18-55 + Pentax 50-200
I have agreed to buy the K10D with MKII lens from Chris.
When the Samsung comes I will keep the 50-200 lens and sell the body and 18-55 on Ebay brand new .. should clear what I paid on that from what I have seen.
The 50-200 will then owe me nothing.
All is clear now.

K10D - a very wise choice

Good luck with your new kit.

We look forward to seeing some photographs from sunny Spain.

Sorry, I am slightly confused.

What have you ended up with and which bits are you then selling :

Im pretty much set on getting the K10D but thought was a pretty good deal.

Accessories Included : Twin Lenses: 18-55mm and 50–200mm Schneider Kreuznach, lens cap, dust cap, strap, cables & software drive
worth buying for the lenses alone and selling the rest on Ebay?
No

The camera is not worth anything (or very little).

I think that I have realised what your secret plan is :-

Get into the Guinness Book of Records for the maximum number of posts before actually buying a camera

I have lost track of whether you have any existing Pentax lenses, but whether you have or not, at least get on and order a new K10D before there are no more left

.. where it's usually full of people in sportswear who you know are never going to the gym. The process, however, is simple. You go to the list, look up your choice, write down your choice on a form (with a stubby little pen), then take it to the counter and pay. You then watch a TV screen until your number comes up, at which time you go to another counter to collect.

Sound familiar? Couldn't be more like the bookies if they tried!

You forgot the need to take a large brown paper bag with you

Very nice, Clarky, and I think your first one proves my long-held contention that the moon isn't made from green cheese.

It's quite obviously a petrified orange. You can see the segments clearly, and the place where the stalk joined the fruit.

I think you are right - NASA has been 'blagging' us all along

Nice shots.

We only had 'snowrises' over Easter

This week's competition entry by Belinda B. sums up Easter over here for me

Bear in mind that they are selling it with the 'old' kit lens not the Mk 2 version, which is apparently better.

So unless you phone to check, you could wait weeks or months for something to actually come into stock.
I got my 18-55 II in a couple of days.
Excellent I am not knocking their delivery times, which are fine but just mentioning that items on their website are not necessarily in stock and it is definitely worth telephoning to check, thereby avoiding possible disappointment
