none months old?

I've seen threads resurrected after nearly 5 years but I do think the original point is valid - something for the site designers to think about. Members area that we all can see and contribute to and a subscribers area invisible to outsiders - after all Nikon User and Canon-EOS have to pay a subscription to access certain forums......

My 16-50 was supersonic after its repair....

What is there to apologise for? I can see your point - I see an article and think 'Ooh that might look interesting' and find as soon as I've clicked the link it's available only to PU subscribers...

Would be better to have a members area that's invisible to non-subscribers and a banner that says - if you pay for membership these are the benefits you can get.

Ok.....

Don't overlook the fact that 'D' is an opportunity for sellers/makers to charge a premium for an item

and in terms of Pentax it means bugger all.

If I am right in thinking you're referring to the Vivitar at $124 be careful - although it might say TTL in the description IT DOES NOT STATE P-TTL so it may be incompatible with all Pentax DSLRs bar the *ist D.

subsequent Pentax DSLRs are P-TTL. Why not look for a Samsung version of the Pentax guns? there might be some available. GNs are based on an ISO of 100 IIRC - most digital SLR are native ISO 200.

Good luck with your search

I turned my OS as it's not so easy to turn off SR in th K-5 - good results so far.

not cheap are they? 86mm is an odd size and I paid over the odds (£55) for my Hoya at the weekend.....works well on the 150-500

brand new camera £20 more then the used Amazon example?

Only 700 actuations? why do I ask, why?

4 camera bodies
2 flashguns
3 vertical grips
10 prime lenses
3 zoom lenses

at least 2 pairs of spectacles with Pentax glass

If you can live without 136-200mm then you won't be disappointed by the Pentax lens....

all superb....difference is as much as 65mm, if you don't want to shoot at longer than 135mm then the answer is down to the 50-135/50-150 otherwise the 70-200 is a very good buy...

Have you tried them out? Trying them out will give you a better idea to be honest.
