Hi John
Thanks, I have just purchased it from SRS via ebay, they had 2 on there still at Black Friday price, so I decided to take the plunge, soon as they are gone they will be £400 dearer.
do they????

Many tempting offers, but I will have to hold off for a few months before spending again.

If I didn't have the DA* already...and if only Pentax/Hoya/Ricoh would reproduce the grey paint and Pentax in large bold black letters on the newer lenses I would be seduced.......

Pramath is a top bloke - he's replaced the SDM on my 16-50 and currently has me FA*28-70 for repair.

Lovely chap to speak with. Free short term parking at the Albany Parade.

Do you also need to speak with Divorce lawyers?

I have seen lens comparison tests where Pentax loses points for not having SR. But these are only of value in comparing lenses which fit on your chosen mount; are you going to change brands because a slight difference in a lens review? I don't think so. I now favour magazines which concentrate on photographic results not geeky obsession with kit reviews.
You pay £5 for a magazine - you expect them to get it right. Incorrect detail or something just missing changes the perception of a lot of people to brands like Pentax,Sony and Olympus...

I have my magazines sent to my parents address (legacy of having lived abroad) and so that my late father (who introduced me to the K-mount) could have a read...

I pick up my Practical Photography (sometimes good items) and have a look at the item about the sharp lenses under £1000 - three Pentax lenses on test - the 100WR macro and the DA*55 being 2 and the last one being the FA77. Apparently, the 100 macro was the only WR lens in the test. HELLO Practical Photography - DO YOUR RESEARCH!! the DA* lenses are all WR... Plus there is a mugshot of our esteemed PUT member.

I throw the PP down and pick up Digital Camera. It does a test of all wildlife lenses....guess what's missing... Doesn't help if Sigma or Tamron don't cater for Pentax at the moment but the message comes across that Pentax doesn't cater for wildlife...

Time to start saving money I think
