I have resisted temptation this time round....perhaps I should enjoy my 150-500 Sigma a little bit more.

Sorely tempted by the 150-450.....

this offer for the whole weekend or just tomorrow Chris?

Now, if only Pentax could produce a camera with those looks (and size) nd the Sony APS-C sensor, they could out-retro the Nikon Df with much more fanfare

Not a big fan of microglobe are you? I have bought items off them with no issues, however, both lenses are unlikely to present any long term reliability problems. If it was a camera body or exotic lens I was after then I'd go to Cambrian or SRS.

And Mannesty wants his old one back, the one he sold me....

that looks like a really nice example - good luck with sale (got one already )

the tipple has toppled...doesn't help in so many, many ways

or images of the MZ-D

Pentaxians group on Farcebook seems to have decided the camera is called K-1

Nothing on Ricoh website...

Pentax/Photorumours and Cameratimes.org have 'confirmed' it's K-1

Nothing on Ricoh website.....

Google K-1 and you get the MZ-D bodied MR-52 6MP Philips sensor camera from 2001

Some sensible people on there ask about upgrade paths...other says Pentax will go the way of Canon and do Marks. Forgetting that Nikon differentiate their range to denote different 'expertise' levels.....

Whatever happens people will be disappointed, there will be frothers...

Sounds like our friend 'Pirate'...
