Until the advent of the articulating screen I wouldn;t have given it a second thought....it is useful in a lot of applications.

If the K-new APS-C appealed to me then the uses I would have planned for it do not require a tilting screen.

As long as the K-1 update retains it then that is good.

Holy thread resurrection Batman!

Sods law dictates items pack up just outside warranty... Both of my zooms developed problems.... the prime has not given up yet.

Seems the DA 17-70 lens has disappeared into distant memory. I was looking to buy one when my 16-50 was being repaired for the first or second time... tried it in the shop and it wouldn't focus. saved myself nearly £400 that day.

Didn't CardiffGareth buy one recently? I thought that was at the £300-400 mark.

It is a very unusual lens in terms of range, so quite rare...

It isn’t just SRS, it seems across the board so where others priced lenses at a similar level they have changed as well. I too use SRS as preferred supplier but sometimes use others if they have what I want in stock and at a good price, I don’t think it hurts to patronise other Pentax stockists as well although I draw the line at Amazon.
Absolutely - I buy stuff at Cambrian Photography in Colwyn Bay as well

SRSs special offers were more generous than Ricoh's, I think the last SRS offers expired mid-April and probably they still have stocks of some lenses but not all...

I got the D-FA*70-200 for a reasonably good price, not as good as I had hoped but got a good trade offer which I couldn't resist.

But I will wait for the next offers to buy the next thing, assuming the Black Friday deals of yesteryear are repeated.

Welcome,

I also have fond memories of Vancouver Island, we stayed in Tofino and Victoria for a few days. Would love to go back. I also liked Vancouver as well (I've also been to Couverden in NL where the Vancouver family are said to originate from).
