Damn wrong box!!

It's Batteriekorb 45-39 for the CL-4..

As I mentioned on TP - what about a Metz AA battery holder? I do have one so I can get a reference...

NC-BATT 45-40 Artikel No 000045405. Holds 6 x AA batteries...

Might be easier to source while you search for the power cable

Was that smile because he was being electrocuted, or is he powered by electricity?

Pentax D100?

Ricoh cheaper than SRS????

for the D-FA*70-200 - I paid £1500 at SRS - Ricoh price £2299!!

Got mine from Microglobe for £199 just before prices shot up....

Some people don't like Microglobe, they sometimes can come up with deals such as the FA35 for £199 - people query whether it is genuine UK stock - but a lens like the 35mm should not need any warranty claims..

Great for a walkabout lens, and I love the hood.

Ricoh have a sale on at the moment for lenses, so for the HD and SMC FA 35mm f2

HD-FA £399
SMC-FA.......

D-FA* 70-200 f2.8. So I now have the 'Trinity' - 15-30, 24-70 and 70-200. These replaced: 12-24, 16-50, 28-70, 60-250 and 80-200.

Next Black Friday I will complete the set....and get the 150-450

Since posting this.... I did buy an FA*80-200 to complement the DA*60-250, and since the K-3 was sold I was in an odd situation that I preferred the the DA*.

So, both went in a box and passed to a man in a red van on Monday morning who returned this morning with the D-FA*70-200/2,8.

It is bright, it is HEAVY, and it dwarves the D500 &80-400 (actually about the same size if I am honest but the 80-400 is not a small lens)....

So, if anyone wants an FA* it's sitting on a shelf in Watford.

Just jealous about the BIG PENTAX lettering on the lens hood

I enjoyed my *istD when I had it - became redundant as soon as I got the K10D, unfortunately the *istD fell on a concrete floor which limited me to just JPEGS until I got it repaired...
