Sounds like Ricoh take over will do some good for Pentax brand. The chat has been a positive one. K-9 is fine, but going by the set trend, K-3 seems obvious and sensible. Regards, Jeeess

Hi Mark, Superb shots....too impressed....regards jeeess

As someone had pointed out, Ricoh are not buying Pentax to kill it. I dont see a good reason to change the Pentax name as this is an established name.

Hi Blaze, Yes, i have used this lens. I had it for about a week and returned it. I find sigma 28-300 a much better lens. I bought sigma as i could not afford the tammy 18-250. The tammy 18-200 is not good at all....pictures are not sharp....too soft to say....that's my view....regards jeeess

Hey Karma,

I am really liking your IR. By now you would have kindled the passions of many in this forum for IR. Good job....

Hi puma, 3 first and then 2 for me. Great shots. Regards, Jeeess

Hi Jeff, Nice question and a nice reply too by John. First part of the reply is very important in the philosophical/spiritual angle. Our mind keeps making images all the time and we take them for real....that too with out a camera....regards, jeeess

Hi friends,

I have for sale my Pentax-K7 with Pentax 18-55 WR lens, a battery and a charger. Just around 700 actuations. As new. I bought it from a canon loyalist. Its a great camera but I want to upgrade to k-5. I have no box, receipts, warranty etc as i did not get these from the person i bought it from. Can inspect before buying. My asking price is £ 575. I have, after buying, attached a UV lens filter and lcd protector.

Also on sale is my Pentax-k10D with Pentax 28-105 silver colour lens, with two batteries and a charger. In very good condition. Its shutter count should be around 15000. I am asking £ 250 for the k10d.

No guarantee please as i am not a shopseller. Can inspect the cameras before purchase. If both are taken by a single buyer i can give for £ 775. This is my lowest price. For collection only from London. Pl PM if interested.

Regards,

Jeeess
