Are there any 'long' 'Series A' manual focus lenses.

There were. Mostly quite rare now, but manual focus lenses up to 2000mmm were manufactured.

In the A series alone, these included: 200mm f2.8, 300mm f2.8, 300mm f4, 400mm f2.8, 400mm f5.6, 600mm f5.6, 1200mm f8.

I suspect that price may include the £70 Cashback - something maybe worth checking before you buy.

Doesn't sound like you've been to North Wales John, it depends how much rain you're talking about

Until the end of 2008 I worked all over North Wales, as far down as Aberystwyth. Once or twice a year flooding was so bad it made getting home rather tricky...I've seen plenty of rain in North Wales!

However I live near Manchester, and we don't get much rain in Manchester....

Unless both cameras were using exactly the same lens (on a T4 mount, perhaps), such comparisons are surely invalid.

Very true. It would be a neat trick to put professional lenses on one choice and kit lenses on the ones not required to win....

Whilst it's entirely possible to take photo's one handed clutching a brolly in the other

You need an Assistant to hold the brolly...then you hold the brolly in turn for her when she wants to shoot an image and you become the Assistant. Otherwise, it can be tricky!

Your figures agree with the maths Mike.

We know that Nikon and Canon have lots of lenses, many of them specialised and expensive.

But there are still plenty of Pentax lenses, more than most of us could ever hope to need, and many more than say Olympus or Sony.

As if by magic, it now says weekly...

We usually leave these threads as they give the sellers a record of feedback. You have successful sales logged here, which is good for next time.

I think you need to contact Pentax with all the relevant details. Cashback does work, but there's always the potential for it to go wrong in individual cases.
