I don't really think this is helpful - how does acting in deceitful way put things right?

Perhaps bear in mind that the Distance Selling Regulations do not apply to private sellers, only to business sellers.

As Gareth well knows, we do not discuss moderation in public, but any queries should be raised by PM where they can be discussed. In this thread we have half a tale, but I'm not being drawn into a discussion about that.

Suffice it to say, if every offer on the web were being flagged up here in case someone wanted it we would have madness and nobody would see the wood for the trees. In addition, Classified Ads is for members to offer items for sale and to flag up their wants, not for links to commercial sites offering items for sale. They can do their own advertising quite well.

Members also get aggrieved when items are flagged up in competition to their own Ads, so this is a complex issue that needs watching.

This is a complex issue that needs careful consideration.

I've been asked how we use these bags, so here's a couple of pictures:

The extra insert that we have put in the centre area enables the camera, with lens attached, to be stored vertically and lens down. It also gives room for more storage of lens hood, batteries, etc.

Not sure I get that, have you quoted the wrong bit?

I wonder if to some extent some of us are forgetting the very significant advantages that Pentax does have, but if the K5 continues to build on these it will be strong in the market place.

I see ergonomics and colour rendition as two of the major Pentax strengths.

Gareth, I'll let this stand, but you have been asked to express your concerns by PM, which is still under way.

The best advice is too late - don't mess with lenses unless you know what you are doing and have the right tools for the job.

I'm surprised there is fungus in a 55-300mm lens as they have not been around long eniough to expect that. Are you sure it's fungus?

To save the lens now a lens repairer would seem the best bet, but it may not be worth what it would cost.

Change of forum - clearly no longer a Classified Ad...

Perhaps there's nothing quite like this fine community for the other marques?

Those are indeed pinch points. They do, as you suggest, push traffic into confrontation and sometimes individual drivers get quite aggressive in asserting their right to go first. The result is sometimes a clashing of vehicles.
