We have to move with the technology and if Pentax don't then other manufactrers will.

The backwards compatibility has always been the best and I suspect it always will be as good as they can make it without compromising progress.

You should be getting sharp pictures now. What you seem to be missing is a longer telephoto zoom - jumping from 70mm to 300mm with nothing in between may be a bit difficult and restrictive.

My choice would be to leave the 300mm at home and buy the Pentax 55-300mm.

Travel light and take lots of pictures whilst still being able to enjoy the trip!

Those product shots aren't very sharp, can't be using a Pentax...

Gentlemen, Ladies, etc., when my Sue looks at this forum you need to explain that everything is prone to sudden failure, requiring instant spending on a replacement.....

I thought we all understood the process...

Here's an interesting one - a response to the Micro Four Thirds system with a new lens mount.

As the K10D works just fine and delivers the goods, I don't feel the need for a new body just yet. Lenses are much more interesting at the moment.

However, as and when the K10D fails then I will be straight on the phone to Chris at SRS to buy a K20D. Hopefully by then the price will be dropping.

The Fuji Finepix 9600 takes CompactFlash and xD cards.

Torn between one of these and waiting for the Sigma 150mm.
Torn between one of the best macro lenses in existence and a relatively cheap Sigma?

I know someone who bought one of these new recently, and for a lot more than £250.00

I can't believe that JohnMcD actually wants to sell all these great lenses.....

Which probably equally applies to all organisations and groups of people.

Pentax make white lenses too. Very bulky long telephotos potentially expand and contract quite a bit in the heat, so white reflects heat....
