How about trying B+H in New York? They have a UK contact number and i hear that they delivery very quickly. Don't forget to take into account any import duties and VAT that you may have to pay on delivery.

I think a sudden upsurge in worldwide demand for Pentax-fit lenses has caught some manufacturers out. Add to that the two aforementioned robberies and Sigma may well have been knocked back a bit in terms of availablity.

The alternative to fast lenses is upping the ISO, a technique I use quite a bit and which gives good results up to 800 and tolerable reults at 1600, with the K10D. The K100D could be better for this if the lighting is really low.

What sort of focal lengths would you ideally need and what sort of exposures do you make?

How about 2 camera bodies with a wide zoom on one and a tele zoom on the other?

My best bargain purchase in filters had to be buying new B+W 67mm filters at a camera fair for just £5 each.

They are beautifully made with heavy brass mounts and would be well worth the full price.

Nice shot. Glad to hear you had a good time.

That's only half a tale, Kim C! Spill the beans, what tripod was that?

If you go with the Pentax 50-200mm you will have a super quality lens at an incredibly low price. See the AP test when the magazine is out on Tuesday.

Your two lenses would then also have the same filter size (52mm), the same handling characteristics and the same colour balance.

There's a lot to be said for staying with Pentax lenses.

Hope that helps!

I think we can let a Samsung User in!

I recognise the places you have photographed. North Wales has so many fantastic spots to visit.

Welcome to the forum!

I wouldn't think this is a cause for concern. Depending on where you are and what the supply chain is, your K10D could have been despatched from the factory some time ago.

This will be true of all digital cameras, well, all cameras and probably most other non-perishable goods.
