The Pentax 18-55mm lenses are actually very good, especially when stopped down. The WR is an added bonus.

You've summed up the reasons for wanting anything else.

Crikey! Hidden in a disused loo in the basement with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Crocodile" then.....

That's the Display Department.

It's Wednesday and no sign of last week's judge so I've posted a new weekly competition. Hope it's one that everyone feels they can get to grips with. Overload me with entries to judge!

It's worth mentioning that no fluids should be used on the sensor assembly, except to slightly dampen whatever is used as a cleaning device. A friend of mine has ruined his sensor by using liquid on it, which got behind the filter and caused blotches as it dried. Cost of repair was enormous. It wasn't a Pentax camera by the way,

The K-S2 is much more compact than the K-3, so that might be helpful.

Messages have been sent. If nothing is heard by tomorrow I'll set a new competition.

PU does not get involved at all in Classified Ads, although obviously the section is moderated.

This thread isn't the place to debate the section though - please start a thread in a more appropriate area. All that should be in this thread is the buying/selling process.

The difference is Simon that we don't get involved with a for sale thread unless it's to do with the sale. If you think a price is too high, then don't buy. If you want to help a seller, then a PM stops us derailing a for sale thread.

Here a buyer is offering feedback and the seller has replied, which is quite different.

No need for rolling eyes!

This is the sales thread. Feedback is allowed, although it must be civil, and of course there can be a reply. Let's not get involved in that unless necessary.

Are these +R discs? Is your burner compatible?

If a particular make is giving trouble, which can happen, then I would stick to the ones you know are OK.
