It's been running for a few weeks now, what do you think?

Not for sure, but maybe the focal length quoted is just an average, as focus distance can also change it as well as zooming. Zoom lenses are very complex things.

Pictures of the actual items out of the boxes would also be helpful.

A dreadful turn of events for all concerned and I've been thinking of the tragic knock on effect for so many families, especially those where people have lost their lives. But also, it must have been very traumatic for those trapped on the airfield, especially the youngsters.

Black with a tinge of orange sounds good to me.

It depends how flush you are feeling. If you could afford it, buying a 55-300mm might not be too expensive, would enable you to keep shooting and would be very sellable if you need to when you return.

I think it's unlikely a repair could be done in time.

The K-S1 is currently on offer at Selfridge's at £299 including a bag. The three alternatives are the "sweets" colour range. Still love that Lime Pie!

The new 1.4x is the first converter I've been completely happy with, it's the one of choice.

Without straying too much from the point, whether or not we can see a difference will depend upon the monitor. There are now monitors that can encompass virtually the whole Adobe colour space, which would have been impossible a few years ago. I use sRGB, which keeps the gamut fairly close to what the best IPS monitors can show.

I think we've all made a few useful comments in this thread about handling colours, hopefully that's been useful.
