Then the Pentax 50-200mm should fit the bill. Not too expensive new and likely to be very reasonable second hand.

Much better, at least you'll be able to last the day without the weight becoming a real burden.

I think you're carrying too much there. If you kept it light, I'd go for a standard zoom plus a fast lens. I would try to get in close, not use a long telephoto zoom.

When I've been to Doctor Who exhibitions/conventions I've used the 16-45mm f/4 without much of a problem or a need to change lenses. Even in the dark the ISO on the K-5 can be upped quite a bit without quality suffering.

To be fair, there is a free camera on offer, which could be some incentive.

The price has fallen considerably already. The only thing that stops me buying one right now is a lack of the £6299 to do so. There's nothing I could justify it for unfortunately.

The further things are away, the worse it gets, or the better gets, depending on what we are trying to do.

I'll be interested to compare notes Ken!

I've had a quick trip out today and have made a new blog on ePHOTOzine. Here's some of the pictures:

It's new territory for me, so I'll look forward to some more experimentation. It's looking as though having something in the centre of the frame, the only sharp point, could be the best way to go. We'll see, but I'd love to hear what you think?

The K-3 is 200,000 isn't it?

However, it's academic for me and many others probably as we tend to upgrade long before that. Even on digital 100,000 is quite a lot of exposures. My K20D is only up to 12,000 or so, although I do intend to use it till is expires.

JPS are the official Pentax repair house, but there are others who might be able to help you.

Asahi Photo and Harrow Technical spring to mind.

If you have an issue with a company, better to take it up with them directly rather than make comments that are in danger of going too far.

As you've written it by the way, libel is the danger, slander is spoken. So do please be careful that you restrict yourself to facts.

Many people have dealt with Microglobe, no doubt many without any problem whatsoever.
