Yes Algi, I for one have a few UV filters in 49mm size. They'll be on eBay soon.

Sorry I can't offer them here first, but when I sell for other people it's incumbent on me to get the best price possible.

The FA* 80-200mm cost almost £2000 when released, so a serious lens.

The FA* 28-70mm f/2.8 cost around £1000 IIRC, so another seriously high quality optic.

Title amended.

Please stop derailing Classified Ad threads. These are for the buying and selling process only, not for debates about pricing and suppliers.

Thank you.

Badged as is? Pentax have factories in various parts of the world and they make things.

Of course, companies as such don't exist. They are a group of people and those people make up the company. (I'm not talking here in the legal corporate sense.) If Ricoh buy Pentax and keep all the Pentax employees and all the previous Ricoh ones leave, would the resulting company be Pentax or Ricoh? It would be called one thing and actually, for a while, be something else.

As for how I see it panning out, I have no idea yet. I'm not fretting about it, but I am shooting more images and having more enjoyment out of photography. I'm quite happy to watch and wait and see.

17-70mm and 70-200mm plus the 31mm f/1.8 should be fine.

In fact, although the lens line-up may be different, all the suggestions so far are the same in principle.

I would be taking my 18-135mm WR lens, plus a fast lens such as my 43mm f/1.9 - this would cover most of what I would expect. I would probably have the 55-300mm as well, just in case.

It's raining here, so no meteor showers for us tonight.

Facebook style you mean?

I'm not sure I've seen any forum software that does that?

They do, it's called "Mark as helpful"......
