To be fair Jules, whilst some have increased in price, some have reduced.
It's never a stable situation and prices move up and down all the time.
The SDM's have all shot up most by a hundred quid or more, except for the 60-250 which has gone up double that. Don't get me wrong it wouldn't dissuade me from buying any of them but it will make me look at the competition more and no doubt make do with less in the long term, which may be no bad thing. I think the 10-17 Fisheye has stayed the same and I am thinking about one of them but wondering how much I'd use it since I have the siggy 8-16...
I think that SRS may not be getting cut the same deal as they used to be by Ricoh, which makes sense as they are trying to reach a wider audience with more stockists, which makes it up to the indidviduals to cut each others throats...

Guess I'll be getting what I need from the classifieds then...

He talked sense and had enthusiasm Chris, without any silly antics and time wasting.
Blunty seems a bit of a personality, but no worse than anyone else with a strong personality. He's keen.
Personally, I wouldn't call it a review, it was unalloyed gushing, and any kind of review that doesn't at least comment on the biggest achilles heel of Pentax cameras, namely the AF, calls into question the attention to detail of the rest of the review.
The Camera Store one was just as enthusiastic, yet tempered with enough objectivity to remain believable.
As an example of something really annoying, try to get thru this guys Vid.

From Roger Cicala of Lens Rentals Fame (Look it up!)
"Glad to see the review.
At least he liked the K5 and DA*300
"Yesterday I took a K3, D7100, and 70D, each armed with a 300 f/4 lens out back and took a dozen shots with each. Came back inside looked at the images for 10 minutes, and placed my K3 order immediately. It wasn't close."

These look great Jules, very clean. Do you think the K-3 has a warmer colour balance than the K-5? I think it does and I like it.
Regards
David
So far I'n loving it, I'm still feeling guilty about parting with my K5IIs, as I'd have liked to have run em together, as you are doing...

Blunty is pretty much your average straight talking Aussie, fairly articulate but very much with his own driver, wants to get his point across as quickly as possible and not afraid to use six words when two will do.
I like em both, you really have to try Spiros to appreciate what annoying really is, I just want to break off every part of him that keeps moving which is pretty much everything!
