A very good set and coverage Simon. Plenty of motion/action going on in there. You have the measure of the kit your using.

Very nice set Simon. I think I may have to snag the next Siggy 100-300mm that becomes available. There's a crispness about these that seemed to be lacking in my Sigma 150-500mm images from the BSB test day.

One advantage of living in an area where Pentax is not common is that gems come up now and again at silly low prices, hence I own a 100-300Ex. I asked at the time of purchase why it was traded and was informed that the owner shifted to Canon. Even though it was bought through a shop it was priced very low due to only a few Pentax users around here and the dealer didn't want it stuck on the shelf. I can live with that.

Best regards

Sigma must pay $14.5 million due to a patent infringement on image stabilisation.

Ouch.

Let's see if there's a general price rise on their lenses in the near future?

K3 is still GBP688 here, inc tax @ 10% (refundable for visitors).

The K3 SE with grip, is back in stock at GBP847 inc tax.

Both above prices are from main importer-direct sales.

Retailers prices are as above but there's not too many around Perth that stock Pentax kit.

They will order it in and match the price but you may as well order direct from the official importer.

Best regards

I have family just moved there this year so will be visiting for a week in July.

The upside, seeing the family, no hotel fees, plenty of images to capture, somewhere different that's beautiful.

The downside, probably trying all of the beers, food and getting all sentimental about leaving....

Some ominous clouds in these Don. By the look of the grass in both, a shower might be welcome.

Most of all of the glass I have is least used as I don't take it all with me on travels.

Reason for keeping it all, I don't sell glass.

I will never buy from these, or any other company not based in the UK.

Virtually everything costs more here, we know that.
Hell, I even pay less for single malt whiskey half way round the world!!!

If we all support our dealers, then Ricoh UK will also.

Your prerogative, however, for those who live and work outside of the UK, do they risk falling foul of the unscrupulous dealers that operate around the rest of the world?

I have started to take a camera into work each Friday. My office is in the heart of the city so there's always something to shoot.
