There has got to be some significance in the fact that both you and Barbara (Gwyn) have returned to the fold as you both live in Holland (Netherlands). I haven't a clue what it might be, but welcome back.

Good to have you back Barbara.

The 60-250 is an awesome lens, you'll love it.

Good luck and stay safe. Personally, I'd take a decent compact P&S with plenty of batteries and memory cards.

For product shots, mostly lenses to sell on ebay, I use a light tent and as many flashguns as necessary to light the object, 3 or 4 usually, and all wireless.

The lightent is covered in a light, white fabric, the flashes have stofen diffusers on them. Put some distance between the flash and the object and it is really diffuse.

Floodlights, or worklights, use tungsten halogen bulbs, usually 300 or 500 watts, which get very hot after a short length of time which could make for an uncomfortable working environment.

This seller calls himself 'lenscentre' now but he used to trade under the ebay member name 'pentaxuk'.

I've had dealings with him that were somewhat less than satisfactory.

It's sometimes a good idea to check the dates of postings.

Kris went to Romania in July 2009. I think he's back now.

Good news then. That was probably the best solution but do update the firmware when it's convenient.

Danny (Unlocker) had lots of grief with at least two early K7's and he had little choice but to return them for a refund. The issues he was having were fixed in a later firmware update.

I would use this product for cleaning film.
