They will however be releasing their 30mp digital medium format (larger than FF) camera, the 645D, next year . . . maybe.

A FF body is still not very likely.

Sorry to disappoint but I'm going to have to put this sale on hold for the moment.

I bought a 55mm SDM lens and then thought about what I could sell to fund it. I posted the topic based upon the contents of my spreadsheet kit list.

I have since discovered that the only lens I have with me in Spain is the 50mm Macro. The others are in UK and I don't have access to them until early next year. There's been no interest in the 50mm Macro anyway so far so I'll withdraw that one from sale for now.

I feel a very silly billy and offer my sincere apologies to those (2) who have expressed an interest. I'll post them up here again in the new year when I have them after I've PM'd those who expressed an interest. In the meantime, if you see a bargain, grab it.

I don't think a grip exists for the K-M but if it does, you'll probably find it on ebay.

If you have the Pentax Digital Utility 4 installed on your computer, you don't need the disk.
But if you haven't got a K-7, you shouldn't have it installed

Aiki, it's basically a pancake/crepe mixture but cooked in an oven in very hot oil or fat.

That's silly, MS Access isn't nearly good enough. It's SQL Server on clustered servers distributed across Europe for me. Gotta keep my lens list safe.

Not really, Excel is good enough for me. I do maintain a list of items bought and sold with prices and serial numbers for insurance purposes though.

The bottom line is very very scary.

Well Martin seems to have gone for good. 'User not active' if you click on his user name. Unless he signs in as a guest or another user name he won't see any of these good will messages.

So final. I wonder why.

I photograph children all the time, and knowing how to use my camera, I struggle to believe that I would get 1 usable photo out of 200. So either something went wrong, or you haven't approached the 'job' with the correct preparation.

I perfectly understand the humor of the quote, I was trying to take a serious perspective, in order to help out. It clearly is not needed.

So the advice is: Don't EVER photograph children or animals EVER again!
Take a chill pill Nathan, no malice intended towards children or animals. They do of course make excellent subjects. But sometimes . . . it just doesn't happen.

Glad you got one you can use anyway, at least the trip wasn't entirely wasted.

I have a spare Extension Cord F5P to fit these adapters if anybody wants to make up a set.
