Welcome CJ. Dodgy choice of wine though. Try a decent Rioja and you won't go back to the vinegar you drink at the moment

Good find. Unfortunately when I did my searches in Google SRS didn't come up in the results. Besides, Clifton has the 2 year warranty as well, not 1 year, and they are also a Pentax Pro centre.
Good news then, but it's not obvious from their website that they are a Pro centre. Oddly enough, their Nikon Premier status is proudly emblazoned across the top of their site.Good find.

Enjoy the lens, I'm sure it'll be great, irrespective of where it comes from.
Comment by Mannesty posted on Pentax 55-300 really good price! at 25/11/2008 - 17:25
Same price and cash back as SRS at £199.00 incl postage. SRS is a Pentax pro centre giving 2 years warranty instead of the 1 year available from stockists like Clifton Cameras.

Hi All,
This seems like a natural place to ask the question. I've decided to buy a SEF-54 (AF540) flash. Are there any other accessories I should get whilst my wallet is unlocked? Like diffusers, brackets?? I don't want to look like a portable studio when going to the park with the kids, but I would like to buy with the flash anything that may make life easier taking photos.
Many thanks
Drew

For future reference, if you had bought it from a Pentax Pro Centre it would have had 2 years warranty.

If one is careless with any filter, when it breaks, do you really want splinters of glass ruining the coatings of your lens?

Hello Hyram,
Like you I have the AF280T, have you used it on your K20D with the Pentax hotshoe grip?
If you have what Synch cord are you using to connect the K20D hotshoe to the hotshoe grip?
What are you using the Metz on, and do you use it on a hotshoe grip?
I'm trying to sort out compatibility issues with the K20D
I think there is only one cable you can use between the K20D and Hot Shoe Grip. It's the same cable used to connect an AF400T.Hello Hyram,

You won't sort out the compatibility issues. The AF280T has an analogue interface and the K20D uses a digital interface.
Your flash can be used in manual mode, when it will fully discharge, or it's auto modes. You'll need to use the camera in fully manual; mode to get the best out of your flash.
Also, the AF280T is a TTL flash, a mode that is not supported by the K20D, which can use only P-TTL automation.

Thank you Mannesty,
Have you used this lens for wildlife/bird photography?
what lenses do you use?
I used it on the odd occasion. I now use a DA* 300mm with & without a 1.7X AF TC, a SMCP-M 400mm, and when I'm feeling very strong, a SMCP 135-600mm.Thank you Mannesty,

You could have started your own topic by way of introducing yourself. The topic you replied to is almost 5 years old. That's gotta be some kind of record
