I'm seriously thinking about going for the day tomorrow - and if I get the deal I'm looking for, walking away with a K5.
Has anyone that went today (Sunday) got any views on the show? Worth the effort? Best Deals?? etc etc

Well, I've done it now! I couldn't resist the good price SRS have on this lens at the moment! Guess the K5 will wait a bit longer....
Aparently it DOES take filters - attached to the hood. The SIGMA site says it doesn't take filters at all - which had also stopped me getting it.
Anyone got the lens? How are you finding it.... and are there any problems using filters?
There have been a few reports of some lenses being off-centre with the distortion. Has anyone had a problem with this?
Looking forward to some sun!!

Are there good deals to be had at this show - or is it just a trade show with no actual sales taking place?
I'm still thirsting for the K5 !

So am I right in thinking that the ONLY WR lenses available at the moment are the two or three WR lenses from Pentax ? Guess I'll have to rely on the plastic bag and rubber bands!Ideally WR lenses should be used and then there is some confidence that we can actually go out and shoot in the rain.

I just wondered how water - resistant a Pentax camera would be without a WR lens attached ?
Is there some kind of sealing that would prevent water getting into the body through the lens ?
I would risk the loss of a non-WR lens in a rough situation - but not the loss of the camera!

Hmm... maybe that's not such a daft idea!
Just how many people out there ARE actively waiting for their K5 ? I certainly am.
I wonder which dealer would give a good price to sell 20 cameras ?
