I bought my DA* 60/250 specifically for my safari holiday as a 300mm prime was just too long a focal length at times. Coupled with the K7+Grip, I found a great combination for shooting game. No lens changing whilst there were clouds of dust around and the weather/dust proofing proved it's worth. The camera and lens took on a light brown appearance on occasion.

Guy on Safari was entering all the data re game sightings into his journal - along with their GPS positions! Doesn't he realise they will have moved next time he goes on a drive? (He came from across the pond)

How old was he? It is not surprising that many younger people have little or no knowledge of Pentax given that not many shops have them on display and there is little national advertising. Older photographers who used film SLRs will remember Pentax as a leading SLR manufacturer.

Bumped into this American whilst on holiday and he was going on about the images he had captured with his N***n D300 and he asked me what camera I was using. So I asked him to guess - so he started with Nikon? Canon?
So when I said no, he then asked, Fuji? Sony? Again no, so then he ran out of ideas after Olympus and Panasonic. When I said my camera was a Pentax - his response was, Oh yeah I've heard of them....

It wouldn't be difficult to add something to Jessops - as there isn't much there to start with!...
