Count me in too please. It sounds very good, and a bargain too.

I'm in a bit of a quandary here. I'm looking for 200mm and f2.8 glass. My problem is, do I buy the Pentax 200mm prime, or is it worth thinking about either of the other two zooms? I realise IQ may be a little compromised but is it worth that for the added flexibility. I'm looking for fast focusing as well as good IQ, so if anyone has experience of these lenses I'd be grateful for comments. Before anyone suggests it, the 60-250 Pentax zoom is a somewhat out of reach financially.

Thanks in advance.

John.

I will certainly be there. Not sure which day(s) yet. I do have a ticket for either Saturday or Sunday, so will decide on the weekend which day to use the ticket, depending on the weather. If it's good weather both days I may go to Rhymes Farm on the other day, I'm going down on Friday and staying 'till Monday so could possibly go to the departure day on Monday too. It would be good to see the F4 fly.

Probably a silly question but do you have sufficient separation between the subject and the background? The nearer the background to the subject the less the out of focus (bokeh)effect. Sorry if this is self- evident, and not applicable.

I bought 2 283's to use as portable studio lighting and they both have 270V trigger voltage. I'm going to use them with Radio Control, but I hope they don't fry the triggers !!!!! Haven't had the nerve to try them yet.
