Having convinced myself only last night that I would be waiting a few months until I purchase a K7 and to see if Pentax would be doing Cashback, I noticed a nice voucher in the magazine today for £70 off a K7 and grip combination...

Anyone else face the same dilemma?
Nope, I'm still waiting a few months .. unless there is a dealer in the Hampshire/Dorset area near to me of course ... and I had a voucher....and I knew what PU magazine was ....

Edit: oh, I suppose it could stand for Pentax User

Edit 2: And it would help if there was a K-7 and grip actually in the UK to buy.

Grip for me, never could understand why people used them until I got one cheap to resell, put it on my K10D and it has never been off since.
Not worried about the extra battery capacity or the fact it makes the camera look more "professional" but when using a big lens like the Bigma its an absolute must to keep the camera balanced if using handheld.

as would a Pentax version of the Canon MP-E 65.
I thought of that but basically there is not a hope in hell of it happening. Even Nikon have nothing like it.

These Aussies are a right bunch of wimps, one cant take any photos because of the weather and the other because he needs his rest.

I dunno ... and they call us Brits soft.

I would certainly think hard about buying a DA* 500mm f5.6 were Pentax to make one, a lot of my pics are done at the long end although I suppose if I were to buy a K20D/K-7 the extra cropping over my K10D would allow me to get closer?. I would certainly have to buy a DA* 200mm Macro f4.

My most exotic lens is a Pentax A* 300mm f2.8 along with the 1.4xL and 2xL teleconverters which is so ruddy heavy it rarely (if ever) gets used.
