I think there may be a much more obvious reason this is not you Amin ... he obviously doesn't go running

Wonder if he has a picture of you Bob, went back to his train spotting mates and said ..hey, I saw a Pentax user on a steam train.

First 2 shots are excellent though, the B&W really suits number one.

I will use this thread to cheaply and unethically increase my post count. Damn I feel guilty already.
No doubt it will be deleted as an inappropriate post and so dropping your count by one. Seems to be the In thing atm.

Did you not read my comment, I said : One where he doesn't get laughed at when he walks into a room

Anyway, still waiting to be tempted by a price for the 50-135mm.

but £569 new with HSM
The older non HSM lens is better, sharper at 200mm.
Most people assume because a lens is a newer model it is superior when this is not always the case.
Saying that it wouldn't fetch £450 on Ebay ...

Any on here that also have the 50-135mm?
Do you still use the faster lens or now that you have the 60-250mm has the 50-135mm been consigned to that big kitbag in the sky?

I am wanting to buy a 50-135mm but if I do it will come out of my K-7 fund which means delaying the purchase for a few months.

The ones I have seen might say £529 or whatever but when you actually click through to their site they've all gone up or are out of stock
I have one Pentax dealer with more than one in stock at £529 and another who is willing to pricematch that price.
Do you not think I would have checked before I actually said anything here

I am just about to place an order for a 50-135mm ..cost online is still £529 in certain places if you look hard enough.
Have another think about your price and I may be interested.
