I really shouldn't buy a thing in the UK anymore if I was you.
I doubt very much I will Stefan although I had more or less decided to keep the Sigma for use on Pentax's new full frame camera I really shouldn't buy a thing in the UK anymore if I was you.

STILL undecided whether to buy a 50-135mm or keep my Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 and converters.
Ah well, Park cameras have now put their 50-135mm price up so that sorts out that problem. STILL undecided whether to buy a 50-135mm or keep my Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 and converters.

I bought a split screen from Ebay for my K10D and it was horrible, the thing blacked out after f8 making it totally unuseable.

Too bad you said "£1100 in the UK" or else I would have taken the offer
I said I was careful Stefan, not stupid Too bad you said "£1100 in the UK" or else I would have taken the offer
If they are £900 in Europe I may even fly over to Spain and buy one, the savings will pay for a few weeks over there.

Hey the K-7 isn't even out you so all you do now is branding it expensive on the advice price Pentax gives and not for the money it will lay in the shop!
Stefan, no shop is going to discount it by much, if at all from the Pentax retail price to begin with, they have no need. I am happy to put money on the fact the body only price will be over £1100 in the UK upon release.Hey the K-7 isn't even out you so all you do now is branding it expensive on the advice price Pentax gives and not for the money it will lay in the shop!
