That should be interesting, what's he going to do .. tell us about the image quality in a Tommy Cooper voice?

Just like that ....


Personally, until the final firmware is released the camera doesn't interest me that much as I think everything has just about been said ... when the firmware happens then things will get a lot more interesting.

What, you mean you haven't got one yet?

Amin.

Did you try the 5 fps?
Did Danny take his Sigma 100-300mm f4? just wondering if the AF is quicker with screw drive as well or am I going to have to sell my Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 in favour of a new Pentax 50-135mm f2.8 before they go up.

Should make a good upgrade from the K10D if K20D users are that impressed.

I'm sure there were plenty of other lenses to choose from, it just seems mad to me that they would use a below par lens to help demonstrate their new "state of the art" camera. How hard can it be for the Pentax rep to carry a production lens now?

Do you know if the kit lens is the WR model or are we going to be paying extra for that?

So they were demonstrating their new flagship semi pro pre production K-7 with beta firmware using a pre production 60-250mm lens which is known to have problems.

I do wonder about Pentax sometimes ....

I think Nikon have put their prices up twice this year already and they are due to rise again this month as well, not sure about Canon.

When I was living in Spain 3 months ago we English were taking a right beating because of the exchange rate. My money is in the UK so whenever I needed some cash I just took it from the local cashpoint but by the time I left it was costing me approx 30% more than 12 months ago for the same amount of Euros. What did amuse me though were the small shops that catered for the English that couldn't do without their Heinz baked beans and Mcvities digestives .. the shops buy the stuff my the van load and drive it over to Spain to stock their shelves .. they sell in Euros but buy in Stirling so therefore by rights their prices should have dropped significantly .. did they? .. did they hell.

If I were not interested in the lens myself I would have been happy to send it to Italy. Personally I have never had a problem with items going missing when sending there but obviously as I am bidding myself it would be a bit daft.

Sorry but I can't help you with that auction, the item you are interested in has been in my watch list for a few days now and lets just say there would be a conflict of interest.

Always manual focus and make sure its aimed at the eyes.
You will also need around f16 and flash is usually a must as well.
