Mine arrived today.
Takes the K10D with DA* 60-250mm attached, DA* 16-50mm and D-FA 100mm macro. Ideal for a light travelling bag.

£1300 though... I could get a K7 for that!!
So the Canon users who pay thousands for exotic long lenses are wrong to do so because they cost more than their camera body?

Anyway, it says £1600 .. you could buy 3 K20Ds for that !!!

Neither Minolta or Sony have ever done much over 300mm.
This sony 70-400mm looks rather interesting though.

They also have a 300mm f2.8 and a 70-200mm f2.8.

I still think the 60-250mm should have been a f2.8.

£48 for a 128mb card when I bought my first Digital camera, a fujitsu 1.3mb P&S.

The K10D flash is actually very good for macro as long as you don't have to get too close to the subject (then it gets blocked by the lens).

I found that the Tamron 500mm severely overexposes on my K10D. I have to increase the shutter speed.
All my Tamron Adaptall 2 lenses overexpose, I have to dial in -1 compensation whenever I use them with my PK/A adapters.

Ideal for when I just want to take out the camera and a spare lens. Saves messing around with the other bag.
Thanks.

This feature, while it doesn't seem likely to be the reason I WANT to buy a K-7, may well be the reason I am ALLOWED to buy a K-7/8/9 in a few years time when babys start comming along.....
Get on with the babies then you could have the K-7 earlier

Im pretty sure Pentax will issue a International warranty (unlike Sigma) which will cover any repairs from an authorised repair centre.
