They had a 10-17 which went for £199! I would have bought that!

I did ask about that when I phoned for the 12-24mm and it was still there then. I thought about it but decided my wife would probably throttle me if I bought both.
She only knew about the 12-24mm because jessops phoned her twice, once for the post code again and the second time for the 3 digit security code on the back of the card.
She phoned me here to find out what I was buying for the camera "THIS TIME"

I'm one of the few who would like a decent Live View feature and the GX20 implementation is pretty poor by most accounts,
My thought too, bit of a let down from what I have read.
Pity.

The name of what looked like a third party supplier did flash up
on the screen when I placed the order.

Actually that's not good.
Log into your account and make sure the order is being supplied by Play themselves and not a marketplace trader.

It only cost£10 inc postage so no big deal if it`s duff.
Am new to Pentax and quite enjoying browsing for old lenses, my Sigma 70-210 cost about £15 and gives decent IQ, although it is a bit heavy.

I did exactly the same thing at first, I still have a box of old tat at home. Some of the lenses never even made it on the camera

Hello all,

I would like to pay 10 pounds extra for the effort. Ofcourse I will pay also for all extra shipping costs.

Thanks for reading and support from all good fellow Pentaxians from the UK.

Regards,

JM
Can you order one on your card and have it sent to a UK address?

All pure speculation on my part after a few beers. (Perhaps too many ?) Anyone else care to speculate ?
I speculate that Sony will launch a takeover bid for Nikon very soon if their share price keeps dropping.
Then we could have a Sony/Nikon/Pentax/Samsung hybrid

Im pretty sure thats the same list (could be wrong though).
Even though they say update every day at 1pm I don't think they have done it once since.

So I'll just keep my fingers crossed.
I must say that this method of taking orders doesn't exactly inspire confidence in Play.com

Shim, you really don't strike me as a very happy person .

Play normally take a few days to process their orders which is why the postage is free.

I have had loads of stuff in the past and apart from one problem (as mentioned previously which was sorted with no issues at all) every one has come through fine.

Of course yours could be totally different ....
