Last one, promise.
Just had to as I think this works very well.

But then look at it from his point of view.
What you say also holds up for 90% of the general public, if they need a wedding photographer they want one with a "proper" camera so its Nikon or Canon.
If he goes into a wedding with a Pentax he would more than likely get some strange looks from the guests who all think (wrongly) that Pentax is not good enough for the job.
When it came for them to recommend a photographer the bride tells her friend, the photos were great but he used one of those old Pentax cameras ... how many jobs is he likely to lose because of it?

I presume so, not tried it but pm me your email and you can try it.
If anyone else wants it then do likewise ..

You tell your wife?

Not 4 months ago that would have been approx £420.
How the mighty have fallen ....

Some people are just in the right place at the right time...

Or just plain mad.

If I can stop myself buying at £439 (when cashback was on) there is no way I am paying £499 even if it is cheap.

I think all the Pentax UK prices actually went up due to the exchange rate

Scrub that, £499 today.
