I stuck a bid on it and just got it (with 1p to spare).
I know I am stuck with it now but its a lot cheaper than the new Sigma or Pentax offerings coming out (not worried about using it in manual).. just wondering if its any good and will the voltage be ok or have I made a mistake :
Thanks.

Get yourself an AF200T flash, it a great flash to use manualy, it can be wound down as low as 1/8 discharge and with a diffuser its perfect.

Nice shots Mike, are you working your way in closer to them
BTW aren't these Hornets :
Yikes, that makes it even worse then, they attack for no reason at all .. nasty little buggers.
As for working my way closer, thats it .. I'm finished.
Maybe

If I do then its not worthwhile but if not then I think it would be worth a punt.
You can always put it on your K20D body to make sure everything is ok before sending, that way it can be shipped as used photographic equipment

They are an American company called Focusing screen.com
The screen I got from them is called the Nikon F6 but it doesn't seem to be listed on thier site anymore. Maybe you can e-mail them and ask if its still available.
Heres a link
I have never shopped at Teds camera store before as there isn't one close by.
Don't forget to include Vat with that lens. If you ever need something picked up and shipped over to you just ask and I will see what I can do.
So this needs tax added or is it included?
If its included I may well take you up on the offer thanks .. depending what the postage costs would be

I have been looking at a Australian camera dealer online called Teds camera store, they have the Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 in Pentax mount and with the Australian exchange rate as it is the lens works out at under £400 stirling.
Pity they dont ship to Spain

Mine did, hence the reason it is the drawer now.
