Im pretty much set on getting the K10D but thought was a pretty good deal.

Accessories Included : Twin Lenses: 18-55mm and 50–200mm Schneider Kreuznach, lens cap, dust cap, strap, cables & software drive
worth buying for the lenses alone and selling the rest on Ebay?

Both lenses plus body for £230.00.

Hmmm.

I remember many years ago I bought a 32" Panasonic widescreen tv (widescreen had just about come out then), it was from Comet and for some reason I paid an extra £50 for an extended warranty.
18 months down the line my small son decided to throw a yoghurt at it and as I was wiping it off I noticed a very very small flaw in the screen.
I phoned the company the warranty was with and they sent someone out to take a look, who decided that the flaw had probably been there since manufacture but it would not be cost effective to repair and they would be in touch. A few days later they phoned to say they would replace the tv free of charge for a new model and I was to dispose of the old one at my own cost. I thought about this for a while and then phoned them back, saying I was in the process of moving and I would rather have a cheque if possible and buy a new tv when settled in my new home. Anyway, after telling me that they could not give me the retail price back if I had a cheque as they got things virtually at cost they agreed an amount of £1200.00 (remember this is over 10 years ago) but I was still to dispose of the TV at my expense.

That television went on for another 8 years+ until we moved to Spain last year when I gave it away .. and as far as I know it is still going strong.

As for the flaw, you honestly couldn't see it unless you had your nose to the screen.

Anyway, thanks for the replies.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has any dealings with these as they have the K10D kit for £399.99 less a £15 code for over £150 this weekend.

Really trying to find if I get a 2 year warranty with it or if its 1 year.

Thanks.

Well after waiting over a week for the 18-55mm MKII lens to arrive from Bristol Street cameras, numerous phone calls and a few emails to find out where it is . I get this today ..

From where please?

Ok, so next question .. Sorry

Do I buy the kit with the Pentax 18-55 or is it worth the extra £20 and buy the body with the MKII Pentax 18-55 until Pentax release the 55-300mm.
Or is there another lens "around" that sort of price that would do me better with the body, whether it be Pentax, Sigma or whoever.

Thanks so far.

So do you think it would probably be worth me buying a camera with stock 18-55mm lens and waiting for the Pentax 55-300mm rather than paying the extra £100 for the lens, camera bag and memory card.
I suppose it would keep me occupied for a month os so with just the normal lens.

Hi,
Am currently looking at buying a K10D from SRS and the best deal looks to be the special offer kit which includes the above lens.
Just wondering if the lens is any good really, does not have to be anything special as such because I am a complete novice but I have been told the Sigma 70-300 Apo lens is a much better bet and it would be in my best interest to buy the basic kit and this lens seperately.

Or would I be better going for Sigma 55-200/4-5.6 DC lens which SRS have coming in stock which costs not much more than the Tamron and seeing if I can persuade Chris to do a deal
