Kind offer Kris, but I don't think the stylus on my record player would cope well.

Hmmm. Still not hearing Glen Miller.

I second Mike's experience with the 60-250 and Tamron 1.4.

With Mike's crop, sepia conversion in the camera, blurring, graining and desaturation, I came up with this and I am not sure. Looks to me as if the fuselage has been chopped off.

Excellent news Mark.

Thanks for that thought Axl. I am not a great b/w enthusiast (but please feel free to have a go), but a an aircraft of that time in sepia might work. I will have to have a play tomorrow.

Peter - I don't think the PPI is relevant to screen display. I believe it only becomes relevant in printing. The spec for submission for the magazine is "larger than 1000 x 1000 pixels". When I submitted a picture I am fairly sure I submitted it full size (about 4600 x 3100 pixels for my K20) and it was re-sized to 1000 x 600 odd when it was placed in the gallery here.

Not just a dodgy copy, but if they think it's too big to hand hold, a dodgy user as well.

The DA*300mm is sublime, you wouldn't be disappointed in it, and if that's the price for a new one, that's great. If it's secondhand, I'd be inclined to stump up an extra £100 and get a new one, I noticed London Camera Exchange are doing them at £899.
Having said that, if you want something like your Tamron but better, then I'd go for the DA 55-300 as Mark suggests, rave reviews all round.
I'd be reluctant to use a teleconverter on the 50-200 just because it would then have small effective aperture, and I found with mine I needed to close it down to f/8 to get the best from it anyway.

I share K10D's reservations about the battery being over volts. To achieve this, the chemicals would have to be wrong, and virtually all combinations would have produced a lower voltage if any at all.
