This is quite worrying as well. I have used mine quite often in the rain, not as much with the flash on though, tempted to try!

Tempted! I love my 35mm 2.4, but miss the 1.4 (although quite hard to use). Can you PM me so I can consider your offer?

Hello everyone. Selling another Tamron 70-300 in good condition. No dust inside, signs of use on the outside, comes with generic front and rear caps.

Have owned this for a few months from another person, and the only gripe I have is that it's a bit noisy. Excellent performer when stopped down. Here are some photos of the lens:

Taking into consideration the current prices of lenses all over, my asking price is £90 including delivery via RMSD (Royal Mail Special Delivery) on the next working day.

Here are some photos I took a few weeks ago using this lens:

This is a certainly good copy of the lens. The only reason I'm selling is due to having a Pentax 55 300 now. Would rather sell here to the community than on eBay.

I will miss the quite useful 1:2 macro capability of the lens (as indicated in the first photo) but am planning to get the Pentax 100mm WR in the future.

Please feel free to drop me a line should you have any questions.

Dude, you're in Scotland. Enjoy the rain, and get the K30 (or a used K5). It is worth the investment.

You have a PM sir.

I am very happy that we finally get some good PR. In good timing as well with Ricoh onboard. I am off to the London Google+ Photowalk now and am hoping will not be the only Pentaxian there!

We all know better. But to the average joe who is looking to get into a system plus a nifty-fifty, that SRP is really a huge put off.

Any updates on the 7dayshop ones?

Still a mixed bag is it?
