Go for the newer one. The zoom creep on the 80 to 320 is OMG!

One of the many reasons that I use Pentax, is that it gives me some piece of mind to go into the rain and just take photos. I also like how the water turns out in the photos!
Also, check out this thread if you haven't yet.
Thank you for looking!
This was from Battersea Bridge to Wandsworth Bridge. After that I was too wet to continue LOL I'm not that waterproof!

Very happy that you like it!
It really is in great condition isn't it?
Looking forward to seeing your photos!

Very sorry to hear that. I second writing to the MP, and talking to the local media.
Several weeks ago a colleague at work was threatened with violence of the worse kind (come at home kill people), all verbal, but my colleague was pretty shaken. This happened a couple more times and on the third time, I escorted him to the police station which was about 5 minutes away, to report a potential incident.
We were told to come back when something had happened. LOL I could not believe what I heard.

General photography, I will recommend the 35 2.4, it's a fantastic performer! But, will recommend the 50 1.8 most especially at the current price it is at! You can always grab the 35 2.4 sometime later, I believe it averages at £80-£90 second hand in these forums, and the 50 1.8 is a steal at £119 at SRS!

Apologies for that, didn't know of such a rule. Can you advise on where I can find the forum's rules section? Just need to make sure I don't break another one. No it's not and the poster it refers to will be aware of it. The link has been removed.
Regarding the topic, I think it's Haida and NiSi that are making these "more affordable" 10 stop filters:
Haida - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DNEXFRK/
NiSi - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008EL89T6/
Make sure you get the "thin" version to avoid vignetting!

A lot of people seem to like it, for less than half the price of a B+W

Happy to help! I'd snap it if I can, alas not right now. Reviews certainly point it as a "stack of primes" lens!
