I was pretty much in the same boat, tried to part exchange my GX-10 kit with grip through SRS, but wasn't happy with their quote at £150.

So I bought a Samyang from them instead. The only thing that will replace my camera will be a K5+grip. It's the only other Pentax DSLr (that I know) that has outclassed every other brand in its generation, the first would be the K10D/GX-10.

Kept the camera, bought a faster lens.

Also interested with the Tamron 70 300. Drop me an email at [email protected] (remove NOSPAM). Cheers!

Appreciate the tip! I was wondering how I could crop the third one especially. I'll take your advice and that's what I'll save in the "for album print" version.

You may want to consider the Samsung Xenon 100mm 2.8 Macro which is essentially a rebadged version of the same Pentax lens. I think Park Cameras have it on clearance on their website, and on their eBay page.

Well it looks like someone is going to get fired off of eBay.

Weather? Check this out: https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/dull-but-nice---ullswater-25806/p-0

But I agree. In 2010, based on my archives, I think I had a month away from my camera. I couldn't believe it.

I gues it's human nature. We tend to change focus. I got hooked back on Anime during that month.

Don't worry, most of the time, it will come to pass and you will be shooting again. I think the first days of Spring will encourage you.

One of my best ever purchases was that of a Pentax SMC 50 M 1.7, it truly opened up my eyes. It was what I needed at the time. I always found digital photography to be "too easy", and with the fully manual lens, each shot became more of a thought process.

Oh and the build quality is just superb. You could easily put it in a sock and use it as a weapon if ever. LOL
