I bought one of these straps off of Ebay (the quick strap) and thought I was doing well. I paid £18. It arrived within a couple of weeks and I was quite happy with it, it wasn't the quality I expected but it was ok and probably (hopefully) good enough to put on my small camera. The shocker came about a week later. I received through the post a lovely customs and excise bill! I don't know what was worse having to pay the extra tax and import duty or the extortiant handling charge that the post office charged for opening it. If I bought again I would only buy from the UK (I am in the UK) that way I know what I am paying. I should have bought the Pap Stap, next time I will. I questioned the customs and they say that declaring items as gifts is standard practice and they are used to it and almost look out for it.

The k7 is smaller and has more weather sealing and better build quality the the k20d(and the k20d is built well), also the k7 has faster fps also the video and few extra thing.
if you want a bigger camera the k20 it is.

I use the polaris.
tested side by side with a sekonic and an older minolta.
it is always within 1/10th of a stop of the much more expensive meters.
can't argue with that....
