It's not that expensive to get your local picture framers to do it for you. Plus you won't have to pay for wastage and failed attempts!

Or print to standard pre-cut mount sizes

I've noticed a 10-20 on sale used via a dealer for £329 which seems a good deal, but a brand new one is £399 via SRS with a full 3 year Warranty, etc is it worth paying the extra £69 for the warranty? I guess it would have more resale value later on if I was to sell than one without.

You wouldn't get any more for the SRS one if you sold it on. Personally I'd go with the 2nd hand one.

They didn't with the silver K-7...

I'll stick to my black one thanks.

I don't mind all the brightly coloured K-x and K-r models, but personally (and I'm probably in a minority of one here) I really don't like the silver models. They look cheap some how.

Silver paint is not the same as an MX style metal bodied camera. But at least the underlying material is not plastic. Silver plastic is the worst ever.

I love the perspective of using the 10-20 at close range. And the images are great for such extremely high ISOs.... They could almost do with MORE noise!

Yes the zoom extends at the wide end, not (as you'd expect) the long end. Absolutely rubbish, but you get used to it.

I tried a quick shootout with these two lenses recently. This is my second copy of the WR lens, the first having been sent back (decentred).

18-55 left:

16-45:

18-55 right:

16-45:

All at f4. The 16-45mm seemed a lot sharper, esp. at the edges. Add in the extra wideness, comparitive lack of distortion and even illumination and... my conclusion is it's a much nicer lens.

They're all good, but there's one absolute belter! Takes me back to my own childhood

I think if I enter I'll only be making up the numbers

You don't have to pay ebay/paypal fees for selling here so the price difference equals out

I can't see what the problem is here, am I being thick? Certainly there's no bad language. I actually have some sympathy for the guy, if someone has threatened to buy the item and not pay, and give neg feedback.

I just pluck a reasonable sounding figure from the air for postage - if people think it's too much they don't have to bid!

Wouldn't mind seeing your in camera mount, Smegster. I would like to rig something up for shooting video, off the sun roof maybe?
