I've got an AF one that I'm thinking of selling.

For a lot more than £35 though

You better put a reserve price in then, or you might be disappointed.

That is a personal preference. Again it depends on how and what you are shooting at and with. If any of your shots are wide angle, go for the P series instead.

Matt,

I have seen those warnings about possible vignetting with the A series, in fact B&H has it on A series listings on their site. I am personally using the P series. Not a whole lot of difference in price, and I do not have to worry about that issue.

Cokin has a ring adapter set for the A series that is very reasonable. You can obtain a universal ring that would cover most lenses or a lens specific ring, i.e. 52mm, and then with the A series holder use the A series filters you want. You may want to search some of the camera stores online, check amazon and ebay, and see what your outlay would be. Cokin has a nice information section that explains their system at this link. I hope this helps.

That all depends on what you plan to be shooting. That in itself would help any recommendations.

You can obtain Photoshop Elements, which can be purchased for either PC or Mac. The price on it is not bad, and it covers most of what you would want to do with editing. Amazon has it, along with a number of other online services.

Notice, I said almost all. With the increasing loss of revenue to online sales, most states have scrambled to close or are in the process of closing the inter-state sales tax loophole through inter-state revenue compacts. Out of country shipments and states like New Hampshire and a few others that have no sales tax have always been exempt to that.

By the way, you can save the sales tax in the US if you buy it mail order from another state. So, for example, it was cheaper to buy something at Adorama in NY and get them to ship it to SC than it was to walk out the shop door with it in your hand.

K.

Not anymore. Almost all the states have closed that loophole completely with inter-state tax collections agreements.

I'm sure our friends across the pond will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think most of the prices quoted in the shops do not include sales tax or state tax. Particularly in the States these are added at the till.

You are correct. In New York the sales tax rate varies from 7.5 to 8.5% additional, depending on the county in which it was purchased in.

(thinking out loud ) My brother who lives in Canada is coming to stay with me in a few weeks, I wonder if he 'needs' a new K7 ?

And accidentally leave it behind when he returns home? Not that I ever have done that before, and it was not even for relatives.
