Nice, and steady hands for 1/80s with that bazooka !

I second that. SRS are the retailer of choice for many on here and they provide great service.

You can ask all your K1 related questions on here and you can learn as you travel

Thanks Steve, but don't tell Ripley, it will go to his head. He is demanding enough as it is.

Thanks to John (LennyBloke) for looking after this lens so well. The SMC 28mm 3.5 is one I have wanted for a while, and not only is it in great condition but the quality is super. I have only been "mucking around" with it in the garden so far, but it passes the Ripley test with flying colours (black and white).

With the K1 at f3.5

Nice work, very "impressionist"

Great detail in that first one.

Beautiful image. Very nicely framed.

Thanks John. Lens is here already begging to be used.

A lovely example too.

You would do best to contact a carrier directly where you can see their restrictions and not the generic one on that parcel monkey site.

last time I looked on parcelforce I think you were able to send cameras/lenses, but the lens would only be covered for loss, not damage. You would need to check though as the regulations, especially regarding batteries may have changed.

Good, you won't be disappointed.

In case you are not aware, use this lens in Manual exposure mode on your K3. Select the aperture you desire and press the green button. The lens will briefly stop-down to the selected aperture, and the camera will select a shutter speed. Then take your picture.

You can also use it in Av mode , but it will only use wide open f4, irrespective of your aperture selection. So Av mode is only really useful if you want to use f4

looking forward to some pictures.
