I understand where your coming from John but I just no I won't be happy with the silver/chrome version on black. Thought I just found one 2nd hand at mifsuds but once she finally unwrapped it it was chrome!!!

Wow I thought I'd have no trouble picking up a black version of one of these lenses today brand new, How wrong was I. Phoned just about everywhere I could think of and no one has stock at all. Few chrome ones floating around new and 2nd hand but I don't think chrome looks right on my black K5 body. People must have money to burn again!!

I don't guarantee you'll still have somewhere to live, but you'll have two lovely lenses.

I find myself in this situation now as I'm also looking for a decent telephoto lens. Tried the 60-250mm on hire from SRS and found it ok. Couldn't really compare it's weight to anything else as I've not tried anything else.

Took this yesterday but have no idea what type of insect it is. Maybe a species of ladybird??

Thank you. I just found that once I had edited it in photoshop and saved the image as a jpeg on my desktop then dragged it back into my lightroom library that once i deleted the jpeg on the desktop it would not open up in lightroom and said it was a missing file.Save it as PSD (with compatibility on) or as TIFF if you want to edit it further (lightroom can read and edit those) or else something like JPG would do the trick.
