Can anybody help me with this please?

Has anyone got a recent back issue of AP with the subscriber offer of the camera bag? If so what is the promotional code as I haven't kept those issues!

I was an existing subscriber but I let it run out so I could renew and get the free bag and of course didn't take a note of the code. As Del Boy would say... what a plonker!!

Thanking you in anticipation

Rob

I have found another two Lexar Professional 4GB SDHC cards that I no longer require as I am starting to use 8GB instead.

Case included but no card reader this time.

I bought them from a reputable supplier in the UK.

£10 each including delivery.

If interested then send me a PM and I'll give you further details.

Regards

Rob

Thanks for all your comments. I understand that the Sabre may not be with us for much longer as it has had a stay of execution in being moved out to the States very sad...

The Autumn show at Duxford next month might be the last time we see it here so that's my excuse to go!

Can anyone tell me if these 2 are the same? Has anyone got one and if so what are the differences (apart from the Samusung name) if any?

Thanks

Rob

Thanks for your comments and advice Richard, I may well stick with the 55-300mm and have a look at the bags that I've got. As you say the cheaper option

Sadly nowhere near as good as the 55-300 but not a bad lens, it's just that the 55-300 is very good for the money, don't know about the more recent WR version, I suspect it will be similar.

I sold my 55-300 soon after I bought the 60-250 and haven't found the extra weight to be a major drawback even when flying Ryanair . Is the extra weight really such a large issue?
The weight might not be an issue Richard with Icelandair but I'm thinking about carrying it around as well.

I bought this lens last year but since purchasing the 60-250 it has been used less and less. I am looking to perhaps replace it with the 50-200mm WR primarily for the trip to Iceland as I would like a weather resistant zoom that is compact and not that heavy for air travel which for me rules out the 60-250mm. In general what is the opinion of the standard 50-200mm?

Has anyone else got any advice and suggestions please? This also means that the 55-300mm will be on sale soon but this will of course be taken care off in another forum

Thanks

Rob

Perhaps I shoud have clarified John...in respect of moving subjects. I thought that the AP review mentioned that although the FPS and the AF had been improved over the K20 the K-7 was still not likely to appeal to nature and sports photographers because of that very reason.

Would the "flaw" be that the AF is still a bit sluggish? I can't think of anything else.
