I have a Tamrac Expedition 3, which is a small backpack style bag. It can fit my K100D Super with Tokina 80-400, and about 3 other smaller lenses. Due to LBA, I upgraded to a Tamrac Expedition 5, which fits my camera and about 8 or 9 lenses at last count. Both excellent bags, but the Expedition 5 is now too heavy to lug around, so I take the 3 out for the day, with a reduced selection of lenses. (I think they also make an Expedition 7. Hmmmmm......)

The cheapy screen protectors are great if you can apply them without trapping air-bubbles, but maybe that's just my sloppy technique.

Welcome Jim, from sunny Newcastle, Australia. Now, let's see some pics.

Aah, look at him, sitting there all cute 'n cuddly. If only we could slap him on a burger bun with some tomato, cheese, lettuce and a healthy dose of chili sauce.

Not sure what prices are like over there

The price at a local retailer (JB HiFi) was $698 last week (440 GBP), for K-r body and kit lens.

Thanks to all for the timely intervention. I've put the K-r on the back burner, and I'm taking the K100D out for a spin today. By the way, all those older lenses have been collected over a very short length of time, and cost bugger all. They represent a "collection", as opposed to regularly used workhorses. Even so, I'd probably trade a few in on a 50-135 without a second thought.

But it's a new PENTAX!!!! Surely the kids wouldn't mind baked beans dinners every night over the winter?

Ok, I'm looking for a moral judgement here. My birthday is in a month's time, and my wife reluctantly told me she's thinking of getting me a K-r.
I told her that, due to our restricted budget, maybe a pair of mountain-bike shorts might be more affordable. Deep down though, I really want the K-r. Have I done the right thing? Is it ok to forgo a new Pentax body, to put food on the table for the next few weeks?
Please help.

Been put under notice my post is being made redundant

Isn't it strange, how the most deserving of getting the bullet (figuratively speaking, of course), are those so-called "Managers" who are handing out the redundancy notices.

I have an Angenieux lens on a Nizo Heliomat Super 8 movie camera I bought from a second-hand dealer. It also has a built in Gossen light meter. Aside from my beloved Pentax, this is the best equipment I own.
