Took another drive down to snowdonia yesterday & hiked along my favourite mountain range, The Glyderau - managed to improve on a couple of earlier shots whilst there too as the weather was pretty decent for photography

Regarding the 17-70 range although the Pentax is on the horizon its uncertain as to whether it will actually be any better than the Sigma version, weather sealing doesn't sound very effective & having read some info lately on the SDM it may also be of limited advantage - the Sigma will undoubtedly prove cheaper - I'd await some review info on the Pentax before getting too excited about it

You certainly captured the atmosphere !!

I was there for the Beaumaris Show on the Saturday, little less windy & a bit warmer, still not good enough for the Red Arrows to do their display though

Nice colours, off there myself in July - apparently they may well be remaking the Prisoner

Simon,

Why no tax to pay :

To be be honest, I've no idea - it only cost me the price advertised on their site

Iceblinker has the best idea !!

I spent a month on honeymoon in Canada/Alaska last year with a "prosumer" (coincidentally a Konica Minolta A200)- although it did o.k I dearly regret not having a DSLR with me.

Depending on where you are going they'll be lots of wildlife needing a decent zoom - bears, deer, bald eagles, whales & lots of other stuff & then to add to this there's some pretty awesome scenery - if you have the K10D believe me TAKE IT !!

Another vote for the lenspen - just make sure you give it a good blast with the rocket blower first

Another hiking trip in Snowdonia today, not the best lighting for photography but took a shot or two anyway...

1st one is Llyn Crafnant, 2nd is a view towards Tryfan & the Glyderau

All comments appreciated

Depending on your usage, the Sigma variant is an excellent lens & is available now
