Thanks mate, I think I am going to go for the Samsung GX20 that I have on hold for me, I would love a K20D and grip but now I know I can get hold of a grip for the Samsung I think I would be better buying new.
Chris - I am after a GX20 grip too. Are they still available?

Ffordes have several 16-45 in their listings at the moment. Around £190 I think.

[quote:My only complaint is that on my K10 I have to either stop down by one or post alter every image as it seems a bit over exposed always to me
Alistair[/quote]With an A lens you should not have exposure issues. Set it to the A position and control the aperture from the camera body. Over exposure might indicate slow diaphragm blades, which do not stop down enough before exposure.

The 35-70 f4 or the AF versions of this lens are reputedly the best of in this focal length range.

Great stuff - the first and second are my favourite. I am not sure Photoshop would have added anything. They work well as a series.

Up...? Bump or more focal length?

Is this the 90mm or 100mm macro?

MXV are out of business as of 2 weeks ago, so you probably had a lucky escape.

Or Ffordes. They have an HA90 for £5, almost mint apparently:
