Edit: you will have to take my word for it because re-sizing has destroyed the detail I was trying to show I will try posting it in the gallery to see if it fares any better.

But the new glass is tempting...especially the DA*70-200m 2.8 zoom. I use the DA*200 fixed focal length a lot and its a lovely lens but for action photography - trains speeding towards me at 70+mph or street action such as at the Edinburgh Fringe I feel the need for a high performance zoom with a good reach. Trouble is that lens is in the same price bracket as the K1.
I wonder what trade in I'd get for my 200 against one at SRS?

I prefer the straight Lastolite cable myself but not many places seem to stock it.

I am still waiting to find a really good alternative to the 24-70 f2.8 FA lens for wide angle landscape. Neither the 15-30 f2.8 nor the 31mm prime can take square filters and there isn't anything wider than 24mm from Sigma nor Tamron as far as I can tell. At the other end of the scale I am considering the 200mm prime rather than the 70-200mm f2.8 zoom as it is lighter and cheaper, and pleased to see that it is fully operational in FF.
