Now on a well known auction site

Any offers before the bay ?

Doh, ignore that is was meant to be on my other thread.

Any offers before the bay ?

Thanks, yes it is that statement that I ma referring to, it's all a bit vague though.

There was an announcement that they were were working on an upgrade which would solve the problem of using their hg/shg lenses on current models, they aren't designed to work on the current mirror-less micro 4/3 cameras.

This is my problem.

If a body with the image quality of the new omd existed which could take the lenses I have got I would be considering a swap, at the moment there is nothing beyond a vague statement, nothing has come out at photokina.

Thanks very much for all the replies, I think I have a better understanding of my options now.

I am still very tempted but have decided to wait a little longer to see if Olympus announce a new solution which suits the lenses I already have, I really am quite wedded to the high grade ones.

I'll probably change my mind again tomorrow

I think I am asking too much for this

How about £400 including rmsd.

That's great info thanks.

I am thinking

sigma 17-50 f2.8
DA* 50-135 (love the range of this one worried about sdm motor problems?)
DA* 60-250 f4

together with a kit 18-55 I have with the K7 would make a good two body set up for me and the daughter to share. Add some primes later.

Any thoughts on that, anyone?

Thanks for the replies so far, I am sold on the pentax bodies as being better than my Olympus set up, it is just the lens choice that is confusing me.

The Oly "pro" grade lenses are really good but not cheap. The question confounding me is if I can get a zoom set up, covering 24-400 ish (full frame equivalent) with superb sharpness, low ca etc. together with an excellent prime or two for around £1200 which is what I will have to spend.
I am not averse to second hand.
