hmmmmmm
Cannot really see the point of this. Anyone can currently join this forum, you don't have to even own a camera. Presumably anyone who joins has at least a passing interest in Pentax or maybe they are researching to buy a Pentax or a Pentax lens.

I cant help but think the original post was tongue in cheek. Or perhaps we will all have to prove we own a pentax product to be allowed to post.

I agree entirely and proamimaging have been highly recomended to me before. I just fancy my own A3 printer though.

I am in a bit of a quandary on this. I want an A3 printer but canot decide between Canon, Epson or HP.
I know they are all pretty good, i believe the canon's dont have the same problem as Epson with the heads blocking if not used for a while (something that is inevitably going to happen)unl;ess I a wrong on this.

So, anyone with an A3 printer have any opinions?
At the moment I am leaning towards the Canon Pixma, but the 9000 or the 9500, the mark 1 or the mark 2?
HP I am led to believe have very good customer service

I did a lot of research into bags before I bought.
I wanted a bag with plenty of good compartments for camera and lenses plus somewhere for waterproofs, food and other accessories. Also a tripod holder.
I didnt want a slingshot type bag as I did not consider them comfortable for long hill walks. I wanted a decent comfortable shoulder straps and importantly a good quality waist strap (where many bags fall down imo)

After much browsing on t'internet and visits to camera shops I settled on the Lowepro Rover AW II http://products.lowepro.com/product/Rover-AW%20II,2024.htm

The Rover AW II is certainly comfortable with wide padded straps all round with plenty of adjustment and a padded back. The lower part of the bag has 6 padded compartments with room for a SLR body with 50-135 lens mounted plus 5 other lenses or other acessories.
In the top half there is room for quite a bit of gear and make a great day bag. There are some side zip pockets for accesories etc and an internal pocket where i keep my filter kit etc.
The tripod holder was essential for me and seems to work well.
It also has an integral waterproof cover.
The one thing it is lacking is a laptop compartment if you need one but i bought this bag for day walks so it was not needed for me. I have caried it as hand luggage on flights for which it is ideal.

I did hesitate at the prce of lowepro, but this bag has proved well worth the money.
