Hi, a good collection of cameras. We seem to have followed the same road, Pentax, Contax and then back to pentax. Didnt keep any old Pentax stuff but still have Contax 139 with acessories. Was interesting to see your photo of Contax as mine ended up in same condition i.e. leather on body wearing away, but it was well used.

Welcome to Forum, just joined myself and good to see a fellow Scts person.

Thanks for the feedback, I bought a K100D Super late last year for £145, thats brand new with lense, courtesy of Asda price...lol, thought it was a bargain. Its a great camera and was wondering about a 2nd body. Maybe should save up and go for a K20d,

Would love to shop local but there are no Pentax dealers in the whole of Scotland, and not even many good photography shops....I am not counting Jessops in this as the no longer stock Pentax and are just a "box" seller.

Thanks for the information. Going to the shop to try them out sounds a good idea, but....neither Pentax or Metz have any stockists in Scotland which means a 400+ mile round trip to the nearest one. Not the best of situations.

Was just wondering if anyone knew if there was anywhere with stock of new K100D super bodies or body + lens kit? Thanks.

Hello all, Just got back into photography after a few years gap and last year bought a K100D with Tamron tele lens. Also got a Jessops 360 gun which I have not had very good results with.....varying degrees of exposure, mostly under to very dark result. Was speaking to someone who said that you only get best results with pentax flash?. Any other feedback on this as I have been looking at the Pentax AF540 and also the Metz 58, which i have to say is my preference.

Thanks for your welcome and information, all the way from Germany and Norway!!
