Hi and welcome.

The Charles Eagle shop in Durham doesn't carry a large amount of Pentax stock, try the Sunderland branch it is bigger. Do some price comparison homework before you go they mark things up steeply, but will negotiate.

The 55-300 is cheaper thank SRS at the moment.

Hi George, welcome.

Welcome David

Welcome Ken, make yourself at home.

Welcome back, I can now scrape my jaw back of the floor. The thought of no more amazing bubbles was inconceivable.

I have just come across this site, I wonder how genuine its is or if they are all grey imports?

Dougf8: sorry to see your GX20 is ( dead ), I one dropped my old pentax film camera face down on the kitchen floor. It hit a metal pipe and shattered the glass on my lens.



Did you use super glue? That aside, I can see the benefit of having a 100 macro if you have to get that close.



Sounds like a fairly safe solution, although I would have reservations about the 18-55 MK II. My biggest frustration is images that are very soft, let alone all the other distortions my current 18-55 leaves me to deal with during post processing. It would have to be a great improvement, although the weather sealant is a plus. I will have a look for the 100m Samsung equivalent, see what I can find.

You bet!!!!!!! so much choice and so little cash. Well I hesitated for so long that the 100mm macro has gone.


My Unlocker what a captain of finance you are, I had to read your solution at least five time to keeps up with you Never the less a good insight into how to play the lens market, thanks. As for tempting me with a K7 that was worse than Stefan's suggestion of the Bigma

Stefan, I have some really big containers with liquid nitrogen in our factory, exploding flowers are great fun!!!!

Sounds like good advice Doug, I will take all the suggestions given and have a look through some reviews. The 100mm Macro looks a good deal I was pondering if it was worth a punt and if I would still make my money back if I did not like it.
