Typical, so how long before we see the pictures?

I currently have in my sweaty little hands about £650.00 to spend on kit, this has given me quite a dilemma. I am not sure about which lens or lenses to replace with something better, or if I should get read of my K10D and replace it with a K20. My current kit list consists of:

Pentax K10D
Pentax 18-55 kit lens
Sigma 70-300 f5.6,
Pentax 28-80 3.5 FA
Pentax F 80-200


All these lenses are kit lenses and therefore not the sharpest, the one that irritates me the most is the Sigma 70-300. The problem I have is that being fairly new to this game I have not yet settled on any style of photography. I am out in the hills quite a lot and as a consequence take lots of landscapes, little bugs, birds and so on. At times I take pictures for website content, usually bits of metal or asbestos enclosures, I won't bore you with the details! The only area of photography I am uncomfortable with is taking portraits, just not that good a getting the best out of people. So any views or comments to stop me vacillating would be greatly appreciated.

For anyone that is interested pcworld now have some more Pentax 100mm Macros in stock.

I second that one, The German market can be quite good for night shots and of course the trees are nice.

We have not arranged anything in the North east yet, I would be game if it was Mid December, Any suggestions?

Hello Kfrog and welcome

Hi Matt & welcome to the forum.

Sorry about that, The penalty of posting at work whilst trying to stuff pizza in my face.

Great shot Barrie and to think I only took a side profile of her face. Although I would be good to see a colour version, she has striking red hair.

This is my version, although it is not the focus is a bit soft.

I wondered how long it would take you to upload that image Gareth!!!!
