Thanks, I'll check that out

I am based in the UK and will be flying over for the racing weekend.

Looking at the kata again, you are right, it is much bigger than I thought.

Going to a shop would be best but now that Jessops has gone, I don't have a dealer anywhere near me.

Here's the problem. I am going to Assen for the MotoGP later this year. I want to take my K5 and Tamron 70-200 2.8 and need something to carry them in. I can either use a backpack just big enough for this combination, or use some other protective bag and put that inside a regular backpack.

Travel to and from the circuit is by bicycle so I don't want anything huge

I was looking at a Kata KT D-3N1-20 but I'm not sure if the lens would fit.

Any suggestions?

TIA

Lens arrived safe and well.
really looking forward to using this one
Thanks Sue

I am trying. Have contacted the seller twice now. Still waiting for a reply

PM sent. Offer made

I have a 58mm F2 Helios lens with a K mount. Would sell for around £35 if you are interested. Lens is in Very good condition, I just don't use it as I have a Pentax KA 50mm 1.7

There is a huge difference between the algorithm that compresses pictures and compression used for backup.

The backup program requires no knowledge of the file type it is trying to compress. It will simply try to reduce the file size as much as possible with the intention of later uncompressing it to re-create the file exactly as it was before. The algorithm use dwill always give you back exactly what you started with.

It is probably the case that the compression software will be unable to shrink oompressed image files anyway, in the same way that it is unlikely you will be unable co compress a zip file any further

Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply. Some great images there. I had just about convinced myself to buy the lens from SRS, and then my car decided to destroy it's gearbox. I think the lens budget will have to be re-allocated

might just get a set of tubes for now
