I keep reading the term 'bokeh', I don't wish to sound daft, but wassit mean?


Serious answers / mickey taking all recieved gratefully.

Ta.

Give Jessops customer service a call. I was told that Londonderry had stock. I can't confirm this as I didn't need to call them as I had called Poole first. Initially I called Ashford, but despite Customer Service saying there was stock, it was not to be. Good luck.

Read this thread at the weekend and thought i'd probably missed the boat.
After speaking to Jessops customer service dept on Monday, found a grip in stock in Poole, spoke nicely to them and they agreed to send it to my local store. I was told it would be £22.49.
Received the call today to say it was in, went along and was charged the princely sum of £9.97.
Happy days.

I've been saying this for years.

Being new and fairly inexperienced I am looking for some advice as to my next lens purchase.
I currently use a K10D with standard 18-55 kit lens along with a 75-300 zoom.

I am looking for a better quality short zoom to replace the kit lens. Initially I was considering the Sigma 17-70, but having read several reviews on this and other forums, the Pentax 50-135 appeals. I am aware that the price of the Pentax is double that of the Sigma and is set to rise again.

Is the Pentax worth the extra, I was always taught, "buy the best glass you can afford".

I photograph a wide variety of subjects and am looking for a good quality general purpose lens.

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.

I see.

No, actually I nicked it off a mate who usually goes buy the name HansDatdodishes on forums.

No, why?

Thanks for the welcome.

I've been lurking here for a while, so thought it was about time I introduced meself.

I bought a K10D and am looking to upgrade the standard kit lens, probably for a Sigma 17-70. Your views on this lens would be appreciated.
