Some of you may remember my purchase of a Horseman 5x4 view camera (see thread). I went to Royston yesterday to try it out and my lady love took the following snap. She wanted me to enter it into the "people at work" competition but I thought it was more "people at play". I really must get a proper dark cloth
Best wishes, Kris.
Best wishes, Kris.

My advice, go play with them. The shop in question is more than happy to let you try things out. You might find you prefer the smaller size and lighter weight of the K-m or you might prefer the control the dual wheel set-up gives you on the K20D. I, personally, am waiting for the glut of second hand K20Ds as people who need the latest gadget buy the K-7 Meanwhile, as someone said, you'd be hard pushed to prise the K10D out of my hands. As to the kit lens, they are highly variable. Mine is great and I use it quite a bit, others have had poorer examples, or perhaps I should say examples which are poorly matched to their body.
Best wishes, Kris.

Well judged as always and congrats to Lilly. Looking forward to the next one. Oh, and thanks for my second place!
Cheers, Kris.

The kit (18-55mm) lens is highly variable and some have had dire ones, some rather good ones. I am lucky that my Mk 1 kit lens seems to be in the latter category.
Having said that, your primes should be much sweeter than the photographs you have posted.

Kris,
You've made me worry I've overpaid now! I was hoping to pick it up for about £500 and then sell the body to get a little bit back but I decided with it being for a charity I would go a bit higher. I think I'll be selling on a couple of other things to pay for it though.

Generally prices on ebay are going up, probably due to the weak pound making European bidders push the price a little higher. I don't think you particularly paid over the odds, but it wasn't the outright bargain suggested by the previous post. I'd rather like that lens myself, but I have succumbed to LBA too much lately and have decided to call a halt to new lenses for a while.Kris,

I'd love to know what you think of the lens and how it performs on a digital camera.
Best wishes, Kris.
