It seems to be quite a popular lens so I'm surprised it's been discontinued already.

Though the Tamron version has been replaced by an 18-270mm - though according to their website there isn't a Pentax version available yet. Maybe this will appear with a Pentax badge at some point?

Hi everyone. Last week we were lucky enough to take a trip to Vienna for a few days. We had a great time, visiting the Christmas Markets, Schonbrunn Palace and the Spanish Riding School. Vienna really is a beautiful city and these pics really don't do it justice (though I had 'sampled' the glühwein several times!)

My first trip since having my K10D so my pictures still have that 'holiday snap' look to them so would really appreciate any comments or tips on how to improve (not that I'm going back to Vienna any time soon ).

First of all the Rathaus (City Hall)

Highly recommend visiting if you ever have the opportunity.

Thanks for any comments

Why don't you ask SRS and see what they say?

They've probably read your post by now anyway

Welcome to the forum

That link was dead for me, but I found them at the uk site:

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/PENTAX-UK-LTD-OUTLET

Also noticed a PentaxUserUK shop - is that related to here?

Hi Prieni - I realised my problem after posting. I had made a mistake with the path name to the .exe

So it is straight forward as long as you have an eye for detail

Hi everyone

I know there are a lot of Silkypix users here and wondered if any of you have successfully created a Picasa button to 'open in Silkypix'?

I tried following the Picasa Button API tutorial here but haven't managed to get it working. I can create the button, but it doesn't do anything when I press it ...

The example in the tutorial (open in Photoshop CS3) works fine.

I was hoping someone with a better understanding than me had got it working (and would hopefully make it available )

Thanks

Nice shots - I visited Barcelona last year for a long weekend and we had a fantastic time, that first image brings back happy memories.

I thought all Pentax users were young and attractive?

Hi

I usually use PhotoBox for printing but I'm wanting to get some mono images printed - has anyone used PhotoBox for black & white printing or could you recommend someone else.

Thank you

I know this lens is 'imminent' - but I'm not convinced it will be available before my trip next June!

Anyway, I'm hoping that someone will upgrade to the Pentax and sell me their Sigma cheap!

Hi pikipoki - welcome to the forum and thank you for the reply. My plan is still to go with the Sigma 100-300mm + 1.4TC (if required).
