Sorry to hear about the loss of your dog,your Pet. That really shocks one's system. Hope you have fond memories of her.
Kindest regards,
Sean

Hi Mark,
You could just get a battery and a roll of film, that would be the least expensive option.

Hi Mark,
Wonderful looking kit, the UK price of the FA* 28-70mm is generally around £600-£700, depending on condition.
Currently London Camera exchange has one at a high price of £799, (http://www.lcegroup.co.uk/Used/Pentax-AF-28-70mm-F2.8-AL_14401.html). I bought one in SRS for less than that; they do show up every so often.
I think if you decide to sell, you should only sell as a kit.
You may decide to use the kit yourself or just the lens and get enjoyment from it?
Best of luck

Thanks to all again for the welcome,
StephenLewis, Of course my LBA is cured, maybe just one more! Actually worse than that, it may have developed into BBA (Body Buying Addiction, K-5) of which there is only one cure as you probably know, Buy-It.
i-Berg, Love your shots in ‘Post something similar’ thread!
Gwyn Thank you for that, Have emailed Chris@SRS directly on Saturday but have yet to hear from him. Hope I got his email address correct as didn’t realise I had 30 days probation on PM’s.

Only been to Ireland once - to County Cork. It is on my list to revisit, armed with my new K5 .

Thanks to all for the welcome,
Gwyn/Weldingblues
Ireland is a great country, I do not photograph it as much as I’d like, generally going somewhere and kids in tow. My favourite places are Kerry, West Cork, Galway, Wicklow and Antrim.
Loved The Netherlands when visited about 15 years ago, and Britain’s’ countryside is impressive.

Thank you Gwyn,
Ireland is the correct answer, Wish I could say 'you win €500 cashback on next Dslr/lense purchase’, but I can not. Well deduced.
I have seen that price, and I agree with you that price may come down.
I will see I long I can last

Hello All,
I am Sean, joined today, but have been reading Pentax User UK for 7 years or so, when I get the time. I thought I had joined previously but seems not.
Anyway have been using Pentax for over 30 years. Used my Fathers K1000 in the 70's and loved it, Cost of developing and waiting for the prints was a worry then. When Vivitar 210 zoom arrived, could not get enough use. Bought a SuperProgram in the 80's so I could use that zoom lens. Had a great time with the limited equipment I had. That camera/or me, let me down at a friends wedding and gave up taking photographs for about six to seven years.
Bought the *ist film camera on its release and K10D and K20 since. Tempted with K-7 but could not really afford it as have spent a little on lenses in the last few years, I am now cured of my LBA, maybe just one more!
If the K-5 come under 1000Euro's I will have to bite, I think, but can't ask anyone that question as all here could be biased. The French deal looks good, have been checking Srs daily but no price announced there as yet and have been holding out giving them a call, but will probably be over £1100st (1260Euro) is a bit steep for me! Do see two UK sites at under £1000, but I do prefer to deal with camera shops. Maybe that indicates the launch price?
Regards
Sean

Exactly what I was looking for, and at that price, but too slow,(Wow! they went quickly) and too far away in Ireland, I would have paid the extra postage. Great offer to PentaxUsers.
