Hi Paul, Looks like CR Kennedy have looked after us in regard to the cost and availability of the K7. It's nice to see that they are selling well. I forgot to ask, but then I got to the shop about an hour after they arrived there (they already had a display one in the cabinet).
I'm retiring my *ist-D now and will work with the K10D for waving above sea water (I did this in Cairns and it's nicer than the istD to use) and the K7 where I'm not risking it so much. Have you turned on the electronic level? I occasionally don't notice I'm not level and having something to remind me I'm 1 degree off level might help (or it might just be a gimmick).
