Fair enough, but I just think you'll get a lower price selling it here or through a UK shop.
Each to their own though, I'll still be interested to know what one of these beasts actually fetches!

If you want any help with eBay listings then send me a PM - I've sold quite a few high-worth items on there and I ship all over the world. Although I'd probably leave it until the new year now as I know from previous years there are fewer bidders sat at their PC's over the festive season...

Shame on Pentax indeed for not matching the colors of cheapo 2000 to the old glory of 300/2.8!
As to the noise, I usually stick to ISO 200 as well and yes you can see the difference but it's surprising how little noise you get on 1600 on K20D with little overexposure. This image is straight from the camera (sorry, focus on the left eye): http://www.flickr.com/photos/51031191@N00/3311774938/in/photostream/
and this is with noise supressed and oversharpened:

Both are full 14.5 MP, no cropping. Let me know if you have problems seeing the full size images.
Also, BTW, some guy from Japan, professional dealer with expensive Pentax gear, has just recently sold on ebay 300/2.8 FA for a $3000 and 250-600/4 FA for $6000 if I remember correctly.
