Any Interest

This really isn't the best way to go about this.
If you are selling, then Classified Ads is the place this should be, preferably with prices. We won't have much idea if we are interested if we have no idea how much you want.
If there are no takers here, then eBay.
Would you like me to move this to Classifieds so it gets noticed by those who are looking for things to buy?

Thanks George you have reminded me why I left. I think you will find that I was the last to start any arguments. I really don't think your comment was neccessary or justified - however it was in character. I seem to remember your name appears in most arguments.beginner wrote:

Gareth, if you are still interested in the lens I will price it and sell it to you if you agree.
I had a pm about one other lens which I will deal with directly.
The rest of the kit is withdrawn. I knew it was a mistake offering it on here.
Enjoy your Pentaxes

Enjoy your Nikon, and remember, the Internet is more fun if you assume everyone is just joking around. You'll be right >99% of the time, and the people you'll be wrong about you can safely ignore.
you don't have to be mad to post here

I can't say I've seen any serious rows or flame wars here.
Used Pentax gear prices seem to rise continually, especially for A series or later lenses. That said I have seen some sanity returning to M series primes with a few 50mm f2s for around the £20 mark and a number of 135mm f3.5s for around £30.

Talk about sour grapes! I don't even remember your name, but first impressions haven't been good

Your right it was a mistake. This is the 'General Chat' forum, you should have put it in 'Classifieds'George Lazarette wrote:

Seriously though, for your own sanity and well being, it would be best not to take everyone's comments so seriously.
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

The fights are usually pretty entertaining while they last and they invariably end in tears.

If memory serves there was a very heated thread about defection to Nikon, for some rather spurious reasons which were later proved to look a bit silly.

Oh, I remember now! Actually in that case I retract my earlier comment about first impressions (apologies, PB). I do think the reasons were a bit questionable, but I also remember a lot of unjustified anger directed at her about it.

I still think it's a bit silly to withdraw the other bits just because a couple of people had a pop at you. That's life, especially on the internet.

I don't think it was PB who was the subject of the "defection" thread though.

That 12MP Nikon sensor is absolutely astonishing at ISO 1600, but there are too many issues with the Nikon system that means my Pentax kit will stay with me, FF and the lack of VR on some lenses. Mike-Ps point about the lack of Pentax glass above 300 is hard to justify as the Nikkor AF-S 300 f4 marks the high end of the affordable primes - at least Canon still offer a 400 mm f5.6.
