Bought off Lenny here. Paid £200 for the camera, and since then, I've added a 18-55mm WR lens that cost an additional £50. This lens was chosen as it doesn't have any hot spots when the aperture is stopped down. Anyways, I've bought another camera (not Pentax) on a BNPL so I'm selling this on to recoup some costs to pay it off before the interest kicks in!

I'll post some images up if any interest. Camera doesn't need any filters as its a 720nm converted camera. With a custom white balance that's now in camera, it delivers stunning images in high contrast. The blue IR is a custom profile in LR.

Selling the camera and lens for what I paid for the camera, which is £200 plus P&P.

Please note. The camera has a qwirk! If shooting at say f16 and you want to open the lens up, it'll go f16, f14, f11, f9, and then back to f16! A quick battery pull and it can select larger apertures. I personally left it on f11 and forgot about it!

Here are a few samples images from the camera, with the included 18-55mm lens.

Lovely example photo's. I'd very much like to have a play arpund with IR but I don't have enough time as it is to play with what I've got...

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, vintage lenses and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!

So I was selling the camera on for what I paid for it, so in theory the lens is free with the camera. I could either take a tenner off, or send it with free P&P instead? I don't have a use for the lens so ideally I'd want it to go together.
