FS: Pentax DA 18-250mm

After a year or so of having it, I've decided I don't really use it enough to justify keeping my 18-250 (and the proceeds of selling it should add a bit to my K-5 fund)

As you can see from the pictures, it is in very good cosmetic condition - it hasn't had a lot of use. The only blemish I can find is a small scuff to the edge of the lens cap (shown in the final picture).

Mechanically it is also in very good condition. There zoom ring is precise and operates as smoothly as would be expected for a plastic lens and the focus ring moves smoothly throughout the range. The diaphragm is snappy and shows no sign of oil on the blades.

Optically there are one or two tiny specks of internal dust if you look closely (probably due to the zoom action) but nothing abnormal or that affects the picture quality. The front and rear elements are in excellent shape and are free from any marks or scratches.

I haven't got the hood or original packing, but it has been stored carefully and hasn't had a lot of use. If there's anything I've omitted above or you've got any further questions (or want more, specific pictures), don't hesitate to PM me.

I'm looking for £270 delivered in the UK (as the going rate for BIN on similar lenses on eBay seems to be £300-£350).
