FS: Pentax K5 Silver - Mint, & Lenses

Happy is probably an understatement to be honest

You originally paid £450 for a Silver K-5, 18-135mm, DA 21mm and FA 43mm?
Think you either got the bargain of the century or a bit muddled there

Anyway, glad you got what you wanted and congrats to Steve Coe for getting the (second) bargain of the century.

£450? OP was asking £900, so if that was 50% of what he originally paid it makes that figure £1800.

Thanks for clarifying that, I paid £1800 to Ffordes about 21 months ago for all the kit sold now.
Trade / part ex value was £600.

Ooops, will teach me to read slower. Thought it said 50% more than what he paid

Anyway, trade/PX value may have been £600 but a quick sale (although probably not 6 minutes) on here would have probably got double that.

Still, as long as the OP is happy ....

Thanks to Bill for a pleasant and easy transaction. My wife mentioned recently that she would like a better camera, she tried my K10, but found it too bulky for her small hands and preferred my K5, so the K5 Silver and 18-135 are a present for her.

We are off to the Lakes at the end of the month, so it will be interesting to see what she captures.

I should add that before anyone comments on my genorosity, I should also say that my prime interest was in the Ltd lenses, especially the FA43. So far the ploy as worked, as no comments have been made about the two new lenses on the shelf.

Regards - Steve

I like your style!

Congrats to the new owners and seller! I think we're all a bit jealous

Not of the seller
