Does seem to be a lot lately, prices also see to be generaly falling. Wonder how much of this is the push to get a K5? or is it a sign of a failing economy.
I have bought 2 flashes and 2 lenses in the last 3 months, not because I need them now, more due to good pricing, and me stocking up.

Seem to be a lot of K-7s being sold, probably due to the K-5 cashback. I was going to put mine on but I may keep it until things have died down a bit.
Prices do seem to have dropped a bit on the common items but the more exotic lenses are still holding up well.

At least on here you don't have to fight with Canon buyers
(apart from Mike that is )
There's some stuff on Ebay going for buttons. This 400mm f/5.6
Mitsuki M42 link went for £16 yesterday and it had already been
through once because it didn't get any bids. The photo isn't
very good but I'm sure it's a rebadged Tokina OK from
f/8 onwards.
1.7x AF adapters seem to be going for good prices £330+
Tempted to sell one of mine

Must admit I have been thinking about selling mine as I only use it on the A* 300mm f2.8 now I am using the Canon for macro. Trouble is it is such a fantastic combination for when I want something better than the Bigma.

it's a tough crowd on here re K7s. Best offer I had for mine was £320 so I stuck it on ebay and got £420

I think it was probably my influence. I brought my K7 at the beginning of last month, so there was BOUND to be a glut of them at better prices shortly afterwards!Seem to be a lot of K-7s being sold, probably due to the K-5 cashback.

Same with K20Ds
Guess that deprives Chris of a K5 sale, I'm not going to devalue the K20D to such an extent just to get better AF/ISO (I've got the D3 for that).....

Isn't it the way of the world, I wont say what I paid for my telly but that was 5 yrs ago so I've had 5yrs enjoyment instead of waiting till the price dropped
