I'm not surprised. If I didn't already have a K3iii, 16-85mm and 55-300mm I'd have jumped at it at that price!

This came along a week or two too late for me, I’d have snapped your hand off a couple of weeks ago!
Though I’m not looking to buy, I just wanted to stop in as a recent 55-300mm PLM owner and say what a superb lens it is. By some distance it’s the best performing APS-C tele zoom I’ve tried and is unbelievably compact and light.

Yes, tis a brill lens, but sometimes/frequently those birds are just too far away ;-( This came along a week or two too late for me, I’d have snapped your hand off a couple of weeks ago!

Theres also a flash gun, which I got for a project and never used.
Its a SIGMA EF 610 DG ST PA TTL Pentax one.
Tried it with new batteries tother day BUT it didnt work - so I've put that in the set as a freebie - probably needs better batteries that the ones lurking in the kitchen drawer.

That’s is pretty much my exact kit (though i have the original K-3).
Highly recommend this to others. If you have not tried the newer lens combo here it will be revolutionary when coming from the screw drive technology.

I've had a message asking for a better photo of the minimal cosmetic damage and can't seem to see how to reply via the messaging system with a jpg file, so here it is:-

Thanks Richard - yes, the speed and accuracy of these lenses certainly is brill - esp when connected to the K-3iii

Correction - the 16-85 lens is NOT PLM as per initial advert photo - it's just an HD PENTAX-DA 16-85mm f3.5-5.6 ED DC WR lens!

I bought the K3iii, received today.
Just as described, phenomenally well packed and as a tribute to the weather covered in a poly bag.
Thank you Adrian, I look forward to using at least 5% of the capability of this device

My K-3iii has just over 13k actuations.
£1,000 inc UK mainland postage, but can also be collected in the Hull area. Includes spare batteries, battery charger, PDF manual etc etc
The ony fault with it is cosmetic in that it has a scratch on the back of the baseplate edge where it caught on a fence when a car tried to squash me against a bridge when I was trying to take a decent photo of a kingfisher! (This minor war wound can be hidden with the use of a permanant black felt pen/marker of course)
Also for sale is my wonderful, but infrequently used, 16-85 HD DA ED WR DC lens. I am doing more wildlife photography now - so prefer my longer zoom.
Included lens caps, UV filter, lens hood etc £300 inc UK mainland postage, but can also be collected in the Hull area.
55-300 PLM HD DA ED WR f4.5/5.6 Pentax zoom lens. This is great and focusses so speedily and almost silently.
£300 inc UK mainland postage, but can also be collected in the Hull area.
The whole lot can be had for £1,500.
Bank transfer or PayPal friends and family - or even cash on collection welcomed!
