K10D, Takumar 300, Jupiter 9
“We must avoid however, snapping away, shooting quickly and without thought, overloading ourselves with unnecessary images that clutter our memory and diminish the clarity of the whole.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson -
PRICE REDUCED - £350 FOR ALL
And yes, it is on eBay, I put it on my girlfriends account, as I have reached my selling limit for this month due to a scammer. Darn eBay still counts it as a sae, through I cancelled it. Extremely baaad english from a person with british name and surname, absolute lack of any idea what are manual lenses etc.. and referring to it all as "item" were enough reason for me to suspect something fishy and cancel the sale.
Do you find this price too high? Really?

As it can be seen - it has seen a lot of action.

Now for some sample shots - not the best subject, but the day is grey and I have lots of work to do by the comp, so that's the best I could do for now.
Aperture fully open ( f2):

Aperture fully closed (f22):

Aperture 5.6:

Despite the beat up look, its focusing is extremely smooth and aperture blades are great. Nothing is stiff or too loose. So I'd say -not bad for a freebie you get with otherwise great kit.

The k10d is in great condition, has 1 small scratch on rear lcd, which is almost unnoticeable and does not affect the performance in any way. Shutter count is about 20 000, so still plenty of life in in, battery is still performing as new, goes for around 500 shots without the flash with no problems. Takumar 300 is in good condition as well, comes with the built in lens hood, tripod collar and original case.
