K10D, Takumar 300, Jupiter 9

Posted 03/05/2011 - 10:44 Link
I have for sale my trusty Pentax K10D with kit lens. Takumar 300/4 manual lens with original hard case, as-new Sigma 530 DG-ST flash. Will throw in a battered looking, but fully operational Jupiter-9 lens (85/2) and split-prism focusing screen.
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.

It would be helpful to show photographs of them and know how much you want for the items and where they are located.

I will upload pics as soon as I get home this evening. Location is Derby, East Midlands. If really necessary, I could meet with the buyer in Nottingham. Royal Mail signed for is also an option. I am looking at approx. £400, but reasonable offers will be considered.

Sorry for the late reply - exam time for me. I really want to sell the kit all together.

Do you find this price too high? Really?

Thats why I wrote I'll throw it in for free. To be honest, I haven't noticed too obvious effects of those marks, apart from a random flare sometimes. The Jupiter lens came to me like this, I took it to a camera workshop where they did disassembled it and cleaned and re-lubricated the focus thread. Now it works very smooth and nice. I will try to get better pics of Jups front element and do some test shots over the next couple of days, so you can judge for yourself, if its in working condition.

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.

Seems like a great price to me, I'd just hang on a bit longer. I've just come back from a 5 week holiday and am now paying the bills, otherwise I'd buy it myself

Ok, here are some pics with the Jupiter-9

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.

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.

Just to be clear about the shipping - I would prefer lcoal pick up, but we can arrange shipping as well. If yo want it shipped outside UK, keep in mind that the postage will be expensive, as I will only send it fully tracked and insured and its quite a heavy package.
