Welcome. I get many lenses here. Prices are slightly lower than ebay mostly as there are no fees. If you hang about there will be something that turns up or letting it be known you are looking for something will often get an offer from somebody that you can negotiate on if you want.
Lurking is shirking.!

SRS Microsystems have a reasonable stock of nice second hand lenses. Chris sometimes posts lists of special price S/H gear too

Thanks for the advice, that's great to hear. I've really gone off ebay.
After the 2 kit lenses, what have people gone for with their K10/K20/K7/K5? Is the DA* series as waterproof as the WR range? I guess I'm looking to spend ~£400, and second hand is fine by me.

I previously had a K100 super, and have finally upgraded to a K7. Tough call on the K5, but I thought the money saved could go towards a nice lens. Where do people by their good second hand pentax lenses from? Years ago I used to get them on ebay, but it seems to be all foreign shops and not many auctions
All the best,
Aaron
