You could probably buy a K10D/GX10 on ebay and sell it a week later for not very much loss, postage and say £20 loss. You could have a week and see what works and if it feels good. If not flog the lot and buy brand "C" equipment or get a nice shiny K-X, K-7 or wait and see what comes out of Photokina in the next few months whilst using the K10D.
Lurking is shirking.!

Forgot the fees! Ebay fees suck.

I more than remember the ME Super, I've got two of them (one silver, and just bought a black one). Lovely shutter sound and a pleasing weight, although the MX is probably tougher.

Jessops have a very poor reputation hereabouts, with good reason from what I've seen and heard of them. They've gone from being a photography shop to an electronics retailer who stock cameras. IMO the rot set in when they stopped selling used gear, as there was no longer any need for the staff to be knowledgeable about the product beyond what they could learn from the box!

I have four! LOL... Two black and two silver. One of the silver ones is my original first ever SLR but sadly it is now dead

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Thanks for the help folks. Sorry if I was unclear, the lenses are all Sigma,
no, you weren't unclear, I just managed to miss that word in your original post somehow. Oops!

welcome to the forum, I hope you buy a shiny new Pentax or at least dust off that MZ-5 (it's still a fine piece of kit!) and stick around.
you don't have to be mad to post here



but it does help
