Pentax DA*16-50mm F2.8ED AL (IF) SDM at old price

I have changed digital kit so I had a choice: either trade this in against new kit at SRS or similar, offer it to someone here, or put it on eBay.

I know what I will get in part exchange and it is attractive as I will be buying kit from the dealer. I have a fair idea what I'll get on eBay but it can be a pain. So I thought I would offer it here initially to someone who appreciates this fine lens at the pre-price-rise price of £475 plus £10 p&p

If you pay £500 plus P&P I will throw in the Hoya Pro 1 digital UV filter which cost over £50 and which has protected the lens from day one.

You'd be hard pressed to find this available at this price anywhere else as the new price is well over £800.

Optically perfect and in mint condition (not even signs of use as it has been used almost exclusively indoors on a tripod) and bought this year from SRS. Completely boxed with paperwork

PMs required please

no takers at the old price? hmm, must be the credit crunch

How about £450 for a quick sale?, otherwise I will simply trade it in with our favourite supplier and get a nice swap

Now SOLD thank you
