Selling a K1 in excellent condition. With box and everything supplied if bought new. Shutter count no more than 15000, probably considerably less. I will verify, along with taking pics tomorrow.

The sensor needs a clean, and there is a tiny black speck in the viewfinder. Again, I will demonstrate the sensor, with an image tomorrow.

Asking £770 including RMSD.

Next I have a mint, boxed Samyang 14mm f/2.8.

Asking for £185 including RMSD.

Thanks for looking 🙂

This is confirmation of the shutter count, as anticipated much less than the 15000 I conservatively quoted.

Here's a pic of the sky at f/32 to show the sensor dust/debris...

...just to clarify, the lines are telephone wires!

On taking that shot, I realised there is also fine dust in the viewfinder. Not apparent in normal shooting, but visible on a blank sky. Here is a phone shot through the viewfinder to give you an idea...

I have looked after the camera during ownership. The issues, I have pointed out are due to hastily changing to a telephoto lens in my car, whilst the blower was on...lesson learned! Thanks for looking 🙂

Hi Vejj,

Is the K1 still available for sale?

My camera decided to break down just days before departure

Thank you

Great! May I ask you were are you based? I'm in London. I'd be glad if we could arrange for an exchange in person.

Unfortunately I'm flying on Friday so I'm not sure if there would be enough time for shipping it.

Thank you in advance.

Marco

Superb price for a quality lens (and a great guy to deal with too!)

I have a post with some images taken with one of these if you want to get an idea of what it can do
