Pentax K20D
BTW in case anyone was wondering what the thing was on the lower left corner of the rear LCD, it's a tear in the stick-on plastic screen protector. The LCD underneath it is pristine.
Current copies of this are going for 290+ plus P&P on ebay, so I reckon this represents good value.
If anyone has lingering doubts about the cracked viewfinder, believe me it has no effect whatsoever in use. Not sure why - I guess because the focal point of the eye is on what is viewed through the viewfinder rather than the VF glass itself, but science never was my strong point.
If anyone is curious about why I'm selling - I kept it as a backup in case my K5 went wrong (hard to put things like this right in Sri Lanka). But it just seems silly having such a good camera sitting idle and so I would rather put its value towards feeding LBA.

The one blemish is a crack on the viewfinder. However this makes no difference in use whatsoever, as it is invisible when you put your eye to the viewfinder which appears as normal. I don’t even know how/when it happened (probably when travelling by plane) as because it is invisible in use it took me a while to notice it. I guess it would be easy to replace with another s/h focusing screen which I understand are widely available. However, I never bothered and used the camera like this for two years until I got my K5 recently. It only makes a difference cosmetically, none in use. Other than this the body is perfect – including the rear-LCD which has a plastic protector on it (see pics).
Bearing in mind the cracked viewfinder I’m offering this as a potential bargain for someone at £270 + P&P
I will be able to send this either from Greece (from 29th June) or from the UK (from the 29th July) depending on preference (or patience).
