Pentax Sale

You do realise that the FA 28-80 and 80-320 lenses will be fully compatible with your new DSLR right? The 28-80 is probably not that useful a range on a 1.5x crop DSLR, but the 80-320 is a reasonable long telephoto and works perfectly with any K mount camera including the K20D.

I imagine you know this already, but I wouldn't want you to suddenly discover it after the lens was sold and kick yourself.

I wouldnt mind seeing photos of the equipt

Hi Roscoe, I would be interested in 80-320 lens but would not drive this distance to collect. If you would consider paid postage I would consider. Cheers.

May I ask why you will not post?

Ooo now I'm jealous! the DA is certainly better than the FA for DSLRs. I didn't know you had the DA and just didn't want to see you sell a good lens and regret it later.

If I didn't already have one, I'd buy the FA from you, it's a very fine lens for its time and price.

Yes, because it causes problems, as the post down here is crap, it would mean using a carrier, such as CityLink,and having to purchase packaging materials, which means on going costs, and I prefer the buyer to view the equipment to fully appreciate the "as new condition"![/quote]Just use RM SD ND.

And the cost of materials will be paid by the buyer. Restricting sales to people near Stanford-le-Hope is rather shooting yourself in the foot, I should have thought.

Yes, you'll not notice many Essex Pentax Users on here for some reason. Lots to the west of London, and the North, but Essex/Kent I think I can probably count on one hand.

I'd be interested in the flash and the diffusers but I'm not spending half a day going to Stanford-le-Hope to get it!

Cheers, Kris.

To be fair, an hour and a half each way would be three hours, which would end up as pretty much half a day.

Posting is not as onerous as you might fear. A strong box, some bubble wrap, some tape and a label and Royal Mail Special Deilvery will get the goods to their destination the next day in the UK.

I really do sympathise with such a dreadful daily work journey. I'm sure she has better things to do than waste three hours a day travelling.

Twice a month I used to, until very recently, leave the house at 6am to get to Dollgellau by 08:15 - that was a tough day as I ended up in Barmouth before making my way home for another 2.5 hours....so I know what it feels like.

As John said, an hour and a half each way plus time to chat. make the transaction etc and half a day is gone. I used to commute from Southampton to London every day which was two hours each way, now I motorcycle from Herts to London which is 3/4 to 1 hour each way depending on weather and traffic. The same journey by public transport takes 1 3/4 hours despite being 1/4 of the distance from Southampton. Ugh.

Average traffic speed in central London is now slower than it was in 1880!

Best wishes, Kris.

And there's Peter Elgar, and Viewfinder, and... er... hmmm...

On my workshops I tend to find probably about 50% Canon, 40% Nikon, and 10% 'others'.

Dan

So are you going to post or not?

In other words, do you want to sell it or not?

Has anybody else noticed that Roscoe's comments in this thread, including the one that started it, have disappeared?

Perhaps Peter Roskilly didn't like some of the questions we were asking.

I wonder why?

Perhaps Peter Roskilly, did not receive any offers, to buy his equipment?
