Wanted : K7

Posted 10/09/2012 - 09:23 Link
Hello there,

I have a budget of around £350 and am looking for a K7 and an accompanying zoom lens to upgrade from my K100d, which I purchased from here a few years ago and has seen me through till now, but the time has come for something new due to some sensor issues with the K100d, which I am very sad about.

Does any one have anything suitable?

Thanks!

If you wanted to consider a Gx20 (K20 clone) then I have one here. Noise wise theres not a lot difference in the sensor from my experience with the GX20 and K7.

Oh no Paul, that would have been ideal, what a shame! Fingers crossed someone else will have something

Thankyou for your offer George but I am going to hold out for a K7

Thankyou both

Thanks everyone, pms have been sent,

My K100d sensor has some mold growth on it, ive had it checked and it is definately not dust and there is no way to remove it. Its due to my previous home which was a listed mannorhouse converted in to flats which had some serious damp issues. Despite storing it carefully away in its box for a couple of months it seems sillica alone wasnt enough to save the sensor, nor my tamron 55-200. I am Gutted!

I wouldn't bin the k100d Jemma. You won't get the normal price for it, but someone might be willing to buy it to take the AA filter off. Some people do this to convert it to IR and if the sealing on the sensor is ok and only the AA filter is affected then it would be useful to them.
