Seen one online with a retailer used for £250 but don't know if that's a good price so A) is it and B) is anyone selling one here before I pull the trigger.

Thanks

I bid £200 on it but the person before/after me must have done the same as I was outbid

I have both a HD (Red Ring) and a non-HD (Green Ring) - I've done enough testing to know that the HD version doesn't make enough difference for me say it is greatly superior, so I will be selling either one of them.

If anyone wants the HD it would be £285 or the non-HD would be £245.

Gareth - if the one you've seen online is HD then I think £250 is a really good price

I sold an HD absolute minter on this forum 4 weeks ago for £225!

Lots of gear - but not a lot of idea!

I sold mine for about the same, although mine wasn't the HD version.
They often come up for sale when you aren't looking for one

The lens itself is outstanding, one of the best lenses I've ever used - and that's ignoring the macro capabilities.

Gulp - I didn't realise how cheap they had become - I'll hang on to both for now, there are a few Pentaxians in the family who like to try out stuff Sorry Gareth, but I'm sure someone here will make you an offer

Okay, how about a standard deal instead and not a super deal
