Hello all, a mate of mine is looking to get himself a DSLR, so obviously I pointed him towards Pentax. The upshot is that He's no on the look out for a K5 kit, ideally a body and a couple of lens's, (18-55 55-200) He has some money in his paypal account so that would be the best method of payment.

Thanx for reading

I have a used K5 and a brand new 50mm f1.8 (I think). I am not too sure of the price so will be guided by what others recommend.

I've got the following coming up for sale at the end of the week.

Used K5 fully boxed with two batteries, grip, charger, remote, Pentax 35mm f2.8 with rubber hood (boxed), Pentax 12-24mm f4 with hood(unboxed).

The 12-24 lens add a fair bit to the cost of that package so it might be more than you're looking for.

I'm expecting to shift the lot at £820 including special delivery.

Thanx for the offer, but as you say, its more than he has in his kitty.

And due to a couple of dodgy wheel bearings his fund is under attack!!

He's looking at spending around £300, £350 max. I can sort him out a lens if all that around is a body.

Thanx All

Hiya, just thought I'd throw this in the mix as well, in case your friend is still looking?

https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/fs--pentax-k30-body---extra-battery--5060...

I can also include a mint condition DA18-55mm WR lens for £350 all in (Metal mount version with Quick-shift, 22 months SRS warranty left).

Do let me know if you are interested. Cheers!

Ahoy!

Assuming you do source a K-5, are you aware of these recommended settings and if so, would they be useful to your m8?

Handy little link - Just last night I decided to explore the menu system properly on my K5iis and after spending a little time reading about some of the options I know have it configured slightly better and played with "Catch in focus" for the first time - Thanks
