After all but leaving Pentax last year, then coming back to try again followed by some months of debate over my Pentax gear, weight considerations v quality of the images etc. I have finally decided to leave Pentax and just concentrate on my Olympus micro 4/3 equipment. Although I have loved Pentax for over 40 years my Olympus gear is so much lighter and for the use I give it the results are very acceptable.

I am therefore selling all the following, all prices including UK postage. Please PM me if you are genuinely interested and want to see some photos of a particular lens or lenses (let me have your email address) or if you have any questions. All lenses are in great condition with no cosmetic, optical or mechanical problems.

DA* 16-50mm f2.8, just back from a service at Pentax main service agents JD solutions including a new SDM system, £475.
DA* 50-135mm f2.8 £500.
DA* 60-250mm f4 £650.
DA* 55mm f1.4 £350.

This is a nice fully working copy of this camera. It is in good condition in its original box with the user manual (there is only one very slight mark on the top of the pop up flash housing as can just be seen in the photos). I am also including the Pentax FG battery grip and a replacement genuine Pentax neck strap. The battery grip takes AA batteries and, in my opinion, makes for a more convenient and balanced camera. No batteries are included. £65 including UK postage.

CAMERA & GRIP NOW SOLD and off to Finland today.

Just a warning - it has turned out that Royal Mail accepts batteries connected to the camera for most European countries but not to Finland where they will not accept ANY batteries in parcels. The same seems to apply to other couriers too.
