The price would be handy to know

Any scratches on the front element are exactly the same
as having a Starburst Filter.... if you had a cross for
example any light points would have a star radiating
from them.

A single scratch if it's wide and long will produce a line
right across the frame at any bright points, which could
also be reflections caused by a flashgun. You have
absolutely no control over it.

If it's bad I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole

I don't remember anyone reporting it. Dangermouse made a
few additional comments about it.

It had a lens originally but didn't get any bids.

It's been through before.... I don't think it sold
last time. I can't make out what use the extra knobs
are

With all cheap electronic copies you have to be
very careful.. there are a lot of crooks about

It's hard to believe that someone would deliberately
fake a capacitor like this one link I suppose if your
making thousands it becomes profitable

Be careful that Li-ion might have something smaller inside it

One problem would be if the battery gets too hot inside
the camera and distorts the plastic case so that you
can't get it out.

If Li-ion batteries are safe why won't Pentax risk
supplying them part-charged.

Nikon had a recall recently due to overheating batteries.

Well captured especially the first one... they are actually
jumping on that so moving quite fast.

I'll try it with a lens hood Algi, think I've got one knocking about but the lack of contrast was over the entire frame, not just certain areas, nothing that can't be fixed in photoshop I suppose.
Are you sure the elements are OK and clear. Sometimes the projecting rear element
(which screws off quite easily) goes a bit cloudy, but the lens still seems to work OK.

I couldn't believe that someone actually paid £112 on ebay for one
of these about a week ago. It had a problem with the rear element
and the quite common sticky iris. link

They usually go for about £65
