I am travelling to the UK next week (7th Jan) and am picking up a K5 from Mathers of Lancashire (where I bought my K7), and consequently I want to sell my K7 body. I could get the K5 slightly cheaper in New York where I am going the day after tomorrow, but Mathers have always been very good in terms of after-sales service, so I am paying a bit more for peace of mind.

Originally I was getting the K5 with the 18-135, but since reading reviews (and considering the price) I have decided to keep my two WR kit lenses instead. My wife is in the UK for most of January, so she will be handling the sale of my K7. It is in good condition, boxed (minus the cashback voucher cut out of the side}. It has been well looked after, is in very good condition save one minor scratch about two centimetres long on the rear LCD panel, which can't be seen when the panel is on. Shutter count is 5713. It comes with body cap, strap, charger and two batteries (one non-proprietary).

I thought I would put it on here before going to the UK, when it will go on ebay if no-one here is interested. I am unlikely to sell it here in Doha, and ebay is not an option while here due to logistical reasons (the post is unreliable and DHL etc are very expensive).

If anyone is interested, or wants to see pics of the camera (though I will probably have to take them with my mobile phone, as Jackie is in England with her camera), please PM me.

Nice shots, I especially like the last two.

I think you are right about the midtones in the version I posted. Bit of a difficult shot to get much out of due to the light I think.Your second version is an improvement but the whole scen still seems to lack contrast.

I prefer the first two in colour and the last in mono. The first one I like Flossies idea of destaurating the grass, but maybe leaving a little colour in it. All of them are very nice shots.

I really like the last one, too. Great shot. I also like the windows.

Hope you don't mind, I had a go at it, not sure if it is any improvement. I tried mono first, but it didn't seem to work, so I applied a graduated filter to the top left, burned the midtones on the mountain in the top left a bit, cropped it, then used Topaz Adjust to bring out some more colour. Lastly, I desaturated the waterfall and some of the foam using the sponge tool as it had a strong yellowish tinge.





It might work better on the original file, the link you posted seemed to be the same size as the one on the forum.

Rgds,

Great capture, maybe you should let us in on your lens training routine?

Nice image. Looks a bit apocalyptic, like something from Mad Max.

Lovely! One of my all-time favourite aircraft, the Grumman Ag-Cat was the first aircraft designed purely for agricultural work. The sound the Pratt and Whitney radial engine makes is gorgeous! Makes me miss my early career in Africa!

Does anyone know the serial number after which the problem is sorted yet? I am planning on getting a K5, but would rather wait until I can get a sorted one.
