That hand-held shot looks impressive, it does look a fantastic lens. I can't see it ever dropping in value, I'd hang on to it for a while. You could always go on safari to give it a good work-out....

Looking forward to seeing some hand-held shots....

I've just bought one new from SRS, £219 delivered (free delivery for PUF members). I really like it.

That stuff on the K5 body looks like chroma noise. What ISO were you using? If you got rid of it on feathers using the chroma filter than that was probably chroma noise too.

Thanks guys, will go back and have another look and probably buy it. It comes with a warranty so I can always take it back. I have loads of 120 film already so will be able to try it out straight away.

Surely someone can tell me something about this camera?

That's right, if you put the last card you used in your K7 in the K5ii before formatting the card it should carry on numbering the images from there. I worked when I changed from a K7 to a K5.

I've not found a phone app light meter that works well yet, so I bought an old selenium meter which works brilliantly..

It's this model as far as I can tell

I just came across a Pentax 67 with a Super-Takumar 105mm f2.4 lens here in Doha in a camera shop. The prism has a dent in it, and the prism housing seems a bit loose, but the camera seems to work. The lens looks in good condition. It comes with a warranty and the shop wants £170 for it. The battery appears to be completely flat and I couldn't work out how to open the battery compartment or the back of the camera to check the condition of the light seals.

Any advice on whether it's worth buying amd what to check on it would be much appreciated.
