1)Pentax DA* 50-135mm f/2.8 virtually new. never used apart from a few shots for testing. only a little wear on the original box. to be supplied with all accessories. 580GBP including postage within UK(919 GBP at SRS),

How old is your DA*50-135? Did you buy it from SRS? so a perspective buyer would have the warranty transferred?

And may I ask the reason you are selling it?

And is that the picture of the lens? Any chance of seeing it from different angles as well please?

Thanks

Nice photos again Amin, liked the others better to be honest.
The drop is simply less then what you've showed us earlier.
With the wine glass it's the same thing, like the first version better.
I like the reflection in the blue water but not in the other ones and also the rim of the yellow glass is different then the rest, it just throw the balance of for me.

This might help a lot with your wine glass photos to control the highlights better link
Now you've something to tomorrow
You can also buy a complete light tent btw, most of these tents can be closed completely leaving an opening to shoot through so you get no reflections at all then
Thanks Stefan,
I have been looking for one of those tents for a while now but never got my head around it to finally order it. I guess its time I need one
Thanks for your constructive comments Its pretty difficult to control the lighting for these glass shots, but am trying to improve,
thanks again

I prefer the second one but may I add a tiny C&C to it.
I love the different angles but I think that if the middle one was level and the right glass was tilted to the opposite angle so that the outer glasses were angled into each other (does that make sense) then it would frame better.

You have gotten rid of the nasty reflections I see, well done they do look extremely better.

Now this may be my eyes here but all the glasses seem to be tilting to the left slightly...that maybe me though


Excellent work though Amin

Paul
What a great idea Paul
Thank you so much for that brilliant idea, of putting the liquid levels differently.

You might be right about the glasses being tilted , I am still perfecting this so might have missed the levelling properly , but I was quite happy at managing to get them to this stage, from here now I will be able to perfect it and with ideas like the ones you just provided I will be able to come up with different versions

thanks again

A couple of them for a taster, will upload some more tomorrow.

Wine glasses with the odd one out, and water drops.

C&C as usual please will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

If possible could I please be added too. I live in Ashford close to Heathrow and could pick up and pay easily.

Thanks a lot,
/Fred
Fred, I am happy to include you in the list.

Can I also please clarify to the interested ones please that I would really prefer to post them all to you rather than arranging for collection. Fred, I will be meeting my friend where he lives to collect the goods, so its not exactly Heathrow where I will be meeting him. And usually its very difficult for me to give a time to be at home to organise for collection so as I will be posting to most of them I would rather just post all of them instead of picking and leaving behind any for collection as you will appreciate it will mess up with my schedules.
So please let me know if still interested as I am prepared to post rather than having to arrange a meeting for collection.

When I get the lenses in my hands then we can organise payment, bank or paypal will do for me.

Please let me know if this is still ok for the ones in the list please.

Thanks

I will keep updating this list as long as it allows me to do it, then when it locks me off I will start a new comment.
If anyone is missing from the list please let me know.

Anyone else please? I need to call him shortly, I could get a few extra but wouldnt want to get lingered with them anyway, so would prefer to get the right number of lenses, does anyone know if anybody else has expressed interest around here throught the thread please? Would hate one of us wanting it and suddenly got missed out

price is £199.99 he mentioned, and that includes VAT. Not sure if he can get the VAT off it, nto sure what the procedure about claiming it back, but didn't want to pester him a lot as he is at work, he is one of the perfume sales rep in the terminals

I am happy to do it for you guys, from my part I will just charge you the postage expenses, we will just have to factor something for him to keep him happy. Also because he will have to fork out straight from his credit card. I hadnt spoken with him for almost two years and my next call to him is straight to ask for a favour , although he is ok with that, he is cool, but I am the one who feel bad for that so would like to let him feel at least materially compensated for the effort
