That is a doozy, John. Should fly off the shelf, especially at that price.
This does beg the question, however, if you're offloading something as beautiful as this Voigt', and portrait length lenses are over represented, what's left?

Going back to the OP's original question concerning K3s vs K70 vs KP - any views?
I was hoping that K-new would answer my requirements but that seems less and less likely now I've seen the various Pentax produced videos.
It lacks a flippy screen and it's not likely to have improved video.
I have a KS2 and a K5iiS and I was hoping for something like a merger of these two with technical improvements.
Now the obvious suggestion would be the KP but I have tried one and for the first time in 60 years I picked up a Pentax which did not fall into my hands and feel comfortable.
So does the KP become more comfortable with use? Does the K70 offer any real improvement over the KS2?
Should I keep my money until a new consumer level body becomes available
Disclaimer: I'm the type who gets reasonably bored of my equipment reasonably quickly, or I'll dive into an item, find something that I'm not particularly happy with and keep hunting for that 'grail' object. Ergo, I've gone from the K-S2 to K-70 to K-1 and now to a Sony A7iii within around 4 years. From those, and looking back on the photos, they're all more than capable in their own rights, and especially in image quality.

Good luck with the Apache chilli.
But Dorset produces the hottest chillis in the world...

I went to a garden centre a couple of days ago and actually bought some plants !

That said, this Apache Chilli seed has just germinated in my care, so I’m getting too excited about it.

Two lovely vintage lenses there.
On the subject of Pancolar, an 80mm f1.8 version sold on ebay yesterday for the princely sum £420.00 plus postage.
