I think I saw the £802 one you’re on about. Mike-P wrote:

One I just missed out on last week went for £ 802 +PP low shutter count. A £ 1,000 is top end of range via dealersNice looking one just gone on Ebay, few months old with the grip and 5 batteries. £1050 or best offer.
I’ve noticed a few around the £1k mark but was wondering if those on eBay varied much to those offered here.
Thanks as always all!

Out of interest, what sort of prices were these commanding? Might look to purchase one in future.

Sounds like the aperture solenoid failure to me! Plenty of reports about it. it appears it’s something of a lottery as to when it happens!Benz3ne wrote:
Its nothing mechanical, the shutter seems to work ok, but it produced pictures that are almost totally black. I reckon its under exposing by at least 3-4 stops. I tried using the exposure compensation accordingly but the pictures were very poor, something in the sensor department I think. But unlike some PUF members who bought K30s when they were first introduced it never let me down until now.davidtrout wrote:
Today a brand new Pentax K70 arrived to replace my recently defunct blue K30 which has given me some excellent pictures since I bought it in, I think, 2012. Got the K70 from SRS in an astonishing Black Friday deal and tomorrow it will get its first outing.

As a fellow K-70 user I’m looking forward to seeing your snaps! Shame about the K-30, aperture failure perhaps?Today a brand new Pentax K70 arrived to replace my recently defunct blue K30 which has given me some excellent pictures since I bought it in, I think, 2012.

Nice picture. Plenty of detail and colours, ticks all the right boxes!

Love the sunburst in 1 and the embankment in 2. Great shots all round anyway!

The Sigma 24/2.8 is a very nice lens and the flare is decent for artistic use. I started with the MF version which I sold when I got the AF one, but I miss the MF as it was much nicer to use and I think also smaller and lighter. Plus, the AF on this lens makes a right racket. I have the EF-mount version too and it's the same.
My recent acquisitions, though not sure when I last posted here:
:arrow: Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5. I've wanted something wider than my DA 15mm for a while and this came along at under €170 just in time for my birthday. No hood but otherwise in great condition.
Hopefully over christmas I'll have more time.
I'm strongly considering the 10-20mm f/3.5 too. It'd be an interesting lens to use on the numerous beaches on my doorstep... I'm aware of one at a good price but I'm unsure exactly what sort of condition its in, so have asked the seller a couple more questions...The Sigma 24/2.8 is a very nice lens and the flare is decent for artistic use.

My Super-Wide is the manual focus version and it's a solid little bit of kit. Very nice to use and a nicely dampened focus as you mentioned.
Hopefully! Busy time for everyone by the look of it - I need to 'get out more' but the rain is the obvious deterrent!
