Morning Benz3ne

Thanks for your comment, I'd previously used the little Manfrotto mini tripod, which wasn't man enough for the Z so by recommendation on another forum, I purchased one of these

Very well made, supports the Z plus the 120mm macro plus a ext tube with no problem, the link is just to the legs, they do a kit with a decent ball head which is what I went for.
That's great, thanks for this Chris! Just need to grab myself a cheap, little light now and I'm away to go on the macro front!

Bump!
Alternatively, I’m willing to sell the K-70 separately for £380 to include Special Delivery.

#4 is the perfect balance of subject and contrast for me. I think the rest are great too but 4 stands out to me.

All beautiful but the subject of 1 and lighting of 4 work best in my absolutely unprofessional opinion. Interested also in what mini tripod you refer to!

Agree with the above. #1 and #4 are standouts for me, too. Dda iawn!

Time to (attempt to) fund a K-1 in a speedy, timely manner!

Up for sale is my recently purchased K-70 (don't panic, I'll get better pictures) which has perhaps less than a few thousand shutter actuations (I'll find out shortly), having been bought with less than 100 by myself a few months ago. Everything works absolutely as it should, and has been set up to the latest firmware. My preferential settings will be reset so it will be ready for the recipient. It'll also include a USB charger, spare battery (or two, I'll check) along with the OEM battery. The strap and original charger are still wrapped up in the box, complete with instructions, having never been used. The camera will also come with the body cap, and has had a screen protector on from the time I received the item. It is in exceptional condition. I'll include a clean 32Gb Lexar x1000 SD card so you'll just need to turn it on and away you go!

Also included is an 18-135mm WR lens. I purchased second hand earlier this year and it does not come with the lens hood, but I can point people in the right direction where to pick one up for around £30 posted in the UK if required. Hopefully the lot is cost-effective enough to make this an immediate purchase for the end user, though I've not found myself in any situation which the lens couldn't handle without one. Not much, if any, dusts within the lens, and it focuses, extends and retracts smoothly and will come with front and rear caps. I will also get some pictures up later.

Along with this, I'm going to include a Helios 44-2 58mm f/2 lens (m42 fit) along with an adapter which I believe to be genuine. The lens assembly is slightly loose within the rest of the housing (a little difficult to describe) but it focuses smoothly and everything works. The glass is in good condition and although there's some oil on the blades, it doesn't affect use (being a preset lens). Again, I'll get photos up of both.

Asking £600 which includes postage via Royal Mail Special Delivery for the entire lot. I may have one more lens to include in the bunch but need to decide on whether to let it go! Payment via PayPal or bank transfer. If purchased today or tomorrow will post tomorrow, otherwise I will not get the opportunity until the weekend. UK only.
