Nikon D800E, great image quality on a tripod, but a brute for a 64yo to carry around.
Would prefer a pop up flash, however shooting mainly landscapes I thought the increased pixel facility would enhance my main interest or is it just a marketing con ?

Can anyone confirm if the K3mk11 justifies the extra cost, I do not anticipate photographing stars so that facility would be an extravagant extra.
I am more interested in image quality

Thank goodness Marat has stopped ranting, the lens was inserted at a very competitive price and as indicated was offered to the membership prior to enhanced price on Ebay. L.B. a long time member indicated his willingness to purchase no haggle 4.05pm, Marat contacted at 4.10 wishing to negotiate, he was advised No negotiation.
L.B. submitted payment immediately Sat which I was not notified from my bank, Marat indicated BT. would be arranged Monday.
LB will return from holiday Friday and i am sure will confirm, Marat was advised of another party interest.
LB will receive a lovely condition lens for his own use not to resell or give as a "Gift"

The purchasing member did not pay extra or even discuss, indeed Marat wanted to negotiate price. Think people should stick to facts

I would possibly blame the member that bought it to be honest as I'm guessing they came back with an offer above the asking price once they knew they had been beaten to what was a very cheap lens (this has happened to me in the past). To be fair it was worth twice (if not more) than what it was originally priced at but that is no excuse imo, the seller should have let you know if this was the case and then you could have upped your offer or declined to get involved in a bidding war.

It was made clear to Marat that another Regular member had indicated his intent and first option Prior to his interest(communication to prove this) bank transfer was completed immediately, Purchasing member will I am sure confirm this when he returns later this week.
