Thanks for clarifying that, I paid £1800 to Ffordes about 21 months ago for all the kit sold now.
Trade / part ex value was £600.

Thanks all.. Sold to Steve Coe, who was happy to meet and inspect, and pay cash.

I got my asking price, which was more than 50% what I paid, and a third more than I was offered in part ex at a couple of dealers. I suppose I could have asked for offers, and had a semi auction, but I like a simple life. It was priced to sell.

I would not entertain paypal with a long bargepole, which seemed strange to some, but I know of too many bad experiences. No disrespect to any on this forum
which is a generally positive place. Best wishes all.

K5 Silver Limited, Mint, c. 1500 actuations, screen protector, all accessories and box together with mint pentax DA 18-135 WR Zoom, with caps, filter, box etc. £500

No. 2 is striking....good take.

Just so pleased with autofocus, and the quality of image from my first real go with new K5 and 21mm LTD. A jpg with no PP, catches the light effortlessly. Brilliant (not the photo...the camera and lens!),
.....and the the window through to Barbara Hepworths studio was none too clean either.

Bill, might I ask a daft question....why would you not still use SR if using a tripod etc? Do you mean actually turn it off?

I'm a brand new Pentax user too, and really pleased how LR3 handles both Pentax files, Raw DNG and Jpegs.
Change your raw output type to DNG, use LR2 to be sure it fit for your purpose, then upgrade to LR3.
Some people preferred to stick with LR2 because it has a better slideshow module than LR3 (easier to play music with the show), others me included upgraded to LR3 because of the improved noise reduction.

My first real outing with my K5 today, and so also my first real experience of auto focus (21mm f3.2); I've increasingly missed focus with a mf rangefinder, whether through age or increased wine consumption. So what a pleasure to concentrate on the scene whilst knowing focus is on the button! And so many settings to play with!

Thank you for your long distance welcome, much appreciated. I think I sorted the link thing out, thanks.
G'day to you sir.

Hello all. Started with Praktica in the 1970's....progressed via Canon to Leica.....decided to get a K5 so I can rediscover having fun whilst trying to make good photographs.....btw how do I post a meaningful description to a linked site in my profile? Thanks!
