Sigma 150-500 now sold, pending payment and collection.

scooby222, just sent a PM so you can reply

A gentle bump to check for any more interest.....

Hi,

3 items for sale as I'm downsizing.
I've sold on e-bay for a while, but first time here. I'm happy to share my id and feedback with you if needed.
If you'd like any additional photos please let me know and I will send them (lots of noise in these as I used the GX-20, should have used the K-30!).
I'll try to make sure I respond in the evening for any responses received, during lunchtime may be possible but not guaranteed.

Sigma 150-500 OS HSM

Excellent condition (near mint in fact, only the usual slight marking on the mount gives away the fact it has been fitted to a camera). Boxed with caps, case and straps.
Bought in March 2011, still has one year of Sigma UK warranty left (I'll provide the confirmation e-mail from them upon purchase).
Only reason to sell is that I just don't use it enough. It has been great when purposely going out for bird shots, but otherwise I tend to leave it at home.

£450 + £25 Special Delivery postage (UK only). Due to the value I'd prefer this to be collected.
Payment by bank transfer, or cash on collection.













Tamron 70-300 Di Macro

Excellent condition. No box, with both caps.
Bought in 2007 for use on the K100D.
This is being retired for the Pentax 55-300, Quickshift being one of the key factors.

£55 + £8 Special Delivery postage, UK only.
Payment by bank transfer, or cash on collection.











Benbo Trekker tripod and ball head

Excellent condition. Includes bag.
Had this for quite a few years and just never really used it. It is extremely versatile as you will probably know, going from effectively ground level up to a maximum of around 160cm (higher if you want to be a bit more risky with the leg angles!). Collapsed length is about 75cm.

£60. Pick up only at this point, I'll look into postage if interest demands it.

Thanks for finding out

Definitely thinking about it, just need to work out the Mother's Day clash problem!

Do you know how far ahead the advance ticketing ends? I may need to wait until the week before to confirm for additional reasons anyway.

Strange, you can see clearly on the linked pdf the date is in a different font. Why this would have been changed just on the Amazon document site after Pentax released it is something Pentax should look into.

Certainly sounds like you should be able to get the cashback to me. Lesson I suppose (for us all) is always to go the manufacturers own website for details.

Thanks for the welcome, Stuey

Just noticed your screen name Woz, I assume you are in Coventry? Me too.

I've been lurking on various Pentax sites over the years but never felt compelled to get involved, however the initial impression I have here is of a genuinely useful and relevant resource (and so far I haven't seen any flame wars, trolls or otherwise that plague more well known sites!).

Started with Pentax as my first DSLR (K100D), moved onto Samsing GX-20 when the price was right (and 14Mpix was impossible to resist!), just recently got a K-30 when the price and cashback made the decision for me (but justified by 6fps, great high iso and the blue colour).

Generally family and nature pics are what take up my time, I'll try to post some as I get more involved.

Looking forward to getting involved.
