This sale on Ebay fell through so available again for £535 delivered

Excellent outcome. The symptoms certainly sounded like the aperture block but it was certainly worth having it checked!!

A very good alternative to the D-BG5 Battery Grip in boxed mint condition. Just purchased with a K3ii from a fellow forum member but I have no need for it.

£29 including delivery

Welcome to the Forum. I lived in Yelverton just north of Plymouth for 11 years. I don't miss the Dartmoor weather but I certainly miss Devon!

Despite my earlier comments, I wouldn't be totally put off Ebay. Most buyers are decent enough (I'm one as well as a seller!) and prices reached are often very good. For example, as we await the 'Knew', K3 prices are very good and sales brisk: typically £360 plus for a K3 and around £400 for a k3ii. I purchased 3 limited lenses on Ebay in the last few weeks. They were all exactly as described and the buying process was effortless. You just have to proceed with care but expect problems on some occasions.

Dealers will not give anywhere near the prices you can achieve on Ebay and many are not interested in Pentax gear unless it's a part-exchange process. SRS are worth calling and MPB now buy Pentax but LCE and Camera Jungle don't.
