Ebay have got it stitched up really. I look for the 'sell for £1' promotions and my sales have always been fine. However, there is ample evidence that their system always favours the buyer in disputes. I sold a fabulous * 300mm in pristine condition last week. The buyer clearly had no understanding of the settings required to use the lens and claimed it was faulty which it certainly is not. Although I had clearly stated that I did not accept returns, the reality is that if the seller says it's faulty then you will have to take it back with all of the inconvenience involved. It came back this morning and, as I knew it would, works entirely as it should.

Last year, I purchased some Zeiss binos for around £500. The seller had cloned a previous sale and sent an empty envelope by RM Signed For to a similar postal address in a neighbouring street. The owners of the house were away and the postie signed for it and posted the envelope through the door. Fortunately, it was resolved by Ebay quickly but it was a stressful experience. Beware of sellers with fabricated feedback histories!

I've just purchased one of these from a forum member. They can be difficult to find brand new.

There are 6 'dividers' ; 4 soft and two that are firmer presumably for the ends. They all have velcro points on them. Originally there was a mark 1 case with a red logo which took 3 limited lenses. The mark 2 should take 5 (15/21/35/40/70). They are excellent for storage which was my reason for getting one, but I think in the field there would be a risk of one or another falling out.

The Limited case arrived this morning in lovely condition. Many thanks to Lenny Bloke.

I'll post this, edited, in the lenses section too.

Anybody got a Pentax Limited Lens Case 2 they no longer need and are willing to sell?

I bought one a few years back when Microglobe had them for a bargain price before selling it on. Microglobe have none left now.

Yes the issue was specifically addressed in an early firmware update

I bought the K20 E book years ago and it certainly helped me find my way around the camera. I have the KP one too which I decided to have printed professionally from the Pdf. Both very well written.
