- what modifier attachment do they use? Bowens or Elinchrom?
- how much do you intend to spend on additional modifiers?
"soft light" = umbrella close up or big softbox, depending on exactly what you want - but unless you can get it within a metre or so of your subject, with you directly in front of it, it's going to be difficult.
Don't forget your background, too.

New 329, and used ones at 249-269.

21 the better part of £400
40 £300
70 £400
Thing is, though, that "normal" rules don't apply as the lenses are in demand.... yes, 70-80% is a good starting point, but just don't expect it.
Pentaxforums gives a good indication of real life pricing IMO. Ffordes, SRS, mifsuds all have decent second-hand sections and you may be able to find something there, but all these lenses are sought-after and will therefore disappear sharpish.

ABS works really nicely on ice with studs, but less so with contact tyres. Mine gets triggered at the moment probably 2 times per trip, I try to anticipate but it doesn't always work.

So many people saying "I'm looking forward to this!" it's great
My K5 turned up today, along with the 80-400, a 28/3.5 and some other bits, like "tool porn", as my colleague put it - the axminster catalogue
