Hadn't seen that deal, but had priced according to similar on ebay (last one I followed went for £123 plus postage) so think actually its a pretty reasonable price

I have a Pentax AF360 that I would be willing to sell (I did offer it to another member recently, but wasnt what they were looking for).

It was bought (with my now sold) K10D in Aug 2008. Has seen light use off camera and is in very good nick (would like to replace it with an SB800 or the like for my nikon body). It is unboxed and instructions come on PDF (this was how this was sold as new to me by calumet). There is a piece of velcro on the head which I used to attach bounce cards and gobos.

Battery comparment is of course clean and all works well.


Looking for £120 posted to anywhere in the UK.
Let me know if interested and I can sort some decent photos for you to look at.

I have a AF360gz, which I would consider parting with, would that fit the bill? Have sold all of my pentax gear now, but was hanging on to this as I shoot mainly off camera flash anyway, but tbh this could then be traded towards a new sb900 which would work well with the new body with ttL etc.

Bought august 2008 with the K10D body I recently sold. It is not boxed and the manual is on pdf but the flash is pretty much mint and has had pretty light use (preferring my SB28s and Vivitar 283s). Can provide photos if interested. Probably looking for around £120 posted (special) to UK.
PM me if this fits the bill.

Grip sold. Just leaves the sad, lonely lens...someone give him a new home...he's being bullied by the new Nikon lenses!


Seriously, I have to thank the following for being such splendid people and for super smooth transactions:

ditto petemasty who bought the grip last night

170nys for the sigma 17-70
Peter Bargh for the m42 converter that wasn't, and for being thouroughly nice and understanding re my mistake.
Myles for buying the 135mm lens - hope it works for you on your film camera andthanks for a great transaction.
thoughton for buying the extension tubes
and finally

All the above have been great, easy to deal with and I would happily buy/sell with them again. Cheers!

Sigma 17-70 sold pending payment

Still left:

DBG2 grip (for K10D) + battery £70 posted

Sigma 100-300mm lens - make me a sensible offer - would prefer to sell to a good home cheaply rather than have it languishing (that would make me sad)

John - possibly, depending on your location etc. Postage I think would be a bit more than to the UK, so I would probably say £165 plus postage to your location by a tracked method.

Dust isnt bad at all - just looked at the flickr photos and nothing shows on those (these were SOOC RAW to Tiff and then uploaded to flickr). There are 3 or 4 specks which have got in under the front. They have had no noticeable effect on my images - for example http://www.flickr.com/photos/brookys69/sets/72157623054664967/ was shot with them, as was most of the recent stuff before the K10D set on my flickr stream. My guess is that if you started shooting at very small apetures f16 and smaller then you might begin to see traces of it on the images (but would also be seeing specks of dust on the sensor too). Certainly nothing some cloning in photoshop couldnt easily sort out.

That is my honest opinion - I could try and get some pictures where you could see the dust if you like - let me k now how serious you are regfarding buying. Unfortunately I now dont have a pentax body to test it on regarding my f16 theory.

As a lens I liked it - wasnt the sharpest, but then I used my 50mm or 135mm for that sort of stuff, but as a day to day lens it was great - nice feel to it and good images and a decent amount of pull. Considering its nikon mount cousin as a general walkabout lens for the new body
