As the title says, a Slingshot 100AW is for sale as unfortunately the K5 with the DA 55-300 won't fit.

The bag is in excellent condition, no marks, tears etc.
All zips work flawlessly.

In the main camera compartment I could fit the Kx with any of my lenses attached, plus space to carry two additional ones.

The camera compartment was a bit bulkier when the Kx was mounted with the DA 55-300, however the door fastened without any problem and was never under any heavy strain.

I can't testify as to how effective the AW cover is, as I've never used it.

I can add pictures, but I'm sure you all know what it looks like, see

Asking for £20 +£5 postage.

Regards
Adrian

Keep looking in the classifieds here, as I sold my Tamron 18-250 fairly recently here. Also another was sold here within the last week or so.

As much as I like my Slingshot 100AW, unfortunately K5 & DA55-300 won't fit. As such I'm looking for a bigger bag, if any forum members have any gathering dust I'd be interested.

Of interest would be the Slingshot 200/202AW, Fastpack 200 and Tamrac Aero 75, or any similar bag.

Thanks
Adrian

Love #2 and #5

Would like to see bigger versions though

Thanks Smeggypants, here's a bigger #5

You've controlled the light very well in the York Minster interior shots, particularly in #2 where you've not blown the window highlights yet managed to keep fine detail in the ceiling.

Thanks David.

Same as Smeggy for me #2 & #5 (though is the WB off or is that your PP) ?

I think #1 would have worked better in landscape and I like the last two as well but think you need to bring out the shadows a little more.

All the Abbey images have been developed using the various presets in Lightroom (with the exception of #6).

Good point with the shadows, something that I need to learn

5 definitely has something special going for it.

Thanks Tim.

Agreed about # 5 - it is special

techno-terminator, thanks.

You've done a lot better at Whitby than I managed, ( though, in my defense I was trying to keep the camera dry! ).

I love number 5, it is special!

Father Ted, there were a few people around and also a few spots of rain (which I kept wiping off the GND filter).
The sun came out as we were leaving

Would also go for #2 & #5

Was up there 2 years ago in November and it was closed, best I managed was to hold up my K10D on a monopod over the wall on a 2 sec timer. Very hit and mainly miss and every one disappointing

Thanks Bernard, we were fairly lucky in that not that many were about on a Tuesday in early May. I can imagine the place being full of tourists

Overall like the set. However I must be missing something. For me the first arch in #5 should either all be in, or appear to be purposely cropped. At the moment, with just a small amount at the top out of frame it looks accidental and detracts from the image.

Valid point Alan, although I cannot recall why it was composed as such.

There was also a fellow Pentaxian on site at this time, although I never got the opportunity to say hello.

whats the image quality like with this camera?

Roy
I personally find the IQ of the Kx to be excellent, and I haven't had any complaints in this department.

I cannot comment on the supplied kit lens, having never used it.

My last posted set with the Kx can be found on the forum here link

Also all images posted by me from January 2010 will have been taken with the Kx.

Hopes this helps.

Adrian

Had a short break in Yorkshire last week, and visited York and Whitby.
First four from York Minster, last four Whitby Abbey.

1

I'm sure that both venues have been shot to boredom, so I've tried a few experiments with the Abbey pictures.

All with the Sigma 10-20, with the exception of 4 (Sigma 18-50).

Adrian

Price drop - now £265.

Comment by bychan posted on FS: Kx kit at 18/05/2011 - 21:44

Interest anybody?

It still hasn't sunk in that I've just ordered a K5, therefore my Kx is now up for sale.

It comes complete with the kit lens (never used).
It was bought new by me in December 2009 from Pixmania, and carried a 2 year warranty.

The supplied manual is in French, but I purchased a printed copy in English. Everything that comes bundled in the box is also included.

Included is a 4Gb SD card, 8 Sanyo Eneloop batteries plus a Sanyo battery charger (this requires an adaptor to work in the UK, as used for an electric shaver, this isn't supplied).

According to PhotoMe the shutter count is 5738.

The camera is in excellent condition, I cannot find any marks or scratches on it. When not in use it's always been kept in a camera bag.

There are two tiny spots of dust visible in the viewfinder, one of which is only visible under certain conditions (bright sunny conditions for example). Of course these have no impact on the images taken.

Here are some pictures
