I bought this on a bit of a whim to be honest & don't really need it, so here it is for sale.

I bought this second hand & the camera is complete with the 18-55mm DAL lens, which is not weather resistant.

The camera was purchased from Bradford Camera Exchange on 30-12-2010 which is a Pentax Pro store so there is 22 months of warranty left.

There is also an extra battery.

The camera is complete with box, manual, cables etc... no scratches or anything bad to note.

Price £400
postage via Special delivery £8.99

payment via bank transfer
Paypal with buyer paying fees, please note I do not accept gift payments
Or good old fashioned cash on collection

I am looking to buy a DA* 16-50mm or a Pentax k-7 so if anyone is after a trade let me know.

Will post some piccies later, but its a Pentax k-r & lens in the box...

if doing best offer you can set a price to auto accept & set another price your not willing to accept, if you put these within a penny of each other then you wont get into any haggling... works for me anyhow!

It's pretty good, guess I got lucky with mine as to focussing issues.

It is not a very well built lens, I have had to retighten the front element on mine numerous times....

Some samples
