A couple of pictures of the lens below including front optic, and of the Jessops filter set, with a couple of examples, some are perspex type filters ala Cokin A and others have a filter mount such as the Spot filter pictured, if anyone would like to know specifics about the filters please PM me.

I have a couple of items for sale as title suggests. First a FA 80-320mm very clean silver body, clean optics, supplied with front and rear caps, looking for £80 to include RMSD in UK, photos to follow.

Also Jessops Filter systems and holders. There is a lot here, the size of the filters is the same as Cokin A, holders and filter rings are different but filters can be used in Cokin A filter holders.
There are 2 holders, one pre-fitted with 58mm holder (to suit 80-320mm), and then in black PVC wallets there is Starter Pack, Black and White Kit, Portrait Kit and Landscape kit, In total there are 21 filters, looking for £35 including recorded delivery.

If anyone is interested in both, I'll combine for £105 inc delivery.

Please forgive me if this is a stupid question or one that has been asked a thousand times before, but I wonder how I may be able to check the EXIF of images posted within the Your Pictures forum, as apposed to the Gallery with the more obvious click here for EXIF. I find myself wondering when I look at others pictures as to what shutter speed has been used, aperture setting, lens/camera used etc.etc, is it possible to obtain this information from these pictures?
Thanks for any help on this.

Followed the advice and got in touch with SRS and I've had the following response:-

Hello,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The issue has previously been rectified on the website, making the 18-135mm effectively £260 with either the K5II or the K5IIs.

The price of the K5IIs + 18-135mm WR is £1029.00

I hope this answers the query

Sorry for the confusion

Pete

SRS Microsystems

In case any one else is looking at picking up this combination, I think this is a much more compelling price.

Tried looking for this without success, it's a difficult one though because if this lens is available in a bundle for as low as £260 new as per my first post it's not really an attractive purchase used at the same price. Happy to see a link to it if you could?

They had a bank holiday weekend special body only £725 I think, it is still available through eBay at £749 free delivery or it was up until an hour or so ago.

This post will probably get lost in the mountain of spam, but I'm in the market for a K-5iis and a walk around lens such as the 18-135WR, on checking our favourite Pentax Pro dealer there seems to be quite a discrepancy in pricing.
To illustrate:-
K-5ii body £649, with 18-135mm £909, additional £260 for lens
K-5iis body £769, with 18-135mm £1199, additional £430 for lens
Now admittedly the K-5iis comes with free battery and case, but £170 for a free battery and case seems a bit steep.

Another case of back to the drawing board for me, particularly with uncertainty as what is around the corner with potential announcements of K-5 replacements, yes I could buy body only and the lens separately unboxed split from kit for £329, but when you buy together you'd expect to make a saving wouldn't you?
