I have 49mm Hoya rubber lens hood to go with this item a cracking full frame lens that works well from f1.7 for anyone interested.

Selling my nice SMC Pentax-F 50mm f1.7 lens, very clean optically no visible dust, working great. Comes only with replacement front/rear caps.
Looking for funds for a WG-1 or similar so asking £130 + p&p, seller to pay any fees.

Cameraworld by the looks, must be a typo looking at the prices of the other used equip for sale.

Hello, there's a bit range difference in these two setups, I notice in your first post you're shooting portrait and indoor sports, so I can't really see where the sigma 150-500 has come into the equation, because this lens is not designed for these type of shots, it's huge for a portrait lens and focus/aperture too slow for indoor sports. Have you considered a 70-200 f2.8 for this purpose? There'll be a train of thought perhaps to go for a 17-70, 70-200 2 lens combination with constant f2.8 capability throughout the range and I think this would be better suited to your needs, and you can take your pick with brands.
P.s I'm not anti sigma 150-500 it's my favourite lens.

You're not going to like this but I'm going to suggest a body upgrade to go with one of these lenses. I've got a Sigma 150-500, really nice for the type of shots you're looking to take, it's a big old lump and you'll want some OS and, for me some help with the focusing, especially with the smaller and faster garden birds. It might stretch your budget a tad but I'd seriously consider a K20d and a 150-500, I think you might be able to secure both for around £600 used, maybe a little more, and sell the k100d. Not only will the functionality be better but you'll have room to crop with the increase in resolution on the k20d.
Whichever way you go happy snapping.

This is an absolute bargain, If I didn't have one of these I'd snap your hand off, good luck with the sale John.

Looking at a waterproof camera for summer use(if we get one!) whilst kayaking. There doesn't seem to be many of these around, but thought I'd at least ask the question in case anyone has one of these sitting in a drawer unused and unloved before looking elsewhere.
If anyone can give me any pointers as what to look for/avoid and what to pay it would be appreciated.

With the cost consideration mentioned in the original post, what about the 'stack of primes' lens Pentax SMC A 35-105 f3.5, just a thought, good performance and a flexible performer to boot.

Payment received, thanks Matty

I have a pair of K-5 bodies, I'm looking to upgrade one to K-5II/s, so I'm selling the freshest of the pair I have. Comes boxed, with disks, cables, manual, battery, strap etc.etc. everything from new. Body is fitted with 2 x screen protectors, the expensive american imports. Virtually unmarked condition, clear viewfinder, very well looked after.
Will add a 18-55 AL WR at extra cost if it is something a pottential buyer would like at a price to be agreed.
This body has been secured to my Sigma 150-500mm so K-5 pictures in my portfolio with this camera/lens combination are most certainly with this camera body.
I'm looking for £400 + fees (UK delivery/Paypal if applicable)
