Selling an O-GPS1, a hot item at the moment, a lot of write ups, not enough dark skies for me to take advantage of the longer shutter times in astrotracer mode unfortunately where I am.
No box, printed instructions, unit is unmarked. £110 in RMSD exc fees.

Selling in mint- condition, complete, unmarked lens barrel, hood and lens cap, I' can't see any internal dust. I think one of the best out there, it has everything from new + 49mm clip on lens cap for when hood and metal pouch fit cap are not required, £400 inc RMSD exc any fees.

Are you using the Pentax q to k adapter for this or an aftermarket?

I was watching a white one sold on a buy now yesterday, boxed with all accessories for £155inc postage.
I didn't buy at that but it was close, I nearly broke.

I'm a massive fan of the Sigma 150-500mm OS, I think it's a bargain on a Pentax mount, but there are times when you'll go out with it and really struggle. I'm yet to put my finger on exactly why, I'm presuming unfavourable lighting conditions. So today in the North East it's dark and damp, not cold or windy so the 150-500mm was left at home and a newly acquired DA* 300mm taken instead. I spent a good bit of time trying to get a good shot of the Water Rail but these are quick and elusive, so I'm a bit dissappointed with the results on that, but I did manage to get some good shots in what turned into bleak conditions, hopefully you'll pick up the rain.
The lens handled really well, some hunting in certain conditions on K5ii but I'm happy with the focus performance overall.

In terms of overall character, I've settled on the 43mm Limited, but the 40mm is also good. It's basically a long standard lens on APS-C, but not too far adrift from the 58mm that was at one time still considered within the standard bracket for film.

The 55mm f/1.4 is the APS-C equivalent for the film 85mm f/1.4 lenses.
x2,
I've had F 50mm f1.7, DA*55mm, DA 40mm Ltd and FA 43mm Ltd and for size, balance, iq, colour rendition, build quality the FA 43mm ticks all my boxes for a standard prime.
