Great pickup, I recently sold a K version of the 28mm f2 to a fellow in Spain for 450quid. Not sure if the M version will go for a comparable price.

In excellent condition, with 8 months of warranty still to go. Includes original front and rear caps, pouch and box. I'll even add a 49mm pinch cap (3rd-party) if you'd prefer that to the usual lens cap.

I bought this in October 2010 from SRS Microsystems, and have used it carefully ever since. The lens itself is in mint condition, the optics perfect, without haze or fungus. The lens cap fell off once, and sustained two tiny dings (just about visible in the photos that follow). I will include a copy of the receipt so that any buyer can make use of the warranty. (There are still 8 months of warranty to go.)
I'm sure any buyer would know this, but this received rave reviews:

This currently sells new for £375 from SRS microsystems. I'm willing to part with mine for £275 plus £5 for postage via Royal Mail Special Delivery. (Will accept payment by paypal or bank transfer.)

He was probably evacuated to one of the evac centres, power was cut off to the city last night before the storm hit and I would doubt it has been switched back on as yet. The storm is still going at the moment but has been downgraded to a cat.3 A close friend of mine that used to be my neighbour before to oz now lives in Cairns.

From what I am hearing Cairns got off relatively lightly.

Only the ist*D and the DS were compatible with TTL, The L was not and I don't think the DS2 was compatible either.

Well it looks like it wasn't as bad as predicted, The cyclone came ashore just sth of Cairns, Mission bay and Tully took the brunt of it, These are small towns and most of the houses there have been badly damaged, No reports of deaths or injuries,
95% of the aussie banana crop is gone so we can expect to be paying triple the cost for them, But if that is as bad as we can expect then we can count ourselves lucky.
We had storm surge in Townsville and wave heights were measured at 18mtrs high, you could hear all the surfies up and down the coast with thier catch cry "surfs up"

Ahhh that might explain it, I use bank deposit on nearly all my domestic transactions and Paypal on the international ones.
So Mike what is your interpretation on what Cabstar and Greynold's are saying. :

When I sold my Pentax gear I asked everyone to pay by Gift.
After about four transactions I received an email from PayPal warning me that if I did this again (within the next two years, I think it was) that my account would be suspended.
PayPal is a commercial organisation so they are within their rights. I normally ask for a direct bank transfer. It's free and far more secure in most ways.

I wonder if it's different for you guys over there as opposed to us in Aust?? But I doubt it. I will have to do a bit more digging on this one.
Cheers.

It's not true what you are saying, I have a positive balance paypal account and I have used the "gift" option on over 200 transactions for goods purchased and I always pay the fee, granted it's about 1% but it's still a fee.
Cabstar, I am not sure what happened with your transaction but it wasn't because of the gift option, there must be more too it.

The buyer definately pays the fee for the gift option, just not sure on the other options in there. Without checking I can't tell you offhand, but what I can tell you is that before now I have had the option to pay the fee.

Thanks anyway John, I guess we have gone a little off topic because I still can't understand how your account can be frozen if you use the "Gift" option as Cabstar suggests, I have had a look in the Paypal T&Cs and can not find anything.

It's all a bit academic really, because when you pay someone you can opt to pay the fees.
There's no need to try and dodge the issue, although I suppose it's because there is no fee either side for a personal payment not related to goods.
Really, where is that option? is that the "payment owed" option under the personal tab. Are you saying if you use that option, nobody pays the fee?? I have never used anything other than the gift option and the buyer pays that fee.It's all a bit academic really, because when you pay someone you can opt to pay the fees.
