Yeah yeah and I bet he ate your homework also.

Are you sure you haven't just smudged it. Have you tried cleaning it with a good quality sensor cleaner.

I have given my sensor a nudge with the rocket blower on a couple of occasions and never damaged it. Even if it is damaged it will only be the outer plastic cover of the sensor not the sensor itself.

Clarky I could well be interested but the pound is very weak so I doubt I could give you what it's worth unless the dollar is equally weak. Why would you part with it?

Do you want to PM me a price you'd think is fair? Can't see why it wouldn't ship to the UK OK and at modest cost. Cost me ten quid to send my so a lens in Japan.

I have no problem buying S/H and you're clearly a man who looks after things.

No worries I will work out the postage details also.
I was more worried about the vat and import duty you maybe hit with.

Actually I'm a bit surprised that at 36 you can remember them. I thought they died a death years ago. Can't say the OP really catches my interest - a blasphemy I know . I'm saving for a 21 ltd.

I am thinking of parting with my 21mm Mike, let me know if you are interested and if its a viable option to send it to the UK.

Being broke comes with the territory i'm afraid if you are an avid amatuer photographer But thats what makes the Pentax system so appealing, all those old Takumar primes at very cheap prices.

Get yourself an adapter and some old Taks for the K10 and you will be selling off that Nikon in no time

Some very good shots on your website. Why are you getting rid of your K10 it appears you two get along very well.

Oh and, Welcome to the forum.

I have owned all 3, Tamron 90mm, Sigma 105mm & the Pentax D-FA100mm, all 3 are optically equal but I chose to keep the Pentax, as stated by others for its lighter weight and the quick shift capability. Fantastic lens and one of my favourites.

I didn't find it hunted any more than the other 3 but again using it in manual when doing macro is the way to go.

Wow I wasn't aware they were that big. A shame really when a large chain like that goes under But its a sign of the times I guess.

Do you think they will franchaise the ones that will remain open. I'm sure someone can make a go of it.

I have seen these 28-70 f4 lenses go for around £40 and the MZ5n bodies vary wildly, seen one go for £70 and another for £25 and some silly asking prices of £300.

Personaly I would have left the body and lens together as they make a more desirable combo IMO.

So you got stuck with the final sale fee because of the non paying bidder or have you claimed it back. :

Good luck with it mate.
