I believe you need to go into the camera menu and select :allow use of the aperture ring"

I sent the guy a message asking why he is selling all this gear and if it has any valid warranty, I also asked for the serial number of the camera body, after 12hrs still no reply.

I was contemplating bidding on this sellers Tripod, Monopod kit and as he is a new seller with no feedback I had a look at what other items he may have been selling. He is off loading a lot of high end gear, all "brand new never been used" It made me somewhat suspicious, what do you think.??

Seller has sold a few items but no feedback left as yet.

Ditto to all of the above the K7 feels small with out it on,the only problem I have is removing the grip to charge the battery.
You don't have to remove the grip, I have 3 batteries for the K20 and have it setup to use the grip battery first, when that battery runs down it switches over to the body battery, I then remove and replace the grip battery with the spare and it will default back to the grip when turned back on. Ditto to all of the above the K7 feels small with out it on,the only problem I have is removing the grip to charge the battery.
I hope I explained that clearly.

I use one on my K20 but not on my K7, I mostly use the K7 with my limiteds and it not only looks goofy with a grip it just adds unnecessary weight.

After some of your past purchases it must have been a good price for you to comment on how cheap it was wow thats an amazing price, I wonder how many of them they actually sold
I can't believe they actually followed through with the transactions, surely they didn't get them for pennies and just wanted to off load them quickly. Maybe they fell off the back of a lorry, you did say the boxes were battered, maybe that explains it

K-7, kit lens and macro arrived .. looks unused (boxes look like they have been shipped from Afghanistan though)
Now on charge ... bet it doesn't work when battery full (gloomy bit).
Not bad for £345 .. thanks for the heads up gregmoll (and sorry you couldn't get one).

The one I bought was from the US, its a very good lens but not in the $800/$1000 price bracket. They don't come up too often, but if I see one I will let you know.

Don't know how relevant this is, but last night I watched a Pentax A 100 f2.8 macro on ebay go for $460AUD, (they normally sell for around $800-$1000AUD). I didn't bid as I haven't got the available funds for one at the moment, but I think I'll have to go to the doctor and get my jaw fixed, after it fell onto the keyboard.
Anyway, nice pics here. Is that the f4 version?

I also watched that Pentax A 100 f2.8 macro on Ebay, just out of curiosity, IMO I reckon it was a little expensive at $460, I bought one last year and paid $400 for it, with case, resold it for the same amount. I have never seen one sell for anywhere near $800/$1000, where did you see that price??Don't know how relevant this is, but last night I watched a Pentax A 100 f2.8 macro on ebay go for $460AUD, (they normally sell for around $800-$1000AUD).

Nice macros Jon, I really like the first one.

I think you are mistaken Stefan, we are on the right side and you are on the wrong side
