Well I brought the kit, and at the starting price, No other bidders which surprised me.

It has been delivered to my daughters house in Queensland and she has assured me everything is in order, it even included 2 Manfrotto tripods and a monopod which wasn't mentioned in the listing. Not sure of the models though.

So without seeing it all personally, I,m very happy with the purchase.

Sorry axl, this pic was taken without the filter attached. I must have deleted the others.

Sorry Kris

Ken, I had heard it was something along those lines, i'll stick to steak and chips thanks.

It was taken on my K7 and as I recall it was a very bright day so I put a 58mm Hoya uv filter on it and it vignetted quite noticeably, I assume thats why they put in the built in filters. You can see the flare in my pic, notice that red reflection at the bottom right. I am not even sure if you can put a hood on it without vignetting??

I got about £400 for mine when I sold it, but it was in mint condition with its original embossed case.

35 here and very hot, but plenty of beer too put that fire out.

Well you know what they say about Melbourne weather, if you don't like it, just wait a few minutes.

What exactly is a Haggis, Jack :

I had one, albeit very briefly, I picked it up along with its big brother the K15f3.5 as part of a job lot, exceptionally well made lens and heavy, it comes with its own built in filters, attaching standard filters causes vignetting but I didn't have a thin pro filter to test on it.

I sold both lenses within a couple of weeks of obtaining them as I already had those focal lengths covered with the Sigma 10-20 and a DA15mm. I didn't think keeping them was worth the inconvienience of the extra weight, No AF, No A setting on the aperture ring, Flares easily. More pain than gain IMO.
What are you planning on using it for :
This is the only shot I could find with it. Hope this helps.

Thanks Gwyn, getting the barbie ready and the beer cold as we speak. Looks like rain though

I won't need a stick, i'll just throw a spare lens or two at them

Anyway I Procrastinated too long and the seller has removed the buy it now option and will let the auction run its course. I will keep an eye on it and see what eventuates.

I also discovered there are 2 Bronica bodies in the sale, An ETRSi and an ETR.

Sorry to hear that Mark, you must be devastated. I hope it all works out for you.
