Excellent condition. I am the 2nd owner, it had barely been used by the first owner and I've not added much mileage onto it.
Original box with all original accessories strap, charger, battery* etc.
(*The exception is the battery is hama branded - will double check that/confirm soon)
The manual has some minor creases/marks on front and back.
Reason for sale: I've got a K-3ii and this K-5iiS is too good to be sat around.

Frimware update on K-3ii was straightforward.
Lens feels/looks smaller than I anticipated. When collapsed and on camera body. Just looking at the numbers you might think, not much of a difference and maybe you'd notice the increased width, but it seems noticably smaller.
Build quality - it feels very good IMO.
Only took one random image wide open at 55mm last night, but looked good.

The FA 43mm is likely to be a good experience on FF though

AF seemed good enough for an airshow... caught jets /helicopters ok at 300mm
though it really struggles when the object is coming straight at you at speed... i think this was noted on the usa forum review
also caught some birds ok on it
the retractability is indeed useful and quick to use when needed
focus ring seems fine in mf, only attempted landscape in mf though
