Hello,

I'm moving to a Fuji system, so I'm getting rid of all my Pentax gear (you'll be missed, truly). On the other post you'll find a DA* 50-135mm in mint condition.

First, the gallery - below you will find the photos of each item included and some photos taken by me with this camera:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18eJHNMh_01EUJNVTFVHmVqTCOCRESK8v?usp=sha...

The body and the lens are in a very good, like 9,5/10 condition, I can't really find any substantial signs of use, both LCDs have a protective foil applied. The grip on the other hand (which I bought second-hand) has some indentations on the corner and a scratch, but works flawlessly. I have had this K-3 for at least 5-6 years, bought it used with something like 10-12k shutter actuations, and now over the years it reached 21k.

I haven't had any major problems with it, always performed as it should, but it has a strange issue - I think it happend to me less that 10 times during that whole 5 year period - sometimes after pressing shutter release button the camera takes 3 blank black photos in quick series. I have no idea what really caused it, the conditions it happened at were different every time, maybe the battery, which is really old? Can't know for sure.

I have the original box with documents and the strap, but it wasn't on me, when I took the photos, so that's why you won't find it in the gallery.

Price and delivery:

510 Euro
It will be shipped from Poland, and I'm leaving shipping costs coverage on the buyer after an arrangement.

What is included in this offer:

1. Pentax K-3 body with set of two caps (original and screwed-on).
2. Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL WR with both caps and lens hood.
3. Pentax D-BG5 grip with both trays.
4. Original Pentax battery with a charger.
5. An USB 3m cable.
6. Original Pentax strap.
7. Original box with documents and DVD.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or through PM.

Hello!

I'm moving to a Fuji system, so I'm getting rid of all my Pentax gear (you'll be missed, truly). On the other post you'll find a K-3 with a DA 18-55 AL WR and an original Pentax grip in also mint condition.

First of all, here's the gallery with photos of the lens and a few photos I taken with it:

Okay, about the "star" of this topic... I bought it like 4 years ago from eBay and it had a flaw - the focus plane was way off (one half was sharp, and the other was very blurry). I send it immediately to France for service, payed a fortune for changing a lens with attached gliders and a conservation and now it seems to work fine.

The condition I would rate as 9,5/10, mechanically it works flawlessly, the rings have no play and turn with even resistance and fluidity (maybe except the focusing ring, which feels like there was sand underneath it, but I heard that it's normal). On the visual side I can't really find any marks of use on the lenses or the housing.

About the SDM...

It works, but needs a "wakey, wakey...". I used it very rarely (I don't how why I kept it for so long), but I remember, when I used it throughout the day, it needed waking only once and then it was ready to go even after several minutes of being put away. I haven't tried converting to screwdrive, because there was no need. I read somewhere on Pentax Forums, that the Ricoh branded 50-135's had a silent revision of the SDM, and it should be more durable. Don't know if it's true, but after that 4 years of very rare use it still works.

Price and delivery:

480 Euro
It will be shipped from Poland, and I'm leaving shipping costs coverage on the buyer after an arrangement.

@smc
Take it. I will get it next time.

I would definately buy it, but I can't tell if I will have the money soon enough.

Thanks anyway for possibility.

Hey,

I have the Revolut and PayPal, so the exchange rates for me are really good - I could transfer you cash in GBP directly, to bypass PayPal's unfavorable exchange rate. I foud the RMC75 just before you answered and yes - due to him being in EU I won't get extra taxes included in the final cost.
I have to sell some things to fund this grip, and I think it can take a two weeks, so... If you still will have the grip by then, and RMC72 won't accept the deal / sell to someone else, I would be interested in your offer.

Hello,

Would you accept 75 Euro for Grip, shipped to Poland? Sorry, but I cannot PM you yet (haven't been a user for 30 days since registration).

Yes I know. If you could find out what the delivery cost will be I would be grateful. I don't mind long travel time, so I would prefer the cheapest and safe option posiible. If you could provide a few options that would also be appreciated.

Hello,

I would be interested in taking the grip. Unfortunately I cannot send you a PM yet (haven't been here longer than required 30 days after registration). Would you ship it internationaly (to Poland)?

Thank you in advance for answear.
