Just checked, all present and correct so if you pm me your address I'll get it sent

I've got a Danish krone that's slightly bigger than a 5p, so easier to grip and if my a level physics is up to scratch, more torque too!

Assuming I've got it you're welcome to it gratis

Will check tonight

Meant to say I've got an mx for parts, so if you need anything just let me know

Think I've got a complete base plate and battery cover

Emphasis on think.

Will check when I've got a second

Best off just buying a spotmatic for parts than just the battery cover. Will probably cost about the same. Keep the rest of it for parts or just list it again for parts....

Get yourself down Merthyr Mawr next

Bound to be some great shots there for you to share with us all (and some more shameless nostalgia for me!)

Yeah the k30 failure issue was in my mind a touch

If the k5 compares well then the upgrade cost is less than the cost of repair I imagine

Re the comment k5 is more of a pro body, lcd display aside what does that get you?

Seen the k5 for sale on the classifieds section..

I've got a K30 that I get on well with. Does the k5 have anything to offer or any neat tricks to make it worthwhile 'upgrading' (if indeed it is an upgrade)

I'd be getting a marginally better burst rate, iso range and a few other minor inconsequentials spec wise.

Doubt the images are going to change much (if at all)

Anybody used both with any feel for the little things you can't find out by reading reviews or comparing specs?

You wouldn't believe the amount of reading I did and the number of shop visits I did back in early 2014

And yet I still bought a K30 with no idea this was even a thing!

I won't write 'touch wood everything ok so far' otherwise you know what will happen....

Keep in mind prices on ebay are always far lower than in the shops

You'll get a better price if you get somebody like SRS or ffordes or a local camera shop to flog it for you. Yes they'll take a commission but you'll still do better than if you had sold on ebay (and ebay and PayPal take a chunk in fees anyway of course)

Good luck with whatever you decide to do
