Centon pristine, Tamron a little scuffed but both work flawlessly.
Also in the linked photos below is the Kenko lens2scope. This is a fab little device and teams up pefectly with the mirror lens for incredible magnification. Even better on DA*300 of course
Both lenses come with hoods and the Tamron comes in a special box.
Centon - £45
Tamron - £75 (for quick sale, they go for a lot more)

Lens2scope - as new, I should have original box somewhere - £75 (roughly half price).

645N and 45mm sold (with flash and films)

Here is the web gallery for the 645N and 45mm.
This camera will come with Pentax' dedicated flash- the FA-500 ftz, and 25 rolls of film (out of date, but kept in freezer), so It's a perfect kit to get started.
The function dial has come loose, cosmetic and easily fixed. I leave it on AV all the time anyway.

Two years of glorious detail and amazing dynamic range has got to come to an end
My ex needs to buy a house of her own, so I have to find a deposit on a new place, which means selling everything except my brace of trusty K5IIs's.
Pristine 645z body with low 10,000 shutter count.

The lenses are:-
SMC FA645 150mm f2.8 - Dreamy portraits.
SMC FA645 120mm f4 macro - Exquisitely sharp, just amazing.
SMC DFA 645 55mm f2.8 - my go-to lens for weddings and events.
SMC A 645 35mm f3.5 - wide(ish), very sharp wide open; fab for astro.
SMC FA645 45mm f2.8 - The old kit lens, adequate performance.
Set of auto extention tubes.

645N film body. If you haven't tried one of these you are in for a treat! Auto everything, All the advantages of medium format, but you have to wait for the processing of course. Slap in some Velvia 50 slide film and enjoy exquisite landscapes. An ergonomic gem - you can hang this lovely body on the end of your fingers all day, no problem.

Just testing the water at this point, but expect similar prices to ebay.

Lovely set.
Really like 6 and 10. One of my favourite places
6 has a lovely painterly quality.
Here's the same place in a storm

Great stuff. The first and last look to have the best balance to me.
Watch out for your sky tho', looks like you've been quite bold with the 'whites' slider in post; pulling the highlights down, but it looks unatural. The sky would (and should) be burnt out in this situation I think.
This greyness has affected the highlights on the background leaves too.

Why would the K5ii not be able to do this? The pixel pitch is the same, so ultimately, the number of pixels covered by the squirrel will be the same for a given lens.
By all accounts the K1 focusing is a couple of leagues better and the shake resistance and high ISO ability, so I guess it's certainly easier with the K1.

He he.
Sorry, I should have started with, 'it was a good angle..'
Love these little creatures. It's always a challenge getting those tiny, almost invisible eyes looking gorgeous.
When you see a microscopic reflection of yourself in there, it's a real buzz! (I'm such a poser).
Anyway, I look forward to seeing some more
