Seen here modeling for the 55-300mm test shot this week (large file).
Shot of K-x on the wall
Shots taken last week with the K-x
Just bought John's K5, so the K-x is finally superfluous
Fabulous and trusty little camera (sniff).

Image 5 (focused on the end thumb ridges) really shows the superb performance and buttery bokeh. View it at full resolution (your browser will probably resize it), you can see the grain on that Sigma from 3 metres away.

55 - 300 is virtually unmarked, almost like new.
It has tiny flecks of dust inside like any used zoom. They have no effect on the performance.
I have uploaded some (full resolution) shots of the lens and box.
And some shots taken with the lens this morning, mostly wide open.
It has beautiful bokeh even at F8, much better than my Sigma 85 1.4 portrait lens at any aperture! (Sigma used for the first shot)

Actually, I've just had a thought. I'm loving manual focus on the K-01 (with the oultining thingie), so my old manual lenses might have a new lease of life. hmmm... must go an have a play...

It's boxed with strap, no batteries or card.
There are no scratches, just a few marks underneath from the tripod or putting it on the desk.
Not sure what the shutter count is, but the images in the link above should have EXIF info intact.
