The two zoom lenses are described as Excellent condition but could be sold as "mint"

Pentax 14mm F2.8 SMCP-DA ED IF
Mint condition , with original ballistic nylon case, caps, hood, all good £399 + postage

Pentax DA* 16-50mm F2.8 ED AL [IF] SDM
Excellent ++ condition not used much with original ballistic nylon case , caps, hood ( all good) £375 + postage

Pentax DA* 60-250mm f/4 ED [IF] SDM
Excellent ++ condition with original ballistic nylon case , tripod mount, caps, hood ( all good) £575 + postage

Not worried if it doesn't come with all the "other stuff " like a box , aa battery holder etc; as long as the terminal cover is available, the Ll battery holder is present, condition is decent and eveything works ( no third party versions) I'm happy

Sorry to be a pleb but I just recently posted two lenses for sale by following the path ;

Shop >> Classified ads >> lenses

(Pentax 14mm & Pentax DA* 16-50) Should they be posted somewhere else. ?

If so please indicate the path to the appropriate place in the forum

In the past I have simply put items up for sale as a forum post which have been moved on the basis that they should have been posted in " classified"

The Pentax software provides / records all the information frame by frame for review and archiving in a very user friendly way, which is my preferred method.

Combining this with the information mode that can be displayed on playback in the camera itself when in the field, the system provides a very comprehensive data log for reference to work with.

Additionally, if this software is not the chosen photo editing software then, for example photoshop provides the same data records; albeit in "maybe" a slightly less convenient way, but that is my own subjective opinion having become very familiar with the Pentax Utility software

Nice set as always, Nigel: I particularly like No 5'

I've always liked the layout of the K3 but I actually think the LV button will be a little better there than where it is on the K3 as will be the changed position of the playback button.

The seeming absence / removal of the stills / movie "toggle" lever reduces a little clutter around the Green reset button; ergonomically better but does that mean no video / movie mode, as mentined by Jeff above ?

I had the same issue when I was trying to buy the Pentax mount version without success, but "luckily" I stretched myself to the 1.4, 35mm (ART) DG , which is FF compatible (DG) and as all the reviews I read, without exception concluded it is stunning even at 1.4.

So although I spent more than I wanted too the outcome was "lucky" in the sense that it forced me to buy this lens against my better financial judgment (and available budget) and it is without a doubt the sharpest independent lens I have used if not the sharpest standard length prime I have owned.

The problem that followed was I also tried the 1.4 DG 85mm version which is the same right across the aperture range: so now I am broke and happy with both DG primes.

can't write any more accolades on the 18-145 so the - answer is yes buy it

haha!,

Similar story for me, just looking for a "stop gap lens" one day as I was going on an extended business trip to Asia; then along came this little gem and gradually it became attached to me; and the 16-50 & 50-135 DA* zooms, as good as they are, are now little used since the 18-135 quietly shunted them into a dark cupboard, only to be brought out for very particular shooting occasions.

Suddenly my 16-50 and 50-135 felt big, bulky and not so uniquely impressive as regards IQ, the dimunitive DA 18-135 is capable of much more than convenience and "pocketability " as you will discover, and you never have to "wake it up" like is sometimes necessary to with the DA*s either.

Looking at your super portfolio, Cardiff Gareth, I think you mighy fall into the danger of becoming besotted by this now indispensable, little companion; there's more chance of me leaving the house without my shoes than leaving this behind.

I recently bought a SH K3,to permanently attach it to and they are housed in a neoprene stretch case, always at hand.; so good luck with the "stop gap plan".
