While i'm in the process of joining and uploading to photobucket, if you'd like an e-mail with attached images of the items i'm selling, please let me know.

ps: Wouldn't a personal album be so much easier?

...and yes, i'm still trying to find the 'add image' or 'upload image' instructions/ button. Any tips, as my LX picture ended up in the gallery?

I have finally decided to sell my LX and my Pentax lenses.

Pentax LX body: (Serial No. 5297450). Excellent and genuine condition. Minor brassing on the self timer/mirror lock up button and leather is very slightly lifting in the same corner too but apart from that, it's in mint condition. It still has the original protective plastic on the bottom and it has lived in it's LX case for many years. The only thing that I can't find is the little black plastic contacts cover but it comes with its finder, a genuine red and black Pentax LX(?) strap and a genuine Pentax LX case! £250.

50mm K f1:1.2 (Serial No. 1446846). It weighs around half a kilo, it's snappy, crisp and can practically see in the dark. A very lovely lens to have in any collection. Aside from a very minor/ superficial 'graze' to the finish which you'd really have to look for (on the outside of the filter ring at 9 O'Clock), it's mint in every way. My father was the former owner and the 20+ year old ding was his fault. No it's not an f1:2. £250

Pentax 28mm f2.8: £40
Pentax 135mm f3.5: £30 including original leather case
Pentax Macro 40-80mm: £35
Pentax FE-1: £70
Takumar 2x Teleconverter £20
Extension tubes: £15
Pentax bellows unit K: £40

There are a plethora of other related items which I will consider including if i'm offered a very sensible amount for the lot. They're the kind of things you'd expect to find in any good camera bag and i'll send them in the bag too.

So if you'd like to make me an offer or ask questions, please do.

Hi, thanks for the info. From memory, that's not far short of what I originally paid for it so i'd expect a similar amount in return.


regards,

Darryl

Here are some photos of the LX and FE-1. (and my 50mm f1.2, LX case and strap). I'll add some more photos of my other gear when time allows.

Regards,

Darryl

Many thanks terje-l. I thought there would be a section on it somewhere. I'm juggling doing this with, replying to PM's and my work and work is winning at the mo.

All the best,

Darryl

Thank you very much for your effort and advice hefty1. I'm still figuring out how to upload photos of what i'm now selling. I think what i'll eventually do, is once i've got a better idea of how much I want for each item, i'll create a separate post for each as that will make it easier for potential buyers to find.

regards,

Darryl

The bellows: http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/misc/macro/bellows_III.jpg

Yeah well you try and define your gear while playing BTO's 'You ain't seen nothin' yet' on a Ukelele, in the style of Elvis Presley, while wearing a grass skirt and one of those hats with two cans of beer on... the... sides.....

I'm going outside and i'll come back in again momentarily?

It's this one and it most certainly does weigh 385g!

ps: thanks fella

Many thanks for moving my posting John. Photos to follow.

In the meantime, just to reiterate that the 50mm lens is the fast f1.2 SMC Serial No.1446846
(not the f1:2 or f2 or A -Series).

Hi Johnriley. Many thanks for your considered, constructive and helpful response.

I was initially only asking for assistance with how and where to get a value on my gear before selling it and was not presuming to sell it on this thread of this forum - though now perhaps i'll accept your kind offer of moving this to the Classified's, while also gratefully recognizing that you are kindly offering to do this for me.

I will adjust the listing to reinforce that the lens is in fact a SMC 50mm f1.2 (M) (not an f1:2 or 'A' series lens). I will also take some photos to put up. Will I have to do the 'photobucket' thing or is there a simpler way to publish shots of my gear here such as linking to shots and stats on review sites?

Many thanks John.

Kind regards,

Darryl

ps: So as to appease davex's wishes, while thus copying his lead and because he apparently has earned three identical devil-heads with which to gain the "presence" of PM, I am now wearing a fake-grass hula skirt and one of those hats which can hold two cans of beer, while playing BTO's 'You ain't seen nothin' yet' on a Ukelele, in the style of Elvis Presley - or is that not what he means by "to build up a "presence""? Couldn't find an emoticon to fit my new 'presence' so this one will have to do for now :
