Sorry for the delay's in replying... I was asked to work a show in Sheffield last minute on Friday so have not been round much over the weekend and am at work in the gallery now...

Pictures will be taken and uploaded this evening I promise.

Diana's birthday on the 15th... Might get me in trouble...

(have placed identical advert elsewhere will respond to any PM's this evening)


Load of 35mm Pentax camera and 'M' lenses for sale... I've put a lot of time and cash into these making some really nice kits - 'wrap' denotes the leather colour - the first 2 make awesome street cameras (or just look cool on the shelf)v

Barring the 'MG' they would all be suitable for a 35mm photography course...
Prices are based on recent ebay sales of the specific lenses (all fast and/or rare) and cameras and the work done on them whilst in my care... v

MZ-7 (AF 35mm SLR) with F35-70 zoom-lens

Also for sale is my Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 zoom - Bought from new, boxed with all paperwork - Great lens but I simply don't use it...
£200



Pictures availible on request (but some you'll find on my flickr) - UK buyers only - Items sent well packed via 48hour parcelforce or hand delivered if ye be 'local'

That's good to know...

I've advertised on gumtree and a couple of local networks

Gonna try sell as cam & lens kits rather than splits...

Will try the forum classifieds now...

Not always days like that I assure you!

And my hours over the summer (and until end of Sept) are sporadic at best...
In fact both my current jobs are part-time with random gaps where there simply isn't any work...

I have 2 days next week where I'll be phoning up 140 old ladies who have all had their hair cut in a salon that has just closed down after 50 years... They're all invited to see a series of portraits of themselves taken in the Salon over the last 2 years... Random!!

The only time I've used zooms recently has been when I've wanted the reach offered by the DA50-200... I haven't used the Tamron17-50 since obtaining my FA35... To keep it seems a waste...

When it rains anything more than a little bit my camera goes away... I get no shots...

A WR kit lens would see more use than the Tammy (although hopefully not at much as my primes...) if only out of piece of mind...



Anyway part-ex and selling through my local shop apparently won't raise enough for a new K5 (popped in today) he reckons even sold alone the M40-2.8 will only fetch £40 tops... £25 for an ME he said even clean and with new seals...

You reckon the items I'm considering flogging off will fetch enough brass for a new K5 and WR18-55?

I'll miss looking at them but I so rarely use them I'm hoping the K5 will make up for the loss...
