The only person that would be interested in the job lot
would be someone who hasn't got any lenses at all
Well not necessarily - as Junah said - I suspect most people know their market value - you just have to divi them up, take off about 20% for fees etc, see how much profit you can make and decide if it's worth it :

So worth considering if you have extreme conditions or need extra number of shots. Downside cost a fiver but for a once in a lifetime moment......

PS The K30 dealt with being sprayed from a waterfall in a 45 mph at -5C wind with the droplets freezing at times no problem.

How are people finding staring at a screen instead of a viewfinder?
My eyesight is getting a bit long so I never use the LV on the K5. Does this mean I would hate the dedicated Live View on these cameras?
Love the camera hate no viewfinder.

The thing that is such a coincidence is that the Lensbaby aperture discs are a perfect fit into the Roxsen adapter. I do mean perfect.
The combination of the Q with adapter, 70mm f2.8 110 lens and even a SMC Takumar 200mm lens hood is beautifully balanced and SR really did a fine job on the few pictures I took.
Why bother with a Q10 when SRS are selling Q's at such low price
Have you posted the results anywhere Ken?

I had some good results using a Tamron 500mm mirror lens and CIF, on motorsport subjects with the vehicles coming almost directly towards me. Better results than I get with trying to use autofocus in that scenario. Kx, though, not K5.
Me too, same lens where focus is paper thin. Used it for static bird shots and was the only way I could get sharp pics. Beat my eyesight every time. Also as David says, have used for macro.
