Boxed, I have never bothered with the lens hood, occasional flare I have dealt with by shading using my hand. The only annoying thing is I can't remember where it went.

Pentax DA 16-45mm

Front and rear caps, lens hood has gone AWOL.

Good condition, but there are signs of use.

Lens looks clear with no significant dust that I can see.

Very little use and not used for some while so I am thinking of replacing it with the 18-135, so in very good condition with no marks on glass or dust.

Out of warranty, but it has not had any problems.

Boxed, with both caps and pouch. Lens cap has some marks on.

Well I guess most pentax users know what this is, I have never used it as I bought it just when I stopped using film. It is in really nice condition, a little loss of paint on the aperture ring is all I can see. Optics are clear and as far as I can tell pretty dust free.

Asking £100 + £5 delivery

When we are away most of the time I usually end up taking my Panasonic FZ20 or the K10D with the DA 16-45mm and leaving the rest of the kit behind. A DSLR with a single lens is all I want to carry round in my Hadley bag. I could fit more in, but after a day out I am aching from carrying it around so don't add the heavy DA* 50-135 and make things worse. When going out all day I don’t like leaving the 50-135 in holiday accommodation and it is also a bit of a handful to swap this lens while walking around.

The FZ20 is 36-432mm equivalent, so loses a lot at the wide end. The G6 is 35-140mm so again is a bit deficient at the wide. The G6 can be fitted with wide angle convertor lens to improve the wide end.

I was going to sell the FZ20 as I bought a G6 recently to replace it, but I could sell both and replace them with something like the Pentax X90 which improves the wide angle and would add a macro capability. The long end is much more than I require so anything up to 150mm equivalent would probably do.

The K10D with the 16-45 has the wide end, but could do with a bit more reach. The 17-70 or 18-135 would lose a bit at the wide end to the 16-45, but would be better as an all round lens. I could sell the DA* 50-135 and 16-45mm. A wide prime could be added at a later date if I felt the need.



My current options are:

1) Pentax 17-70 or 18-135 to replace the 16-45mm + wide prime if I felt the need.
2) Pentax X90 or similar, this would be an all day camera solution + macro capability
3) Buy a different camera bag so I can take the 50-135 out all day.
4) Wide angle convertor for the Canon G6

Any advice that you can give me for my holiday kit or suggestions for lenses or cameras that I should consider.
