As part of my "triming" of my photographic collection, I've got a lot of bits and pieces to let go, some for free
First come, first served.
You pay postage though.
Lets start with a Tokina SD 70-210mm F4 KA mount. In good nick, some dust specks inside, nothing to bad, back cap only.

I use panorama maker and it easily makes up very good panos. It only takes some time (many calculations) depending on your processor.
As long as you don't have overlapping images were people/objects your all right.
I typically don't even use a tripod, just shoot shoot shoot.
I'm sure its not the best, but I generally ok with the result.

Cleaned recently by Cameratiks (Edinburgh), this lens is in great condition.
As you all know, it has beautiful soft bokeh wide open and then sharps as you go down. I believe the F1.7 is sharper at F2-F2.8, but this gives you an edge on an F1.7 because the F1.7 can't quite capture the effect of the bokeh at F1.4.

The lens comes in a pouch with original pentax cap and generic back cap and two Jessops filters (UV + Polariser).

Glass is very clean with some tiny specks.

Don't have an acrylic so can't make the best of this shot.
Price is £95 shipped to UK via Special Next Day delivery.

Sigma 28-70mm F2.8-4 IMAGES:
Some dust specks on the glass, nothing significant and surely nothing that affects image quality. But they are there...
I forgot to take a picture of the crack, it is in the mounting side of the hood. It has had no effect on the sturdiness of the mounting of the hood though.
Once again the lens is £40 delivered.

Maybe people would like to know shutter count.
I've had third party batteries on my K10D, they are as good as the original.
Leaving photography or new gear on the way?

It was great last night, not too many people, but it was cold.
Unfortunately my friends wanted to go directly from the Uni, so I didn't take my camera.
If anyone else is thinking of going, there's a stand at the right side of "Gluwein" that had some really tasty pork steak rolls . So you can grab a snack and some mulled wine at the same spot
Night well spent.
