Hi Guys,

This is something that I have never done, but I am looking for your help if at all possible? I have been shortlisted for the British Photographic Awards 2019, which was a major shock to me, and one that I am still pinching myself over. However, all the captures, which have passed the judges are now up for the peoples vote. Within the best street scene there are 2 Pentaxians vying for nomination. My capture called 'Pizza Man' can be voted on the following link;

While my fellow Pentaxian can be voted on the following link;

If you can vote for me/us I would be very much indebted to you. My nominated charity for all sales post event go to Shelter, so you'd be helping 2 good causes, these being 1.Shelter for helping some of the most vulnerable in the UK and 2. mine to only get to the awards

So without sounding like Sir Bob, please give me your vote...now... (no expletives here)

On serious note though, for anybody who does vote for me, Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Yours sincerely

Daz

DA* 16-50, now fully operational. Turns out if I switched it to live view the SDM woke up, Now works perfectly fine. Coupled to my K1 lens is a cracking piece of kit, but not being used so it's up for grabs.

Offers now at the asking price or above, ideally looking to get £250.00 if possible.

I will give it another go before getting it converted 👍

Thanks Barry

Hi Barry,

Yes tried that on my K3ii body, alas to no avail. Even removed battery, re-inserted with lens attached etc switched it on and off, typical IT helpdesk question, but nowt.

Manual is a dream though 😉

All the best

Darren

After upgrading to the K1 (mk1) I have not used my 16-50 for a little over 12 months. However went to use it yesterday on my K3ii, and it has fallen foul of the SDM gremlin. As I do not have a Pentax older than my K3ii, in order for me to convert to screwdrive, and to be honest I haven't really used this lens for 12 months I think it is time for it to find a new home. I did toy with the idea of having it repaired but the Boss lady has told me to off load not only this lens but some others too that I don't really use.

Optically the lens is flawless, there is no gritty feel in the focus ring, and it has always been covered with a 77mm Kenko Pro UV filter.

I am unsure really of a specific price for this lens in it's current condition, but apart from the SDM there's nothing wrong, it has both caps, lens hood and soft pouch, along with the box. I think that fair price would be around the £200.00 area based on google research, (Although I am open to sensible offers )

Preferably post in the UK, but will ship to the EU, however, please contact me to discuss postage for this , as with most sellers, I will accept PayPal (gift) but a bank transfer would be better or cash on collection. I am located in Birmingham, UK about 5 minutes from Birmingham Airport.
