Wayne, just to let you know your original K-5 ii is still in active use, and is also at the 3,000 mark now
Great stuff.....I'm just a couple of hundred shots behind

Thanks for the replies chaps.
I fully agree with your comments about the tilt screen Philip.
Having limited mobility a tilt screen is so useful for me.
Other than that as you say the ergonomics and handling are fantastic.
Kind regards,
Wayne.

Hi Guys...
I have not posted on here for a while. I have been enjoying other brands of camera which suit my style of photography much better i.e. touch focus...tilt LCD etc.
However I still kept my 18-135 WR lens and a couple of other lenses and was recently reminiscing about one of my fav Pentax bodies and one I regretted selling the K-5 mkii.
It fitted my hand like a glove and I just loved it.
I have been periodically searching for a replacement K-5 ii but nothing much really showed up, certainly not in great condition and low use.
Imagine my excitement when one cropped up "as new" at a great price. To good to be true. Well I now have it. Literally as new, less than 3000 clicks and a joy to use as I remembered.
Very happy indeed

They are very picky it seems - not interested in DA*60-250
I would hope that will change as they expand more in Pentax gear.
I remember asking for a price for the brilliant although niche camera that is the Sony RX1.
They where not interested but a few months after offered me a very good price and extended there Sony range massively along with there Canon compact cameras.

Hi Guys...
Just a heads up to those who may or may not have heard of MPB that they are now buying and selling certain Pentax cameras and lenses.
I have been buying and selling with MPB for the last couple of years and they offer a fantastic service.
Just yesterday I had a camera picked up from them. Free pick up via DPD, one hour time slot. The camera was picked up approx 3.30pm. I received a message from them to say they had received the camera this morning and the money was in my account by tea time.
I hope they expand their Pentax stock.
Cheers,
Wayne.
