Hi Guys...
Reluctantly for sale is my Pentax K-3ii.
Purchased used in "excellent condition" from WEX only a couple of months ago it is practically as new condition wise.
With screen protectors over both LCD's it is unmarked.
Very low shutter count which I will confirm.
Still the remainder of the 12 month warranty.
I doubt you will find a better condition example.
£425.00 to include next day RM Special Delivery.
Kind regards,
Wayne.

Steve...
I wish you all the best with Sony.
I made that move and am so pleased I did.
I really have a soft spot for Pentax and may pick up a K-70 at some point as that was a camera I really enjoyed using.
When I purchased a Sony a6000 I was extremely pleased how well my Pentax lenses worked with a adapter in manual mode.
Focus peaking is brilliant and works so well and accurately.
My Pentax SMC 50mm M lenses are a joy to use. Particularly the 50mm 1.7 and 100mm 2.8.
Only yesterday I added a Sony a7 (full frame) to my collection. So I have even more options and focal lengths with my 50mm and 100mm, being no crop factor.
The a7 - used mint condition - was less than £500. We are so lucky nowadays with so many options.
Sadly for me Pentax have been left behind somewhat, but at least I still feel part of the Pentax clan with the brilliant manual lenses, albeit for me on a better camera(s).
Cheers,
Wayne.

PENTAX 55-300MM DA L LENS.
Hi Guys ..
After moving on most of my Pentax gear I came across this lens in a drawer in my study.
The lens is in excellent condition.
It produced very pleasing images of birds on the feeders in the garden.
Nice light weight zoom lens.
Looking for £90.00 to include next day RM Special Delivery within the U.K.
Cheers,
Wayne.

Thanks Wayne.
When you look at other peoples situations it really brings home how lucky you are, you just wish you could tell your head that! You've had it really rough and a true beacon of how you can overcome so much and still be positive and I do take my hat off to you. How is your son now?
I feel I'm still in a 2 steps forward one step back place but it's getting easier for me. I've got a fly bite that's got infected and that has given me fly symptoms, dizziness and left me feeling weak so it's sort of brought my mood back a few weeks so I'm trying to stay positive but when you feel like crap it's all too easy to let the demons back in ....

My son is doing very well thank you.
So well in fact he has just finished his 2nd year at Uni studying Law and a month ago set off on a cycle bike ride, on his own, going from Hull to Holland on the ferry and has traveled through many countries including Holland, Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, Austria, Germany, Italy, Slovakia and is currently resting in Budapest!
Hope you are now recovered from the bite and enjoying your photography.
Kind regards,
Wayne.

Hi Guys...
I am a little late to this post but thanks for the link Barrie.
I could relate to the article very much.
Like the contributor I also had stomach surgery (lots of it) and a few years back started to suffer from anxiety.
The stomach surgery was a result of a big accident 30 years ago in which I suffered lots of injuries including a brain injury, internal injuries and had to have both legs amputated below the knees.
I have been doing really well though and always been the outgoing happy bloke in the picture.
However in recent years things took there toll.
My son was diagnosed with a brain tumour and my father diagnosed with Parkinson's - and he died approx 18 months ago after much suffering.
Fortunately I am slowly getting back to my old self and photography is my big passion and gives me a big reason to stay positive.
Hope the rwst of you guys continue to do well.
Gareth having purchased a camera from you in the past and followed your posts, if you ever need a chat just drop me a message mate.
All the best,
Wayne.
