For sale is my Pentax K-5 with DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL WR lens fully boxed kit plus a super Pentax DA 18-135 AL WR lens

It's in excellent condition throughout and everything works as it should - Shutter actuations: 9184 which is nothing for a camera like this

It comes fully boxed with all Pentax neck strap, lens hood, accessories, cables, manuals, papers, charger, two battery(one Pentax and one Energizer) and a new 8gb Class 10 SD card

Excellent reviews online it is a semi pro camera with magnesium body that is weatherproofed although this camera has had a pampered life. Top quality 16 meg sensor, large bright view finder, superb build quality and super ergonomics

with a Pentax DA 18-135 mm WR lens which is a great walk around lens and perfectly matches the weatherproofed K5 body

We still have a camera shop in York - Yorkcameramart. I've bought a couple of pre-owned cameras from them over the past two or three years. They are knowledgeable but the shop is intimidating. I bought a £400 Fuji camera and I was given about 30 seconds attention and sold an inflated price memory card to go with it. I still look in their window as they have pre-owned gear, some expensive some reasonable some cheap like they're a bit out of touch with prices.

The independent shop I do recommend is Harrisons in Sheffield. Great website, good prices, great customer service and I believe they offer free P&P

Great Photo

I've not ridden a Square four but my mate had an Ariel Leader. I believe the engine was a 250 two stroke. It certainly produced enough smoke LOL

The Chinese are taking over the world with their cheap goods

They seem to be increasing their quality but I prefer to buy better brands if I can

PM regards K-5

Hi I've just registered on your forum so I thought I'd better introduce myself.

I currently own and use a Pentax K20D with the standard Pentax 18-55 and 50-200 mm lens

When I was at college, many years ago, I attended a photography course and bought a Pentax MX film camera which gave me years of pleasure

I have recently returned to photography and last year did a six month correspondence course to update my skills. I've tried a few cameras since then from quality compacts like Canon G series to DSLRs from Nikon, Canon and Pentax. Each camera just did n't tick all the boxes but I think I have found the right camera for me now with the K20D. It feels like a proper camera with brilliant ergonomics for my big hands, excellent viewfinder, great IQ, easy manual controls all for not too big a price tag

Kind regards Lee
