Gareth, thank you, kind Sir

Spotmatic stuff SOLD.

I thought today was really good

I don't usually attend these sort of things, but today was good, and the people I met were sound !!!

I arrived quite early and caught the start, by accident, of the 5k run in the park. I started off well, managed to pry the 'fishy' off the camera and had the Samyang 85mm f1.4 on the K7.







The Samyang wasn't wide enough so I put the Pentax 17-70mm on,







Then the voices in my head started saying, 'fishy', 'fishy', 'fis . . . . . ,







Come on guys, if "PentaxExpert" can loose all the details in a daffodil, so can you !!!!

I got 6 cans of Stella, two haggis pies and a bottle of Buckfast, so I'm sorted too

Saw this too, was waiting for someone to buy and comment on them

I like these, 1 then 3 then 2 being my favourites in that order

The colours, atmosphere and presence you manage to capture stand out, keep it up.

More please,

John M.D.

Testdasi,

The Z-1 has automatic/ manual and everything in between , you would find the difference between the Z-1 and the K-5 operation quite small , have a search on the web !!!

What I mean by that is, apart from film / SD cards, a lot of the functions / dials / modes are similar.

Being a bit of a hoarder, this is hurting me, but, 'brain over heart', suggests these can go.

Pentax ME with 24mm - f2.8 lens, both owned by me from new. Both in good condition, focus on the 24mm is firm, but it was like that from new, and I just got used to it, other than that, optics are 5*, glass is 5*, and aperture movement is 5*. Included is a MEII winder, this was bought 2nd hand, also included is a set of Panasonic type 'Eneloop' batteries and charger, £90




I also plan to sell my K10D, this will come with all the original bits, including manual, cables, software etc, there are also 2 extra batteries included in the sale, one in the grip and another boxed. I still have the original Pentax boxes, and would like to sell it with the grip and 18-55mm kit lens. £330




My ist*DS is also going to go, very little used, got the K10D for a good price after I got the DS, so it sat in the background. It's like new and I have all the original boxes, cables, manuals, and software. The picture shows a 17-28mm lens attached, but it is only the BODY that is for sale at this price, ( make me an offer for the 17-28mm ? ) £140




Anyone interested in an old Spotmatic, in the Special Pentax 'Black and Brass' colours ?
I put a B&W film through it about 3 months ago, so it still works, comes with a 50mm f1.4 lens and a 135mm f3.5 lens, the filter thread on the 135mm is damaged, but the glass is fine. £55 for the lot ?




Last but not least, my favourite camera of all time, the Z-1. Bought new from Dixons in Inverness for about £500, as a divorce present to myself. Selling with the original box and manual, body only, the lens shown is a dud and wouldn't be included. Wonderful film camera, but I don't use it, £50




I may be open to offers, but I don't think the prices are unreasonable ?

I'm a bit 'old school', 'Pay-Pal', to me is a work-mate that buys me a pint on payday, so cash, cheque or some sort of bank payment would be good if you are interested.

More pictures or info ? Let me know.

Planning on making the trip through to Glasgow as well.

Got a box of 'Bits' that will be up for grabs if anyone wants to help themselves.

89 shots, WOW, but I love the final image, it's so . . . cool

I wish I had a steady hand and nerve.
