Never thought I would see you sell this lens Mike...
same here....

This is one lens I would only sell if I were to change system (and buy a new one..)

Great even with the 1.4X and 2X converters, you can solve most of your long lens requirements in one go...

Ok, let's have a try:

Zooms:
Pentax 12-24mm
Pentax 50-135mm
Sigma 100-300mm

Primes:
Pentax 31mm
Pentax a50 1.7
Pentax 77mm

I'll leave the 7th place open, maybe a 43mm? Or a 10-16?

My paypal account is not linked to my bank account at all, I only have my credit card connected to it. I never had any problems paying so far, but maybe I have not reached the credit limit. What is the credit level that would trigger the requirement of the bank account?

It could also be a risk management matter, as you you have protection with your credit card that you do not have when you pay from your bank account. This means that in case of a dispute you can ask your credit card company to stop the payment, effectively bypassing PP resolution process?

I'm not sure how consumer protection works there, but I'd have thought you'd have a claim under the EU laws relating to goods being of reasonable quality assuming that you're the first owner
Yes, that is exactly how it works, as Italy applies the EU regulations on the matter.

Welcome Stuart!

I also started with a Cosina CT-1 around that time, I still have it. As a student I could not afford a Pentax MX. I look forward to seeing your pictures.

I also think that number 4 is the best, I really like that portrait. The color version is the best, but I think also the B&W has potential.
