And as you do not want a boring camera you could buy it in white, or red...

Raw, I agree with what Don says, there is no noticeable difference shooting with jpg or raw with current software (I use Aperture), but you have more control when you make mistakes.

Thanks Davex for your comments!
I am not an experienced seller, so I welcome comments and offers, I am looking for a good home especially for the 2 Pentax lenses!

If you can afford the extra £35 or so over those special-offer AF360s, then I'd suggest the Metz 48 (£135 from SRS). Compared to the AF360 (which is pretty good itself) you get:
*One third more power (GN48, vs GN36 for the Pentax)
*Swivel head - this means that you can still bounce the light off the ceiling in portrait mode, which the AF360 can't
I bought the Metz 48 and I am very happy with it, reasonably priced, very easy to use and it does everything I need it to do as an amateur. I cannot compare it with other models as I have not tried them, but the Swivel head is important for me and that is why I ruled out the Pentax AF360.If you can afford the extra £35 or so over those special-offer AF360s, then I'd suggest the Metz 48 (£135 from SRS).

No interest in these lenses or did I get the price really wrong?

I have a few lenses for sale, I am not using them and I hope they can find a better home.
I took them with me today to my trusted camera service shop (I took my Spotmatic for a CLA) and I had them checked one by one, just to be on the safe side before posting them here. They all got a clean bill of health and the specialist reassured me that where dust is present, it does not have any impact whatsoever on performance. His conclusion was that they are all in perfect shape.
All prices below include shipment to UK/EU, payment by bank transfer or Paypal gift (buyer paying fees).
So, here we go:
Pentax m 75-150 4 + hard box: this lens is in very good condition, some dust due to age, but see above. I noticed a couple of tini signs on the front lens, but according to the service specialist they are insignificant. This was originally bought by my father for his MX and was very well kept. I have taken the decision to use only primes with the MX, so this does not get used. But it is a very good lens in all respects, with a very good reputation. Both caps included. Price £55 including postage to UK/EU.
Pentax fa 100-300 4.5-5.6 power zoom: Lens in very good condition, some dust, originally bought with a Z1 camera and now not in use as I have a DA 55-300. This lens allows both manual and powerzoom, which is very fast. Both caps incuded.
Price £70 including postage to UK/EU
Tamron AF 28-105 4-5.6: I bought this lens with a film camera a few years back, but not really used it. Very good conditions, some dust, includes both caps and hood. Price £55 including postage to UK/EU
