Very cool, Don.
My wish list just went down the tubes !!!!!
I made a 'rash' promise to my daughter to take her to New York for Christmas, ( from Scotland ), if she passed her final exams.
Guess what,
I'm busy looking for cheap hotels in Manhattan.

Just make sure everything's insured.

Don't be too harsh, after all it was me who was interested in 'other' brands! I have to admit I still have my old Zenit 12XP, a commie brick, built like a T34 and just as rugged! Still...Quote:

OUCH!Used it in preference to my MZ-5n.

I much prefer pulling out one of my Pentax bodies and playing, any lens and body will do!

Can't you use sniping tools?
In an auction a dealer should never be able to outbid a private buyer as he has to resell with a margin unless of course he's a rubbish businessman. And, to be fair, why should the stuff sell within your budget?

When the dealer is a foreign one they tend to sell into their home market at high buy-it-now prices, that way they cover the cost. the dealer who got the lens was VERY specific about packing for delivery to him, maybe he re-uses the packing, anyway as womble says, there will be another along next week.Can't you use sniping tools?

Oh yes and the 'you didn't win' e-mail really rubs it in!

Well a dealer's bought the lens, his listing and profile info on ebay are "private", but he appears to be from the USA. It realy p****s me of when these guys jump in,using sniping tools and hoover up all the good stuff, what chance do other bidders on a tight budget have? when will ebay do something about this?

I want one of these lenses for use with both film and digital cameras, but the one I've been watching is now at £43, I'm not going to go any higher than that. Which one is next, oh bugger it's the SRS one. I'd have liked that to be going on a bit longer, still...

Hmm, the price is rising...well we'll see how high it goes before making anymore moves. The SRS lens at £79+ caraige is still an option.

So Centon cameras don't seem too good then, know what you mean about the Vivitars John.

That's only what I've been told, but what about the k200/400 models? are they Pentax copies/ clones/ modifications? Or are they an older "other manufacturer" model?

Mine came with the same as above, but i also snagged a deal on the tamron 70-300.
Would love to get a decent macro & w/a lens next. Just waiting on a 28-80mm that i'm going to keep specific for portrait work.
