I've got 5 litre two powder pack box of the stuff that's been lying around for a couple of years that i'm not going to use.
So if anyone want's it you can have it for free and pay the postage.

I hope you're not leaving us ?

That's a fine collection of classic lenses - at very good prices! I don't understand why lenses such of these aren't snapped up anymore
Yes i'm afraid i'm leaving the fold after may years a Pentaxian. I do a lot of camping/fishing and have found that i'm just not using the gear any more taking a wee old Lumix lx1 instead. The K5, three lenses and bag etc comes to around 2kg. My two man tent is lighter!
So i've decided to take a leap of faith and go all Fuji buying the X-E1 and 10-24mm lens which i hope for a zoom is as good as the reviews i've read.

Another rare lens 28mm f3.5 which unfortunately has a couple of light scratches with one being visable in the image at about seven oclock, and there are also a few numbers etched on the barrel each side of the ft/m window. Other than that the lens takes great images and works fantastically. £70 + postage

I think Pentax the brand is highly thought of by people who were around in the pre digital days when it had a larger share than the "other two" in 35mm slr sales.

You will however have noticed presently as a brand name it's high street presence is pretty much non existent being the domain of the other two.

So either they were being friendly. Or being friendly in a pitiful way thinking you hadn't moved into the digital age, or as i suspect genuinely envious and feeling a bit sorry for themselves in not having done enough research.

Personally I've only met one other Pentax dslr user in 35yrs and that was on St Malo beach a couple of months ago.

Another vote for Marumi. Try fotosense or amazon for the best prices.

Buy whatever you fancy mail order and see if it meets your expectations.

If not send it back within seven days and get your money back.

It's the only way i can really buy anything living in a remote location.
