I'm selling all my Pentax digital lenses and keeping the film stuff. Prices include RMSD.

Pentax Primes

DA 21mm f3.2 - Cosmetically well used - various scratches on body and lens cap. Glass is perfect with no scratches/dust/fungus. Box, instructions, metal lens hood and lens cap and rear lens cap. No leatherette pouch but I could include a 3rd party pouch if you like. £130
DA 35mm f2.4 - Good condition, no scratches/dust/fungus, with box and front and rear lens caps. £50
DA* 55mm f1.4 - Used condition - glass is good with one small speck of dust inside the rear element which I hadn’t noticed in photos. Autofocus takes some “warming up” when first used but works well once it gets going. Manual focus is smooth. Still one of my favourite lenses in the system, takes fabulous images. Box, pouch, instructions, front and rear lens caps and hood. £300
HD DA 70mm f2.4 - Very good condition, just a couple of small marks on the body and lens hood. Glass is perfect with no scratches/dust/fungus. Box, instructions, metal lens hood and lens cap, rear lens cap and leatherette pouch. I feel sad selling this one, no one else makes a pancake-style portrait lens like this. £250 is a steal.
DFA 100mm f2.8 WR Macro - Very good condition, a couple of tiny marks on lens hood and body only. Glass is perfect with no scratches/dust/fungus. Box, pouch, instructions, metal lens hood, front and rear lens caps. £250
DA* 300mm f4 - Very good condition, mark on lens hood but otherwise excellent. Glass is perfect with no scratches/dust/fungus. Box, pouch, instructions, lens hood, front and rear lens caps. £450

HD DA 1.4x Rear Converter - Very good condition, Glass is perfect with no scratches/dust/fungus. Box, instructions, front and rear caps and leatherette pouch. £200

Pentax Zooms

HD DA* 11-18mm f2.8 - Mint condition, tested but otherwise never used. Still under warranty. Box, instructions, pouch, lens hood and front and rear lens caps. £800
DA* 50-135mm f2.8 - Condition only a mother could love. No box but lens pouch included. Tokina lens cap. Lens hood is missing the door for adjusting a polariser. Lens hood attachment on front of lens is broken and coming away, a careful hand might be able to superglue it back down. Rubber zoom and focus rings have various bits of dirt. Still set up for SDM. Glass remains in perfect condition, takes excellent photos despite appearances. £200 or make me an offer
DA Fish-Eye 10-17mm f3.5-4.5 - Good condition, no scratches/dust/fungus. Box, lens pouch, Metal front lens cap, rear lens cap. £230
DA 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 - Good condition, couple of scuffs on lens cap and hood only, no scratches/dust/fungus. Front and Rear lens caps and lens hood. £100

Third Party K Mount

Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 - Good condition, couple of marks on the lens hood but no scratches/dust/fungus with box, instructions, front and rear lens caps and lens hood. I loved this lens for a long time, named her Dorothy. £300. I have the K-mount USB dock to adjust the autofocus for an extra £20.
Sigma EX DC 30mm f1.4 - Plenty of external scuffs, glass in good condition with no scratches/dust/fungus, no box, autofocus works but is noisy. Front and Rear lens caps and lens hood. £50
Lensbaby Composer Pro with Double Glass Optic - Good condition, no scratches/dust/fungus, complete with full set of aperture rings, box, instructions and front and rear lens caps. £100
Triplus K mount dumb extension tubes 12mm 20mm 36mm - Very good condition, very lightly used only, metal lens mounts, boxed. £25
Kenko K mount extension tubes with aperture control - Very good condition, very lightly used only, metal lens mounts, boxed. £50

I never had much on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/153047920@N07/ and never had much engagement, I like it as a sort of portfolio on my phone. I have less than 500 pics on my page, and I’m embarrassed by some of the older images. But $70? No thanks. Having said that, I find other people’s photos a useful resource, so maybe the problem is that the funding model doesn’t reflect the value different people get from the service.

Be patient, I picked up a 67 in good used condition earlier in the year for £600 with box. Lenses aren’t super expensive (unless you want that 75mm f2. so it’s easy to add a wide and a tele to round out a kit.

This could be a really good camera for me. I love my K3ii, but would like some marginal improvements everywhere - AF, burst (speed and buffer but mostly recovery after filling the buffer, which doesn't get reported), high ISO (not super high, but if 3200 on K3iii looks like 400 on K3ii that will cover birding and indoors) and some quality of life improvements. Built in wifi is good if there is a good app, don't mind if this is Pentax or third party. I know Mike-P wants some proper modern telephoto lenses and I agree, but I'm not going to be in the market for a 600mm f4 probably ever. I would murder an APS-C 150-600 or similar, but that doesn't exist in fuji-land either. Whether this camera makes sense actually does come down to the experience of looking through the viewfinder, and I can't read that on a spec sheet.

How is the Irix 150mm for those of us who aren’t likely to get their hands on a FA* 200mm f2.8 any time soon?

Quite remarkable, you can make out individual cells. It’s an artistic decision, but can you make the light more even, maybe with some fill flash from the right?

I forked out on the 11-18 over the Black Friday period too. I think I’ve decided not to go full frame, my setup is heavy enough as it is. I’ve not had a good chance to test it properly yet but what I’ve seen so far looks very promising. Maybe we’ll get some snow and I can have a go with it.

Would rather not Amazon, but that’s a serious discount on the 11-18mm.
