I guess you are right. Apart from selling my KX, I have not sold any Pentax bodies.Though it is more likely the prices will come down even further as K200D and K20D prices reduce from their initial high. Bodies are not a good investment; buy them to use them. Now lenses on the other hand...
Rather like computers, at some point you just have to jump in, buy something and accept that next week the same model could well be cheaper.

Must be in excellent condition, boxed with all the bits.
Anyone out there looking to upgrade and want to move theirs on to a loving home?
I will only buy from someone here that has serious feedback if they want paying upfront. The other option is that I will accept another high standing member holding the camera and upon receipt to them I will pay and then the camera can be forwarded on.(at my cost of course, provided I can get someone on here to agree to that).
Am living in Spain so postage to here would be appreciated but can arrange a UK address if needbe.
Many thanks.

Some of the secondhand K10D's that have appeared here have been the same price or slightly more than a new one from Chris @ SRS.Must be in excellent condition, boxed with all the bits.

Chris does post items to forum members in Spain.
The current price for a new K10D body from SRS is almost half what it was Christmas 2006.
If I was selling a K10D body, I think that I would wait until the new stocks are exhausted, which will not be long, in the hope that secondhand prices will then rise.

Thanks for the replies so far.
I notice that you all choose the K10D over the new K200D, can I ask why?
I live in Spain at the moment and due to my remote location and the fact my Spanish is non existent I cannot get any "hands on" experience with the chosen model and will be having the camera posted to a friend in the UK who can then forward it on.
From what I can see the K200 is smaller than the K10 which for me would be ideal as I have fairly small hands.
The other thing is that in my travels I notice a dealer (who I have contacted and am awaiting a reply) that has refurbished K10s and was wondering if anyone has had any dealings with them? - http://www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk/
Thanks again.
Many, many on this forum, including myself, buy their kit from SRS.Thanks for the replies so far.

I would recommend them without hesitation.
I also agree with the recommendation for you to buy a K10D.
SRS has amazing deals on these at the moment.

Talking to Simon at SRS Rayners Lane yesterday regarding this problem
( he suggested the 18-250 as a good replacement ) I went mad and bought a Pentax smc FA: 1: 1.4 50mm. It seemed like a good idea at the
time. Does anyone else do things on impulse ??

...........what would be the best replacement ??...............
The best would probably be the DA* 60 - 250 F4 except it is not out yet (due later this year) and it will not be cheap ...........what would be the best replacement ??...............
I will leave it to others, with far greater knowledge, to suggest lenses that are currently available.

Clarky,
Not wishing to hijack this thread but did you have a good Easter break :
The weather here has been diabolical

I think that it is best to wait for one of the lens experts on this forum to comment.
I cannot see any sign of any contacts, so I assume that is is an old manual lens :
My old Sigma KA mount lens (mid 1980's approx.) does not say anywhere on it what mount it is and the mount looks an integral part of the lens, whereas your lens almost looks as though it has had a Pentax K adapter mount added.

Could someone tell me how to post photos on this forum?
The site itself does not host photographs, so you need to register on a host website such as flickr or Photobucket etc.Could someone tell me how to post photos on this forum?
They are free unless you want one of their more elaborate services.
You then upload you photographs to your host site. Once this is done you copy the image code (last option in the case of Photobucket) and paste it into your message.
Press the preview button to make sure that it has worked correctly and then submit.
It might sound fiddly but it is very simple in reality.

I recommend that you post some photos to precisely illustrate what the problem is.Just wonder whether I could post pictures on this forum, that way someone might point out what the problem might be.
Someone will then, almost certainly, be able to provide a solution.
