What would be your best price without the TC Neil?

You've seen the A350 before I have and I live below the LHR flightpath.

I HATE YOU!

You've got a very good club locally Gary, Kingston CC have their exhibition on at the Kingston Museum which is well worth exploring (and it's FREE).

If you live in that London, the Societies Convention (SWPP etc) is a much better bet (it's crowded) but if you pre-register you can get in for free..

It's at the Hilton Metropole on Edgeware Road.

Nice pair of eyes. Like the photos

photos of the FA*80-200 will be appreciated.

Amazing camera, it had no chance when launched as the march to digital had already begun...

I bought one knowing at least I had to own, cherish and use one (I'd put around 100 films through mine) but in the end it was being used less and less so I parted with mine reluctantly.

It really is a must for someone to appreciate Pentax's penultimate film SLR for what it was, an absolute classic. Good luck with the sale.

Any other offers between now and mid-November? say on the D-FA*70-200?

As per the title.

Seen testimonies regarding D-FA* on the camera

Similarly the DA*60-250 - I have had one of these for 6-7 years (motor no.2), marvellous lens but I don't want to fiddle around with the internals, so that will be set to crop mode. I actually sold my Sigma EXs to fund the DA*, and as a FF Pentax was so far away from reality I went for a Nikon FX set up. Basically now I have crop and FF set ups in both systems but lacking that f2.8 telephone zoom on the K.

So, I am looking for feedback for the K-1 plus FA* combo (I know what I will lose out one if I do not go for the D-FA* - but there is a considerable price difference), are you satisfied with the performance of this lens on the K-1 or do you feel the need to splash on a newer optic?

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Has yours been modified Mike? I really do not want to modify mine but if it helps deal with vignetting then I might go for an FA*80-200

That's it - a D-FA*70-200 in silver with BIG PENTAX letters in black on the lens hood....
