I'll keep an eye on ebay for your kit Gerald

I don't believe you bought the camera in Conway

I think you're about 5-10 miles out west and bought it in COLWYN BAY, from those nice people at Cambrian. Don't start me off about misspelling Conwy

Anyway - it is free to sell. I could be tempted by the K3ii and 16-85. You'd get an idea of the price from other listings in the forums.

However!! JAK has a good point - don't put yourself down, it takes time to get used to equipment - I still love my suidicidal K3, it looks unloved but it is a gem to use.

1st class stamps aren't cheap these days Mike...2 on ebay for north of £6500, the one from Czechia is more complete, Then I start salivating over FA*400s.

But I guess I am like you Mike - we have f8 compatible camera bodies and sticking an 1.4x over a 400-450 mm lens will get you the same result from a more compact package.

Hope someone will come along and prise the item from you, use it and cherish it. £6000+ is a lot especially when rental is made more possible for those of us living close to Fixation or SRS,

You're thinking of parting with the 250-600? It's an unwanted lens, I'll take it off your hands for the price of a postage stamp

won't have had a good offer from LCE judging by the £100 they offered for my K-5 at Focus.

That looked like good fun

He won't - he's the modern day George Lazarette, determined to own and sell every Pentax branded and 3rd party item

One thing you can be absolutely sure about - he takes care of his kit, so the buyer will not be disappointed.

Thanks David - it is the same on the K-3. It's an often asked question I found and the answer was found on another forum...

Works rather well.

Not happy about leaving an expensive lens in the boot either - even in a 3-box saloon....Bad enough round here tealeaves on mopeds taking bags left on seats in Sainsbury's. Thieves have even wised up to the fact that more people are locking expensive gear in the boat and as a result thefts from car boots in local leisure centres are soaring - because they've worked out the gym users normally stop off at the gym between the office and home....

Digital camera didn't give it such a good write - but the again, give them a polished turd with a Canon sticker and it will get 9/10. I really don't know why I subscribe. takes no more than 1 hour to read it.
