Good morning all,

My Pentax K-5 plus grip is for sale, reason? need room in cupboard to accommodate the 'new toy'. I actually preferred it to my K-3 (which has some sort of mission to fall on the floor and break itself so that isn't for sale).

It is in a very good condition, no marks or scrapes, screen protectors (folix) attached since new. Bought late 2011 so was not affected by the sensor stain issue.

Shutter count is 23100. So, barely run in, it has travelled comprehensively.

Only missing items are the leather strap lugs.

Boxed (but it is a kit box - item bought without lens), with all the bits (cables, CD and charger, and strap in mint condition as they will come straight from the K-3 box)

Also there is a second battery (Blu-Max DLi90) for the grip - never had any performance issues with it. Comes with the AA battery tray). Boxed and in excellent condition.

Sandisk Ultra II 8Gb memory card (Class 2 15mb sec) and 2 x 4GB cards

Asking price for the complete set is £320 (plus RMSD to UK addresses - if there is interest from overseas please check with me for postal rates) - offers might be considered.

Would prefer to sell as complete package, would rather not be left with the grip as it fits the K-7 and K-5 (plus ii / iiS) variants only,.

Item located in SW London. Collection can be arranged. Payment by bank transfer preferred.

Thanks for looking

Peter

Cambrian did the same deal on the K-1, couldn't resist...

I bet you checked the camera before you checked yourself. I did that in Hong Kong 10 years ago, couldn't walk properly for months, M645, Z-1 and *ist D were fine but left knee mangled.

For portrait get the Pentax 50 or 70, or Sigma 50f1.4 and then a few cheap extension tubes to turn the lens into a macro. Best of both worlds. The macro lenses are a good alternative but you need larger aperture lenses for portraiture.

Not interested in a K-5?

I have a voucher for a photography day at the British Wildlife Centre - hmmm mammals or owls...

If Chris is willing to tempt me with an irresistible P/Ex on my K5 + grip then I could be tempted....The D3 does most things absolutely excellently, even 12MP is adequate but when the damn thing clogs up the buffer after 5 shots it's time that makes way for something more modern.
