Thanks Mike for this info, I will definitely be keeping a look out for it weather permitting! 😀

DA*300 sold to Haris.

Due to moving house soon and down sizing I have reluctantly decided to sell the above items.

Firstly I have a SMC Pentax-DA 21mm F3.2 AL Limited. This is in excellent condition with cap and hood. I don't have the box but have the soft pouch. I am looking for £220 for this.

Secondly I have a Pentax SMC DA* 300mm f4 ED (IF) SDM. Again this is in excellent condition with hood, caps, soft pouch and box. I'm looking for £475 for this.

Finally I have a Pentax K5 mk2. The camera is in brilliant condition with a shutter count of 19530. I brought this from SRS as a new but demo model, it didn't come with a box or original charger and battery but I'm including the third party ones I've been using. I'm also including a 3rd party grip. I'm looking for £230

All items in excellent condition, pictures on request, bank transfer or paypal.

Mine failed when it was about 18months old so was lucky enough together it fixed under guarantee, its worked brilliantly ever since (3-4 years?). I think I would have paid for the repair if I had to.

Think the prices are good Gareth, I would have snapped up the 50-135 but just don't have the spare cash

Pentax needs to bring out fantastic stills cameras but they need to be pretty damn good at video too. Though Pentax does come out with some great unique features, it needs to compete with other manufacturers in all technology or it will die. It's also true that some video features can help with stills photography too, check out what some cameras with 4k ability can do, also check out how a touch screen can help pin point a focus point.

All very nice Derek but number 4 is fantastic!

Excellent shots Nigel. I like no 4 very much and the one of your daughter is smashing, think I like the mono best!

1st class shots Nigel, and colours are wonderful!. All very nice but think number 3 is my favourite, love that deep red colour behind contrasting with the two white flowers. Yes some of these older lens are still giving excellent results!

Great shots, and nice and sharp despite being hand held!
