I have all the boxes and body cap etc, instructions and the nice case and box for that too. Bought it as NOS only 4 years ago from Jessops, must have been a very late one. Last used Christmas with excellent results, will post a link tomorrow.
Goes really well with 24-90 ( not included ), balances very well and fits in case.
Camera has batteries and is in absolutely great condition.
Focuses like lightning and feels great in the hand. Best grip shape Pentax have ever done.
Manual is a bit tatty, through use but camera is not.
Perfect companion to the K10 / K20 as it has all the hyper modes and twin dials.
Better spec than MZ-S as 4fps winder at least as good as a Nikon F90X
Camera on it's own £135 with case £150 free postage in the UK otherwise at cost for abroad.
Pay any way you like, come and see it if you like.

Any questions don't feel shy. Will post pics when I can, ebay Sunday if not sold.
Cheers.

thank you for the advice...
Now, have you got any ideas on how to make £600 in less than 4 months??? Should I sell a liver?
Cheers

They look excellent.
They remind me of antique ships telecopes or something.
I hope they perform as good as they look

Which version was it ? I had mine a week and ditched it right away.
Dan
But you are right the K10 was MUCH better, the only problem was that I couldn't use macro flash with the K10
I did try a K20 out last week but the exposures were all over the place on two different cameras I tried, though the auto focus was good like your K10.
Like you say though it's maybe a DS thing. The K20 didn't show any purple fringing or blooming with a lens that showed these faults up easily on both the DS and K10.

I did have a non digital auto focus Tamron 90mm macro but I didn't have it long as the amount of fringing and blooming were awfull on the DS. I assume that this will be fixed on the later version.

Supposed to be sharper than the 1.4 version but I can't tell on a crummy DS, maybe it would be obvious on a K20D.
You can't buy them any more and are very hard to find.
I don't need two so I'll keep my tatty old 1.4 and sell this mint condition one.
This would suit a collector if there are any out there.
£95 which includes free special delivery in the UK. Anywhere else ask about postage.

If no takers I'll ebay it on Sunday for the same amount but the postage won't be free.
