Hi some photos of camera, case and the boxes they came in. Camera has no issues though I should have got rid of the specs of dust before photographing it. There is one spec of dust in the viewfinder.

Hi selling my Z1P as I'm looking for an MZ-S and need some dosh to afford one.

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.

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
Yes you should sell a liver, but make sure it's somebody elses.

They look excellent.

They remind me of antique ships telecopes or something.

I hope they perform as good as they look

Yeah, but you weren't impressed by the 31mm on your DS. Fine on my K10D, wasn't it?

Actually it was the 35mm F2 but it was the auto focus that was rubbish. It wont focus well with the 43mm Ltd either in fact 50mm lenses are the only primes it likes but as I have 3 I think one has to go. Actually it's ok with the 135mm too ( mostly ).

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.
I have one too, and use it on a Ds with no problems at all!

Dear socky, the Tamron will be available forever, this 50mm wont be. The makes a great portrait lens on digital and breaks the magical F2 barrier which the Tamron doesn't. Must post some pics but House is on in 5 minutes, doh!

For sale one like new ( really like new ) Pentax auto focus 50mm F1.7 lens the later FA version. In perfect condition.

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.
