Yes, you can use a macro lens for normal photography. And very good they are as well.

It's tidied somewhat now, please do the chat in Lenses. The lens has been offered for sale, can we please clarify it it's been sold? If it has, the chat can go back into Lenses as it was.

Update: The OP has confirmed that the lens is still for sale and he wants it to be seen as a Classified Ad.

After the sale is concluded I'll put the other stuff back in Pentax Lenses, unfortunately the forum software doesn't cater for splitting threads.

This is supposed to be a Classified Ad. Please restrict it to offer for sale and relevant questions. If it gets cluttered with a discussion it becomes impossible for buyers to know what is going on. Has there been an offer accepted? Is it now sold? If not, I'll be tidying up the thread in due course.

My expectation would be £80 - £100.

It's also a good idea to start off communications in a pleasant way - demanding buyers who lay on the threats get the seller's back up straight away and you may well get less of a settlement.

I really would start off with the assumption that the seller will respond positively - if not then just start a case.

Then the situation is clear. First approach the seller, as you have been doing, and give him the opportunity to put things right. If he fails or is unwilling to do so, then start a claim with PayPal or eBay as appropriate and you will very likely get a full refund.

Just one extra Pentax original battery should do it. When I tested the camera it was well nigh impossible to shoot enough images to even dent the capacity of the battery. Likewise with the K-r.

My brother-in-law is still using whatever batteries came with the camera some three months later, and he's shot hundreds of images. So replacing with similar might be a good choice.

It is quite a while since either logged in.

They are part of the bag as originally supplied so I think I'd be looking to return it. They are integral to the way the bag works.

No doubt Lowepro could supply them but the cost might outweigh any saving you have currently made.
