It's a D-LI90 I believe, like previous K-3's, so a charger for one of those would do the job.
I bought a USB charger from Amazon for my K-3 batteries - 20 quid-ish including 2 x DTSE branded batteries, which seem to work just as well as the OEM battery.

I've been using Flickr for quite a few years and find it useful and enjoyable. Though there are some inconsistencies in the interface it all works well and the social aspect of the groups is something I enjoy and learn from, with like-minded people all contributing.
I pay for a Pro subscription these days since I have well over the 1000 photo limit for the free account that was introduced a few years ago. The price goes up a bit every year and I no longer get the offers by holding off until the last moment before paying my year's membership, but it's worth it to have a place I can share and back up photos easily, as well as enjoy others' photos totally ad-free.

Very common and without the classic looks of the K100 or ME Super means that prices are generally very low though.

The 50mm is nice and solid, markedly better built than the later FA version. It's not as ugly on my K-3 as I had expected it to be either.
The SF7 looks fine but I'll need to find a battery for it before I can be sure. I'll probably run a roll through it so see how I like it and and least sell it on as film tested.

You may well not be able to replace the Bronica with what you get selling a faulty one. I would have recommended at least getting an estimate before putting it on ebay.

Having picked up the PLM, it's very clear that is the future of AF.
I do wonder if the old mechanical linkage has been the source of AF delays/bouncing to land on the accurate result. If you are fully after the fastest possible AF then we'll need to wait until Pentax releases other lenses with that technology.

It's a real looker (IMHO) and it takes superb pictures too !
