Lens had been sold! Please close

Weekly bump!
Happy to send more samples - it's a great lens and perfect upgrade from the kit lens!

Bump!

Hello ladies and gents!

It's time for me to part with this smashing lens! It served me well throughout its time but I've switched to primes and can't justify keeping it. Never had any problems, always looked after (filter on since I got it!) and comes in its box with some paperwork (albeit not pictured). Used on both Pentax K-r and K-5 - gorgeous on both!

Condition: 9/10
Aperture and focus ring both working as they should.
No fungus or dust inside.

Included:
#Lens
#Original Hood
#Kenko UV Filter
#Box
#Papers

I'm looking for £200 inclusive of Royal Mail Special delivery.
I can accept bank transfer or cash on collection.
UK only please.

For anyone interested: I think I've narrowed it down to K3 II or 6D.

How much of a step up from K5 would K3 II be? I'm sure someone already asked that but in a nutshell? If I was to go with 6D, I'd probably need to sell all my gear although I have a feeling I'd keep it for a while until I slowly grab all the lenses I need/want for 6D. I had a look at Fuji XT-1 and although body can be had for around the same price as K3, lenses are a bit dearer! Definitely not for my current budget.

Tanks in advance

Evening gents,

Just a quick answer before bed. I wanted tether mainly for the client (studio) so they can review what I'm getting. Macro work - I'd be happy to make do and adapt. On location/properties - so that I can see what I'm looking at and won't have to disturb the camera on a tripod and I can control it wirelessly.

Saying this, I may have found a simple work around for studio - pktriggercord (supports K3 and newer models now) and Bridge, albeit won't be able to introduce a basic import edit. I've also found a 'work in progress' wireless app for Pentax cameras with WiFi so possibility of K1 other than FluCard?

I'll be honest - I haven't even thought of looking into Sony's so might have a quick look.

Just wanted to say thank you for all your replies and suggestions, much appreciated. It's always been hard for me to make gear decisions!

Afternoon,

I wanted to upgrade mainly for tethering (studio, portraits, interiors). Tethering K5 at home studio works fine, but bit of a hassle when shooting on location. I figured it may be a good time to justify a change so looked at the cameras I listed. I was about to get a 100mm macro + wide zoom but thought I'd ask for opinions before I do that in case I decided to upgrade to newer model/different system. As I mentioned, I do not need to do it now and I'm happy to wait for any good deals but would much rather know my options/others opinions before the time comes.

@JAK Thanks for this, really helps out. Re Pentax and their Image Transmitter...let me just whip out the spare £200 that I have stashed in my camera backpack so I can find out if it works or not! Surely they should have offered it for free to begin with!

So to get a properly working tether, I need a K-1 and their IT2. Hmmm

Sorry, I probably should have mentioned! Currently have a K5 but thinking of going either K3, K1 or swapping over to 6D or D750.

Morning,

Only just noticed this thread and it's actually what I'm trying to work out for myself or swap systems as ideally I need wireless (or wired) tethering that works in a studio(portraits) and outdoors (property/interiors).

Does anybody have any experience with the Flucard at all and how reliable/fast it is?
