NO worries at all - as I said unlikely - but who knows what people want to buy nowadays!!!

OK upgrading the kit.

Currently main is a K20d and backup a K-m (New from currys March 2009) - but a new toy means the K20D becomes the backup and it's time to pass on the K-m - a great beginners camera that served me well.

Excellent condition throughout - very little use since Jan 2010 (when I got the K20d) - guessing around 8-10K shutter clicks, though if there is a way I can check this I will.

Has the advantage of running on AA batteries - so can always easily get hold of some replacements quickly should the inevitable happen.

Comes with the twin kit lens of

Dal18-55mm f3.5-5.6al
Dal50-200mmf4-5.6ed lenses

Also

A Sigma 70-300 f4 - f5.6 DG Macro (non APO)

Both the kit lenses are 52mm diameter, so I'll include any 52mm filters I find as no use for them any more.

£230 RMSD to UK addresses.

I accept Paypal gift and Bank Transfer.

unlikely to - but if you would consider splitting - i'd be interested in the head.

Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 EX DC

and / or

Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX DG HSM


In excellent unmarked condition with boxes and end caps.


Thanks

Up for sale is my Sigma 50mm f2.8 EX DG Macro lens in as new condition with front and rear Sigma caps and box.

Bought off here approx a year ago, and had very very little use, as the 17-70mm spends most of the time on the camera.

Selling it to fund a 50mm f1.4 Pentax or Sigma.

Will post pics later - however it is THIS lens.

£200 incl RMSD.

I accept bank transfer, paypal gift, or if you are local cash on collection.

How about a K-m with 18-55 and 50-200 twin kit lens for £250 shipped GB. Excellent condition.

7,500 clicks and a really good entry level camera.

OK think this is the right area to post this question in, but apologies if not.........

I have a pentax K20d and want to do some star trails........... rather than having 1 x 60min exposure, I want to do someting like 80 x 25 secs with a small interval in between........... less noise - less light pollution etc - and then stack in Ps.

So had a play indoors with the interval shooting mode.....

For example if I set it on M with a 10 sec exposure and an interval of 11 secs is it

a) 0.00.00 shutter open, 0.00.10 shutter close, 0.00.11 shutter open etc

or

b) 0.00.00 shutter open, 0.00.10 shutter close, 0.00.21 shutter open etc


For ref i have selected 10m Jpeg only with 3 out of 4 levels for quality, but i find if setting up for say 9 shots, using a class 10 SD card, It's getting about 6 of them............

which is odd as in rapid fire mode at that level i struggle to hit the buffer on jpeg only.



any help much appreciated

Due to upgrading my camera I now have for sale my original DSLR.

Pentax K-m Purchased new from Currys digital in Norwich Apr-09 but hardly used this year since snapping up a K20D in warebouse expresses bargain basement winter sale.

The Pentax K-m has a 10.2 Mp sensor, and like all pentax DSLR's has a built in shake reduction system - allowing you to capture sharper shots at lower light conditions. (Some other cameras rely on Image stabilisation in the lens.)

Also due to Pentax's method of lens- body attachment you can use any Pentax lens (or Pentax mount lens) with any Pentax DSLR. (Some much older manual lenses will require an M42 thread adaptor which is also included.)

The K-m is capable of shooting in any mode from Full Auto through to Full Manual and Semi auto modes (Av, Tv, TAv) as well as 6 specific programme modes such as Sport / Landscapes / Portraits etc........

It also has an advantage of being powered by 4 Standard (or Rechargable) AA batteries. In case you are ever caught short so to speak, believe me it's much easier to find replacement AA batteries in an emergency than a dedicated specialist camera battery!

The camera is in perfect working order, has always been well maintained and kept in a case when not being used and has a shutter count of approx 7,000.

[IMG]http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n237/lyntonsmith/sunagorlens.jpg[/IMG]
Sunagor 50mm

All lenses come with front and rear end caps, and the sigma (purchased at a later date) will come in its original box.

The Sunagor is an older manual focus lens but is very good for portraits due to the speed of the lens and provides some very nice bokeh.

In addition I will include 52mm and 58mm HOYA UV filters - which fit over the front element and helps reduce UV glare, but their primary function is to protect the front element. (It's far cheaper to replace a filter than it is the element.)

So that all you need to start shooting is some batteries, I will also include a 4Gb SD card and a Lowepro Altus 160 carry bag in excellent condition to carry it all around in.

Asking price for the body, 4 lenses, SD card, and Bag including delivery is £385 - by cheque or bank transfer. I will accept paypal, - but all fees are at the buyers expense. Alternatively if you are local and wish to pick up, cash on collection is also fine.
