I’m tempted to buy one just to resell in a few months (not on the forum I would add!)

Park Cameras have the above kit (includes battery grip) at £1149

Don’t think it does the brand a lot of good!

That deal on the 70-200mm is amazing!

Bought new from SRS in August 2022, so warranty will be transferable for forum members.
Absolutely mint condition, boxed with all the supplied bits and pieces.
The shutter count is 1329, and the camera operates perfectly.

It’s difficult to price - MPB have a couple at mid £1500’s - I paid £1599 for it, so I think a figure of £1350, plus postage of your choice, is very fair considering it is, in effect, a new camera. Collection also can be arranged.

I have not taken any images of the camera as I assume everyone knows what a new K3iii looks like, but I am happy to do so if anyone requests it.

Reason for selling is that in addition I have a K3 and K5iis, and just fancy trying the Olympus OM1 for my bird photography.

Payment by bank transfer or PayPal gift.
I will not send outside the UK.

I do have the matching Pentax battery grip available for a separate discussion if required.

Thanks for looking.

Well, it would really be nice to have a Pentax youtuber (not him, preferably) that had some support from Pentax. It would be nice to have someone getting loaner lenses and doing some reviews and testing. Good for customers, good for brand exposure. Good for everyone.

I know that Sony goes to the extreme with it, but there has to be a happy medium between the Pentax level 0 community engagement and the Sony blitzkrieg.
Here's a couple of chaps who regularly upload to YouTube:

The second chap Kobie M-C seems to get some support from Pentax by way of lenses to test etc..

How will a crop mode be visible in the viewfinder of an SLR unless they're activating hardware that's been there since the beginning?

For both the 1.3 and 1.7 crop modes, a relevant frame is shown in the viewfinder.
Just one thing- the crop only is relevant to jpg images, not RAW. I got caught out on this!

I have a very good copy of this highly regarded lens I am not using.
I will post images in the next couple of days, I'm just drawing attention to this opportunity of owning this scarce lens.
Front & rear caps - no original box.

Price is £185 delivered.
Bank transfer or PayPal gift.
