Unfortunately the cat looked at 'nothing'
Cat's never look at 'nothing'. If they are looking in any particular direction, there is always a reason.

Nice images, the cat is puuuurrfect but could use a tighter crop to lose some of the extraneous background, but those gooseberries look more like red currents and black currents. Gosoeberries are green and hairy.

Wow - well that surprised me!
I just used the photome software and it shows the K20d only has a shuter count of 1208, thats a lot less than I thought!
Hardly run in then, new, essentially. A good buy for somebody.

Peter, you're going to hell !!!!!

Chris, I was made aware of my destiny a very long time ago. It's not news to me.

You'll find the shutter count by using Photome on a Windoze PC to view the last image taken.

I think what Amin has failed to mention directly is that he's defected to another brand, so why would he keep the Pentax lenses if he's not keeping a Pentax DSLR.
If so let him be, he at least has found the joy in photography by Pentax so he will never forget.

ps. this in classified adverts Peter, we shouldn't be talking about that here, John will get mad.
I just click on Forum > New Posts and rarely (read never) take any interest in which forum the post is in. Is it that important if I'm answering somebody else's query within the thread?

If somebody (anybody) is selling something here, are we not allowed to know why, no matter what the reason?

I wonder... Would you be able to trigger the SEF-36PZF by optical slave via the popup flash, and then use a hot shoe radio trigger and receivers for the PE-3057's?

No idea if that would actually work...
As far as I am aware you can't use the pop-up flash and hot-shoe together but I believe there is a lens/camera/P-TTL flash combination which works without firing the pre-flash. A series and older lenses rings a bell.

Yes, radio slaves would be a simple and cheap answer. Currently they cost £31 for a transmitter and 3 slaves from Hong Kong.
