Reduced to £160 inc RMSD

I have recently purchased an FA 43 1.9 limited and can't afford to keep both so the 50 has to go. Its in great condition with original caps and box, full working order. Also includes Kood skylight filter that has been fitted to the lens for most of its life. Its also listed on ebay but cheaper via the forum.

I'm looking for £170 including RMSD, payment by Bank Transfer of Paypal (buyer to pay fees)

Thanks eenymac, did you order it from them direct?

I too partook in the Amazon £180 offer, not had much chance to use it yet but judging by your images it was a good deal.

Have you got any details for the Flip-Bac grip you bought eenymac? I'd be quite keen to get one too.

DA 40/2.8 XS on my K-01, so small it makes the camera look more like a point and shoot, but its very sharp, great contrast and colours, only got the combo last year but some of my favorite shots came from that combo, partly because its small enough to carry with me in a belt bag, so I have it when I otherwise wouldn't have had the SLR.

Were all the channels set to the same on the rx and tx's? I've got them mismatched before now and they fail to fire

I checked last night an mine are Yongnuo RF-602's, like Ken says I think they'll work with any brand despite being advertised as Nikon or Canon, they may be able to transmit exposure to Canikon, but if you use your flashes on manual the triggers should still fire them. I use mine with the Pentax AF360FGZ (in manual mode) and a Yongnuo 560 (is manual mode only), both work great with the triggers as long as you use shutter speeds of 1/125 or less.

I used them to buy flash triggers can't remember the brand, I can check later. Cotswold were fine to deal with quick delivery, items well packed and worked fine. The only problem I have is that occasionally at shutter speeds of 1/180 there is I sometimes get partial black shutter curtain on images. I seem to remember the triggers to be rated at 1/250. Never had a problem using 1/125, I'm no stobist expert so this may not be an issue with my triggers.

I had a K-30 and have recently picked up a used K-5, my reasons for wanting the K5:
- Quieter Shutter
- Dedicated buttons for setting metering mode (spot, cw, and matrix), and focus point (single point, multiple etc). I find it much better for changing these on the fly than messing with the info btn and back screen.
- Locking mode dial, on several occasions I found my K-30s mode dial had moved from AV to TV while getting in and out of a bag. I lost shots because of this, e.g. shots on a bright beach in TV mode 100ms were very over exposed, obviously I noticed and corrected to by then the moment had passed.
- Top LCD, wasn't too bothered about this but occasionally useful.
- Battery, the K-30 battery frequently needed charging, also the K-5 can share batteries and charger with my K-01.

Cheers Steve

The 18-135 arrived safety last week thanks, only just got round to posting! Very well packed took about 15 mins to get to it! My son thought we were playing pass the parcel
