I will send to Italy and everything of any real value is sent Signed For and with the appropriate extra insurance. Most things arrive promptly and without hassle.

Everything I sell on Ebay is sent signed for with insurance, no exceptions.
I'm not the one paying for delivery so if the buyer doesn't like it they dont have to bid. Has saved me a lot of hassle in the past.

From the looks of it we are going to get the best of both worlds, a smaller body for those that prefer it but a larger grip than the BG2 (from what I can see) to make it chunkier if that's your choice.

Well just realised the Price on Jessops is £45 so with £9 postage thats £54 which is a £1 loss and that's without packing materials and a trip to the post office

Just agreed to send one to S. Ireland ... my bank charges £10 to accept a payment from outside the UK. (Im sure they charged me more last time though).

I sent a lens to Italy a few weeks ago and the buyer had it within 3 days

Maybe you will find this one (as a camera fan) more appealing?

Mike, is that your camera too? the canon this image was shot with?
Amin, if I could shoot pictures like that I would be living abroad and driving a Ferrari. To me it's just a fantastic picture .. no matter what it was taken with.

I was reading on the Yank Pentax forum a few months ago someone was selling a number of brand new boxed PK mounts on Ebay BIN for £20 each. One eagle eye forum user looked closely at the picture and noticed the box had PK/A on it and so took a punt and bought a load.
They did indeed turn out to be PK/A mounts.

It's unusual for a 500mm mirror lens to have an aperture ring. They are usually fixed at f8 and the F---- indication is indeed correct when a lens of that type is fitted.
Good point

Go to the custom menu and look for aperture ring.
Set to enable.

( I am presuming the K-m is the same as most other Pentax cameras.)

Welcome to the forum btw.
