If I were a Samsung owner I would more than likely buy it but having a K10D it would be daft me saving only £40 on a brand spanking new Pentax version with 2 year warranty.Oh well, if there's anyone out there who doesn't mind having a Schneider badge and saving some cash in the process...
I wouldn't wait tbh, get it on Ebay ... you never know, I may pick up a bargain
I find the best time to finish auctions that I am interested in (and for the seller to get a really good price)is around 3am on a Saturday morning

I suppose if Samsung ever bought the Pentax name it would turn things around in the future as all new users would want Samsung lenses on their Samsung body but personally, given the choice I would rather have Pentax lenses on my Pentax body.
Samsung users probably feel the opposite
Also, when selling on Ebay you have to allow at least 10% for their fees (if you use Paypal).

Clifton Cameras (Pro dealer) have the Pentax version for £429 so with cashback it comes to £379.
That is plus postage but then so is your friends.
I am interested in the Samsung but make it a point to never pay over 2/3 of the new price on a used lens.
I think he would do better on Ebay to be honest.

Their Pentax 12-24mm is not a bad price though, and with the £50 cashback as well I am quite tempted.

Camera - Considering new with kit lens is now £470 with cashback and SRS doing refurbs with 2 year warranty for £389 I'm guessing £300 at a push.
Grip - Around £70.
50mm - £100/£120
16-45mm - £150 .. maybe a bit less
50-135mm £? ... I would be interested in this
Edit: Thats what I reckon you would get selling it, Im not offering btw

I have one of these and it was sold as a Lens Pen! The felt end seems to leave a black residue on my finger so don't use that on the sensor , as for the brush, I would not have though of using that and still wouldn't.
They do different versions, one for lenses, one for the sensor and even one for lcd screens.[quote:3496ace15f="Mike-P"]
