I was taking plenty of photos in low light (dark) last week in Budapest at 1600/3200 ISO. The AF worked perfectly, the white balance was fine on auto and I'd be hard pushed to see any grain at the 3200 ISO unless magnified an awful lot.

The 40's not on my must-have list but I share your dislike of eBay's greed.

Hmmm....
It's a lovely lens and I don't really want to sell it, having wanted one for so long, but can't justify keeping it sadly.

Had an offer on Ebay of £210 plus £7.50 postage for the DA 40mm Ltd which, after fees and delivery costs, works out at a net £183, so final reduction for a member on here to £190 delivered with RMSD which is £27.50 less than the Ebay offer price. Prefer it to go to a member for a decent price than line Ebay's coffers, but will accept the Ebay offer if no other interest by this evening.

I'm reluctantly selling a few bits and pieces as I have spent too much recently and something has to give.

First up is a DA 40mm Ltd with just under 22 months SRS warranty remaining (until 30/9/2014). It's in excellent condition as you would expect, used just a few times and complete with the leather bag, lens cap and hood. No dust that I can see. Takes super sharp photos and turns a DSLR into a pocket camera (almost!) as it's so small and light. £205 delivered by RMSD to the UK.

Pentax M 50mm f1.7. I have a surplus copy of this wonderful all metal fast prime. It's in excellent condition - no scratches on the glass, a miniscule amount of dust if you look very, very hard and cosmetically excellent except for a tiny scratch on the outer rim on the front just above the '1' of '1.7'. It has the original rear cap and a replacement front cap. It's a very good sharp copy - all the macro photos on my portfolio have been taken with this and my Teleplus macro converter which is also for sale. £32 delivered to the UK.

Teleplus macro teleconverter in a PK mount. Also in excellent condition, both optically and cosmetically, and responsible for most of the macro photos in my portfolio combined with the M 50mm above so you can see how good it is. Only selling as I have picked up a PKA copy, which was a lot more expensive and so far not quite as sharp £35 delivered to the UK.

Happy to post overseas, but please check first for postage costs. Thanks

Lovely pictures, my favourite is the first one. If I had known you were coming then I would have shown you some interesting places in Budapest.
Hi Gábor

Thanks. I did have a quick look to see if any members lived in Budapest, but missed you! You certainly have a beautiful city, especially at Christmas and the best Opera House/Theatre we have ever been to.
