Excellent set. Another bedroom birder. What do the neighbours think you are up to with the camera at the window?
Luckily we don't have any neighbours for 1/2 mile in that direction One of the advantages and disadvantages of living in the countryside.

Excellent shots, I bet you're pretty proud of them.

Hi David

Thanks - they came out better than I expected considering I simply dashed upstairs, leaned dangerously out of the window and fired away without giving any thought to settings. Just shows we can overthink things sometimes, as carefully planned shots don't always work!

Sadly my last photos with the K-30 before I sold it which is a shame, but needs must. Camera-less at the moment whilst I make up my mind about a replacement

Some pictures of the Billingham 335. As you can see, it is in excellent condition.

K-30 now sold to a forum member

Pentax 55-300mm, Billingham bag and Raynox DCR-150 still available.

AA adapter still pending payment and interest in the 50mm, but not sold yet.

Thanks

Had an offer on the K-30 of £355 on Ebay which works out at £304.93 after fees, postage etc.

Happy to let it go to a member on here for the same price (£304.93 not £355!) plus RMSD which is £9.75 (to UK) so a total of £314.68 or it can be collected from Norfolk and save the postage. Rather do that than make Ebay richer.

Probably have to get back to the Ebay offer tonight though

Hi Paul

Thanks, but £150 is too low, sorry. I had a good look on the forum before listing and £180/£190 is about right for a good copy including delivery.

Could, (and I'll admit that I don't know), "Catch in focus" be an option for the OP. I use this with manual lenses, will this work with AF lenses, but with camera in MF mode?
Doesn't work with AF lenses - camera body needs to be in AF. I guess you could perhaps mask the AF contacts and force it work, but probably not worth the hassle. Catch in focus works great for macro, but I've never had much success with a distant object. Mind you, that might just be me...
