Hi. It was bought from a forum member a couple of months ago so doesn't have any warranty. Not much to go wrong with these lenses though and condition is excellent, both optically and cosmetically.

Sigma 10-20mm now sold, thanks

PM'd you, Mike

Some photos as promised - just the Billingham bag to follow as it's currently full of kit!

If anyone wants any more photos or info just ask

That's very true, certainly in this instance. I daresay the DA* 300mm I passed up in favour of the 55-300mm would have made for much sharper shots, but I doubt I would have got many of them. They were jumping about all over the place and I was constantly having to zoom in and out to frame them.

Add to that the fact that I was leaning some considerable distance out of the bedroom window at the time, the only thing stopping me falling being a foot hooked over a chest of drawers, the additional weight of the DA* might have tipped the balance

I'll send you some down, Matt, we have loads around us - more likely to see one in a restaurant in London I'd guess

They are beautiful birds. We would probably appreciate them more if they weren't as common instead of blasting them out the sky in the name of sport.

Pleasure, Kevin. Glad you are pleased with it.

I was lucky enough to have these two visit my garden earlier. A bit far away, but some nice photo opportunities and enough feathers left on the ground to stuff a small pillow.....All with K-30 and DA 55-300mm, mostly at 300mm.

PM replied. AA adapter provisionally sold.

Having thought long and hard I have decided to sell my lovely white K-30 and lenses in favour of something smaller and lighter to use when travelling. I'd like to have both, but funds don't permit that.

First up is my white K-30 body. Bought from SRS Microsystems in November 2012 and in absolutely excellent condition. I can't see anything that would distinguish it from new. SRS recently confirmed that they will honour warranties for forum member sales so it has the bulk of the 2 year warranty remaining, until 31 October 2014. Shutter count is 881, but that might rise very slightly in the meantime, but not by much. Comes with box and all original paperwork, manuals, CD and the original receipt from SRS, plus 3 batteries - two original Pentax ones and one HAMA which is just as good. Best price is £439 currently according to camerapricebuster so priced to sell at a very reasonable £320 including RMSD.

Next is my Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC. This is my favourite lens for Pentax and the one I am most reluctant to sell. According to many reviews this is the better version of the two available and my copy is excellent and very sharp right across the frame. Also in excellent condition and complete with both caps, box and soft case. Some photos with it can be seen here https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/some-photos-from-budapest-with-the-sigma-... and I have more if required. £235 including RMSD

Pentax SMC DA 55-300mm f/4-5.8 ED. This is the more expensive of the two versions with the metal mount. Also in excellent condition complete with the box, both caps and Pentax soft case. Some photos with it here https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/ponies-in-the-snow-39079. £185 including RMSD.

Pentax A 50mm f1.7. Cosmetically excellent, clear optics, free from fungus & oil and a lovely smooth focus ring. The only thing to mention is the aperture ring's 'A' setting unlocking button needs to be depressed to turn from f9.8 to f11, rather than when going from f22 to 'A'. There's nothing sloppy in the way the blades stop down or open up. It's just like having an f11 warning lock rather than an 'A' setting warning lock. And it's an irrelevance on any Pentax SLR/DSLR from last 25 years or so as the aperture would actually be set on the camera and the lens ring would be left permanently in the 'A' position, but I mention it for completeness. The last picture here was taken with it https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/ponies-in-the-snow-39079 as was the 'Icy Flowers' picture on my portfolio. A lovely sharp lens. Front and end caps. £45 delivered.

Pentax D-BH109 AA Battery Adapter. Tested, but not actually used on my K-30, just carried in case of emergencies. In excellent condition and full working order. £20 delivered.

Billingham 335 Safari Cordura camera bag. Billingham arguably make the best camera bags in the world and this one is no exception. In waterproof rip-stop khaki Cordura, tan Leather & Brass it is used, but in excellent condition. No rips, stains or marks, just very fractionally softened in appearance compared with brand new which makes you look well -travelled!

Basically the same as here, but with cordura rather than canvas, which I prefer. http://www.billingham.co.uk/acatalog/335_Camera_Bag.html

External document pocket, main compartment, front compartment with two padded pockets, two small front pockets and two pen pockets.

With two padded compartments each holding two lenses (8-15 and 9-18 Superflex) and one padded divider. Velcro allows these dividers to be positioned as required or removed entirely. Shoulder strap with optional leather shoulder pad and double carrying handle with leather closer/grip. Small loops on base allow either a monopod or tripod to be carried externally.

External Dimensions
W370 x D220 x H265mm
W14,1/4 x D8,1/2 X H10ins

Internal Dimensions
W355 x D150 x H220mm
W13,3/4 X D6 X H8,1/2ins

Easily holds everything I am selling (and more) in a compact and stylish bag. Approx £250 new and a bargain at £100 delivered.

Raynox DCR-150 macro close-up attachment. Used just once to test with my 50mm and 55-300mm lenses where it worked perfectly, Absolutely as new and boxed. The 'Ice' picture on my portfolio was taken with it. £35 delivered.

Pictures will follow if required. Everything has been priced to include postage so if anyone wants more than one item I will re-calculate the prices accordingly. Obviously this depends on the items and the weight as Royal Mail's pricing is a bit odd sometimes. I'd prefer to sell the K-30 before letting anything else go as I'm off travelling in 6 weeks and don't want to be left with a camera and no lenses!

Any questions just ask. I have bought and sold many times on here with excellent feedback. Prices assume payment by bank transfer.

Thanks for looking.
