Thanks Alan. Not something that I have tried, but I can see it working. Whether I can actually pull it off is another matter....

Dog in on the act as well, but with the A-50mm 1.7 this time. Much sharper than the 55-300, but so hard to take action shots with a manual lens.

Probably biting, they do a lot of that when playing

Can't get anywhere else today and the ground is frozen so hard I thought I'd let the ponies out for a run for the first time in months. All with k-30 and 55-300mm, which I haven't used together before so still learning. Shutter speed a little low for freezing the action - my mistake, but will know better next time.

Hi everyone,

As mentioned in the old thread..

'For forum members I am happy to 'cover' the guarantee as long as there is an original purchase reciept enclosed if warranty work is needed.'

This still stands - the only cost involved would be postage back to me and for us to send back out once repairs are completed. All items would need to be returned to us so we can sort. We will cover the postage from us to the manufacturer.

Hope this helps everybody!

Chris
Thanks Chris. Can I just clarify - this is forum member to forum member sales, not a forum member buying off Ebay or elsewhere even though the lens might still be under warranty and have full receipts etc.

So forum member to forum member is covered when sold on the classifieds here and the warranty is transferable. In this instance it was a proposed purchase off Ebay so it wouldn't be. I didn't mention the forum or Ebay, just asked if a valid warranty was transferable to a new owner which it obviously isn't except when sold on here where Chris has made a specific exemption.

That makes things clear. Quite a number of adverts on Ebay might need changing.....

Thanks

Hi John. I'm talking about lenses bought new from SRS originally and still under warranty, for the original buyer. It was Doug who replied to my e-mail. There may be a special deal for lenses traded on here, perhaps, but not sure how that could be proved. I'm not knocking SRS - most places wouldn't transfer warranties to second owners, but many people advertising on here, myself included, seem to think that SRS did.

From adverts and discussions on here I've always been under the impression that the warranty from SRS (and presumably other Pentax Pro dealers) was transferable to a new owner. I was looking at buying a used lens with SDM and aware of the possible failure on this specific lens, e-mailed SRS to confirm this. Their reply said that the warranties aren't transferable which was a surprise. I would always have been prepared to pay a premium for a used lens from SRS as I assumed the warranty would still be valid.

Many recent adverts on here would imply I'm not the only person who thought this so just wanted to share.

Same here, only my e-mail was in French. Refund is in Paypal now though (and not in euros......)
