Unfortunately they don't come in Pentax mount
You'll have to switch to Canikon if you really want that one.

Yes, I know this seller, in fact I ended up buying that same head, but used, from the US... and ended up saving 5 quid! (postage was a lot more than it could have been).

I did get a much better bargain, imho, with this:
NEW BWG-J2 Black Widow Jr 2 Gimbal Tripod Head by Jobu

I ended up paying just under 120£ delivered (avoided import duties), and it's already sitting here with me - looks very good, and it's actually light!
I haven't received the indian one yet, will try out both, but I'm pretty sure I'll end up keeping the Jobu, as it's significantly lighter than the other (looking at the specs), and it can also be used without the removable swing-arm, for smaller telephotos set-ups.

To be honest I haven't seen any K20D on sale for under 400£ on this forum either.

Ok,

I was under the impression that the K20D was still fetching higher than that.
Here's the latest eBay sales I found:
429£ with 18-55
549£ with 18-55
430£ with 18-55
461£ body only
440£ body only

They've got a "55-300 F4/5.8 ED DAL Mint & Unused" for 149£ on this site
The price of the FA* 28-70 2.8 doesn't look too bad either...

Still looking....

Hi,

I'm looking for one of those two:
Manfrotto 393
Indian Sidekick-type Gimbal

Or maybe even this one (if heavily discounted :mrgreen:
Benro GH-A

I'd be happy to pay between 2/3 and 80% of the price new, depending on the model and condition.

Please PM me if you've got one to offer.
