Found an ESII case + strap (as claimed by dealer) in E++ condition in US at $16 but postage will cost more than the case + strap, trying to figure if its worth it, Regards

Hi Matt

Does the MV use the same case as the ME super, found a dealer selling an MV with case & Strap, trying to see if he will sell me only the case & Strap. The whole set rated as m- is going for £49, Regards

Thanks for all your kind feedback. Dangermouse Unfortunately I do not have a paypal account as required by the seller. The 1st and last time I purchased from e-bay France, the seller accepted my French cheque. For overseas purchase I normally post details of my card, works well so far.
Mind you on a couple of occasions for items less than £10, the sellers did accept equivalent in Euros cash sent by mail.

With the cost of CLA added, might be better to get an LX in good condition, this one that I saw on the net in UK for £200+ carries a 6 months warranty, still a bit steep. I suppose we are of the same mind, trying to look for an E++ LX at bargin price.

So far I have been pretty lucky with all my Pentaxes (except the SIa)all must have had very careful previous owners.Regards

I'm on the lookout from various dealers for the cases, being in a small village and in the middle of agricultural country, we do not have any 2nd hand equipment dealers where we are so the easiest for me is through the net. Know of any dealers in UK where I can get them, will appreciate.

I do keep my eyes open for an LX but have to be cautious, there's one going for £200+, a bit steep.

My bad experience was a beat-up SIa,(photo on e-bay was doctored) still it works, one of these days I'll change the top and bottom plate as well as the latch for the back opening.

You're right, half the time when I'm on skype I do not understand what my little granddaughter is talking about,

Joining this site has improved my written English a great deal, can be a bit difficult when you have 3 languages circling in my brains, each time when I write, I have to check with the dictionary especially for spelling.

Still I think I can bluff my way around with the 3 languages, Thanks Pentaxians, reading the various posts is sort of English without tears for me, Regards

The MX with lens plus all accessories at £50, if minty, it is a steal, the MXs as listed with the various dealers at Ex+ is in the region of £80+, unfortunately I keep clear of e-bay, having had a bad experience sometime ago. It may cost more, but I feel more comfortable with reputable dealers.

An ME super ERC is also on my want list, they seem difficult to get, still a little patience may bring some result

My Pentaxes are SP500, ES II, K2 & ME super, might possibly add a Super A

Llangynidr, Powys, NP 81 NT, does it ring a bell, Regards

Great, Thanks Dangermouse for saving me from buying the wrong case, will have to wait until a K2 case comes along.
If you are shooting around Llangynidr you may bum into my son, Regards
