Thanks Womble

That is around the figure I expected

I will take some photos and put it on EBay

I have a "well worn" ME Super, (which is probably only worth £5 or £10 - but they are great cameras - "the Pentax Leica"), as well as the unused one

Thanks ikillrocknroll

The K100 was my first DSLR, it took me a long time to get away from film, I do like the K100, size is great and I like using old MF glass, but after I bought the D300, (6 months after the K100D), I just do not use the Pentax as the D300 has so much to offer, (again I have quite a bit of Nikon MF glass which I enjoy using).

But at £200 NEW, (see TTKs posting), for Body and kit lens the K100D must be the bargain of the month....maybe I should buy another for the kids at Xmas as 6 mega pixels is all that you would ever need......although if prices fall that much I would wonder about what will happen to the prices of the K10 and maybe K20

Thanks Terry

I did not realise that they were that price new

I goggled the Camera etc, and came up with the following prices for the Camera and lens

£499 on Amazon
£431 on Digital Rev
and £294 for the body on DigitalRev

also just checked on Ebay and the prices that I quoted seem reasonable

guess I need to look further

Maybe you should take the ad off and post that the K100D plus kit lens can be bought for £199 new in Camera world as it will save some guys paying more than they need

At that price I reckon that i should keep it for Macro work with my old pentax glass

I still think Pentax DSLRs are very good and Pentax glass is great but I have always used Nikon as well as Pentax.......I bought a D300 about 6 months ago, (I also have lots of Nikon "old" glass), it just blows "everything out of the water" for my needs.

Can I say virtually unused as i am not sure if I put a one film through it as it is so long ago.
But it looks unused

I have an unused Pentax ME Super and 50mm 1.7 M lens
Film of course

Still in original boxes and plastic bags, plus paperwork and booklet

Can any of you guys tell me how much it is worth

I am thinking about putting in on EBay but will of course consider any offer

I suppose it is in "as new" but a few years old condition, never really been out of the box as it was my "back up" - I can take a few photos and post them if anyone is interested

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your replies

Started "hunting" on the web and found the following:

nice "bit of kit"

all the good "bits and pieces" seem to be in the States

Cheers

I fancy taking an old M42 lens apart, (just for fun - but maybe to try to learn a little).

Where can I buy the "tools" and kit from to do this - obviously precision screwdrivers are not a problem but how about the tool needed to remove the screw thread rings etc.

Any other tips really appreciated - apart from "don't do it"

Cheers

Peter

if you do not mind me asking, what scanner did you use? - any advice on scanners - presumably it is better to scan slides or negatives?

The subject, (scanning), is new to me
