The following are available. Everything is in good condition at least and has been well looked after. I haven't attempted to price every item individually, but please PM me if interested, and we can agree on a competitive price. Anything that doesn't sell here will be on eBay shortly!
Bodies:- K-10d, K200d; and also a film Z1. (And there may be a K-7 available soon, once I can persuade my wife that my decision makes sense!)
Lenses:- Pentax 18-55, 50-200, 50-135, Sigma 150-500, Tamron 18-250. Old lenses from film days include Pentax 50mm f1.7; 28mm f2.8; 28-80 zoom and a Sigma 75-300. (Coming soon, probably, a second Tamron 18-250, a Pentax 100mm macro and a Sigma 10-20.)
Flash: Pentax AF-360FGZ.
And a bag - way too big for my intended new kit - a Tamrac Expedition 5X - which holds a body or two and four or five lenses plus loads of 'stuff'.

I'm nowhere near Essex, but, Glyn, as I'm in Guildford I'm not so far from Ash Vale if you fancy a Pentaxian meet-up!

Obviously if your disappointment means you're looking to sell, do let me know!!!

Thanks for the helpful contribution. I hadn't tried Bristol - might give them a ring tomorrow. As you say, CameraKing look pricey (and I'll bet haven't got any anyway).
Your comments about being a bit disappointed obviously concern me. I've seen radically different reviews. At one extreme, the current 'Digital Photo' (perhaps not the most authoritative of reviewing bodies) rates the Sigma above all other comers for wide-angle zooms, including Canon, Nikon and (more relevantly) both Pentax options. This rating includes absolute Image Quality as well as value. On the other hand, Richard Day, so helpful to Pentaxians here and elsewhere, didn't much like it, and thought it quite outclassed by the Pentax 12-24. But Richard can always be relied on to prefer Pentax glass. Not quite sure where I go from here, but it's probably academic in the absence of availability.
Thanks again.
Paul
