I am about to purchase battery grip for my K5 but wondered if someone out there was thinking they no longer wanted theirs, if so I would pay a fair price.

Got mine second hand a couple of weeks ago and I am delighted with quality but to be fair I sometimes think my eye sight is not 100% as I look at pictures posted and can never see half the faults people point out.
So personally I am happy with the lens and can find no problem with it and mine was a good price.

Lens arrived Tuesday from Finland, very well packed and in excellent condition, will be trying it out over the holidays.

Did some tests at weekend and all seems well. Will try again in a few months just to make sure.

Thank you for your help.

Thanks,I will try some more test shots at the weekend.

Yes I have had a look at that thanks but you don't say if you have to enlarge the picture to see the stains.

Or am I missing something?

Hi Everyone,
I am still new to this game as work keeps me away from home quite a bit so I don't get the time to look at the forum as much as I would like but I have been reading about the stain problem and wonder if you have to enlarge the image to see these stains.
I got a K5 from Amazon in February this year and have not spotted any problems yet but not sure how much you have to blow the image up to spot the stains.
Your help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Philip.

Thanks for all your help, Brett has been in touch and I have sent a PM.

Will let you know how it goes.

Philip.

Thanks Chaude, I think it must be sold as I have tried to contact him/her several times without success, I live in hope there is one somewhere.

Philip.

I am looking for good condition lens, will pay a fair price.

Philip.
