I want to reduce my collection (I seem to buy more than I sell.) Since buying the K-1, my APS-c gear gets less and less use and since I can use the money for something else, I decided to sell some of it.
Here is what I have to sell:

1) I am sure I will regret selling this one, but here goes. HD-DA 20-40 Limited which IMHO is one of the best zoom lenses out there (in any case, it is the best zoomlens I have ever owned.)
Bought from new, lens is well cared for and in overall excellent condition. Optics are excellent (no fungus, no scratches, no nothing) as it is mechanically and cosmetically. If not for the lens cap, which has some scars (cap tends to fall from the lens (problem well known with the 20-40 Limited) Overall I would rate it a 10/10.
Items included: front and rear cap. Lens hood, carrying case and original box.
450€

2) SMC DA 12-24 f/4. Lens is well cared for and in overall excellent condition. Optics are excellent (no fungus, no scratches, no nothing) as it is mechanically and cosmetically. If not for the lens hood, which has some scars overall I would rate it a 9/10.
Items included: front and rear cap, lens hood.
350€

3) SMC DA 10-17 f/3.5-4.5 Fish-Eye zoomlens. Lens is in overall great condition. Optics are good (no fungus, no scratches, no nothing.) Lens has been well used of course and cosmetically it will show a scuff in the paint here are there. Overall I would rate it a 9/10.
Items included: front and rear cap.
200€

4) SMC F 50 f/1.4. Lens is well cared for and indistinguishable from new. Optics are excellent (no fungus, no scratches, no nothing) as it is mechanically and cosmetically.
Items included: front and rear cap.
150€

I have photo's from the items, feel free to ask.

Prices in Euro, not British pounds.
All items priced to sell (I think they are competitive, but if you don't, you can always make an offer.)
Paypal excepted (with buyers protection) and will ship around the globe (ask for a quote on shipping cost.) Item location: Antwerp, Belgium.

Any questions, just ask. Looking forward hearing from you!

2) I had an annoying problem with the auto-ISO behaviour (it always returned to 3200 max ISO after switching off no matter what setting I put it in.)
Just wondering, were you aware that is the default setting and that behaviour can be turned off in the 'Memory' options (along with some of the other settings?)
If you had unticked that memory option and it still did it then it would have been a fault, but otherwise is was behaving itself according to your camera settings! If you weren't aware of those memory options it's worth getting acquainted for exposure compensation and drive mode settings etc. too.
I'd hate to think others may pick up on that criticism when there isn't an actual issue to criticize! Maybe the defaults in the ii version are different, or if it is something you mentioned and the technician turned that option off for you.
I can certainly turn my K-1 off and back on and the ISO setting stays the same.
Yes, in the memory options, when ticked, it always returned to the last ISO setting I used. When non-ticked, it always defaulted to auto-ISO = ISO 3200 max. It was a very annoying problem, but now luckily solved... Never new what caused it tough...

I agree withe the lack of EVF. If Ricoh to release an updated Q with EVF (or at least an add-on EVF) I would be all over it. I want a portable package for times when I can't be bothered to bring my K-1 along. Will probably get the Ricoh GR II or III...

I hadn't seen it, thank you, John. If you're ever up to it, I am curious about not sending abroad. Seems strange...

Hey John, if you would ever change your mind about sending to Belgium, I gladly take it out your hands...
