Just looking to replace my K-3 grip and 16-85 after it was stolen a few weeks ago. Have found k-3ii , grip and lens for £1264.00 delivered from Bristol camera`s. Has anyone had any experience with this company or know a cheaper deal that I have missed. Will probably be looking for cash sale and not finance at this point.

Cheers from a newbie

Just looking at k-s1 and would probably suit him better. Am even thinking of k-s2 for me but really like and was starting to get the hang of k-3. Loved the weight especially with the sigma 30mm and grip.

Ironically I work with drug & alcohol uses for the NHS in Bradford so have direct contact with burglars but its still difficult. Had treat myself to a good camera after quitting smoking and now just wondering about replacing with second hand or starting again. Have fortified the door they came in and they would need a JCB to get back in. That photo was taken on the Isle of Skye which is worth a visit for any photographer especially the new bridge I,ll post one I took there after I upgrade.

Was all insured and got a good payout but nice to get my 2 favorites lenses back. The idiot who stole them sold them the morning after and I had serial numbers so police sorted it out. They got his name and photo ID from the shop he sold them to so hardly the brightest criminal about (warrant issued).
Photo 2 is Lochness but have no idea of location as me and my lady got lost trying to take a picture of the place we where staying in.
Thats my son in the first picture at Minehead, Love that picture! I,d got him a Nikon L340 but after seeing the photos he`d taken realised I should have bought he a proper DSLR and he`s only 8 so am going to treat him for his birthday

Joined the forum then got burgled. Took my K-3, 14mm, Sigma 30mm, 16-85, 18-55mm and much loved 10-17mm. Very sad as also took my son`s first camera too so have promised him an upgrade to K-7 or K-5. I did find 2 of my lenses on ebay and police returned Sigma 30mm and and 16-85mm so time to replace the others. I have looked around and decided to replace with Pentax as can`t quite match the quality with other brands. I have included some images taken with the kit before theft. Am currently looking to purchase a K-3 (and battery grip), K-5 or 7, 18-135mm, 10-17mm so if your selling very good condition kit give me a shout.
If you click on them it shows them right way up

How much for the body and bits only? Just don`t need the lens.
