I am sure there are good reasonably priced ones around, but my view on this is always...."if you spend hundreds of pounds on a decent lens, why would you try and save a few bob and risk putting inferior glass in front of it". Stick with a good well known brand.

You can cancel his bid, tell him in advance. Then edit your listing to specify UK only and amend the postage price.
You may wish to consider joining the ebay Global Shipping Program. It cost nothing to join, ebay calculates the extra cost of overseas postage and charges the buyer separately, and you simply send your item directly to ebay's UK address. Then any problems with shipping are down to them.

You may perhaps be thinking of a different lens. I sold mine for £200 and that seems to be the going rate based on ebay completed listings.They usually go for much less, I'd say it's worth less than half the asking price.

Thanks for the comments. I used a 2 stop ND Grad to balance the sky, plus a 10 stop ND to give me a 20s exposure time to get some sense of movement in the sky.

What camera are you using? edit Kx I see
I assume that the version of Camera RAW in PS CS5 is too old to recognize the DNG files produced by your camera. Have a look here https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
DNG and PEF files are both RAW files. DNG is Adobe's universal RAW file and PEF is Pentax proprietary one. Both will need converting in a RAW converter to produce images which can then be saved as JPEG or TIFF for example.
edit...PS CS5 is compatible with Camera RAW 6.7 . It appears from the link above that you should be able to open PEF files in Camera RAW 5.6 and above. So you should be able to open them ?

I went along to Painshill Park yesterday to hopefully capture some pictures of the follies. The sun was playing hide and seek as I got there so didn't really get what I was after. Here are two, and as usual always appreciate any comments. Both with the K1 + DFA 15-30
