whole bundle £275. everything in full working order but the Rear Screen on camera has dead pixels over battery icon top right and in cold weather a line of dead pixels runs down right hand edge, does come with everything , box, charger, battery, leads, strap, and both discs (user manual and PDCU4) the 17-70 has a slight tight spot around 50mm when zooming in or out in MF, in AF it manifests it self with the image in the viewfinder doing a little jump up and back, comes with box and paperwork. Sigma Macro all fine. as i said all in full working order with the foibles they have making no difference to performance. any trial welcome
would prefer collection at J13 M5 , meet in Stroud or happy to deliver within 30 miles of Stroud

you need PDCU 4 if you rea;lly must have the Pentax software. from what i gather Silypix produce software for various manufacturers. personally i find it awful to use (PDCU 5 for K3) the only thing i found was it did a good job with pixel shift images apart from that i would thnk Gimp would be a better option if you want some thing free. looking at Ricoh Imaging Europe site though PDCU 4 is available as a download under the K5 II

have K511s and K3 11, the K5 is far better at focusing in low light. there are also a few changes on some of the buttons , for instance when magnifying live view it is press ok then scroll rear wheel whereas K5 is just use the info button, there are others, lack of onboard flash on k3 concerns some people. the only reason i bought the K3 was because it was on a good price together with the 16-85 and the K5 had had a couple of lock ups. hoping to convert it to IR but other stuff keeps taking the money i.e an expensive operation on the dog, new tyres on car, wife wants a holiday

this is K3ii pixel shift so maybe not relevant but i was impressed . the first is the shot hand held which took a while for the camera to process hence all the movement. the second is after motion correction in DCU5

a few people have said that Ricoh produced the zooms to go with the K1 to entice new users or get users from other brands interested. now that would be all well and good if these people actually had the choice of suppliers the other brands have to be able to buy from

the second seems to have a more natural flow to me and I would have flipped it if I had taken it. right handed and left eye strongest, according to my spectacle prescription

have a Pentax wired remote from the K7 era that allowed half press af ,as per the camera shutter release , on K7, K5 and K5iis but will not allow it on my K3 ii. AF with Remote set to ON in menu. is there a difference between my remote and the latest weather sealed unit. the IR remote has never allowed it hence the use of a wired unit plus it has the lock down for long exposure
