This is a quite rare example of the Pentax branded Tamron 18-250 super zoom with Pentax SMC coatings which gives better contrast, colour and flare resistance than the Tamron coating.

It rapidly became my most used travel zoom with my *istD and also my later bodies. It's IQ is much better than you'd expect and it's really compact and lightweight. A great one lens travel solution!

It is in absolutely mint condition, complete with hood and caps, but I can't find the box. I'm looking for offers in the region of £250 inc RMSD.

Payment by BT or PayPal gift (all charges prepaid).

This was my first Pentax DSLR, it is still in full working order and has produced many fine photos. Shutter count is around 15,000, I can't check exactly as I don't have any CF cards left.

I would like an offer in the region of £75, if any lower I think I would rather keep it in my small collection of 'memorables'

It's boxed with caps and some paperwork, but I can't find the manual.

I also have a DA 18-55 that can go with it, I'm looking for £25 for the lens, boxed with hood and caps.

Both the camera and lens are in A1+ (almost mint) condition.

As the asking prices are very low, I would like to add £7.50 for RMSD for the body or body+lens together and £5.00 for the lens alone.

Payment by BT or PayPal gift (charges pre-paid)

Now sold.

I was at SRS on Friday and Chris dropped the word that this year (first for many) Pentax are showing at Focus 2011. I had a mail in this morning from Focus and they will be on stand D9, floorplan here Focus 2011 Floorplan

This is great news for Pentaxians and I'm sure that it will bring not only the faithful, but many new users too. It's great to see the increased exposure of the brand, it deserves to be.

Continuing my bag clearout, I have the following items which I used as a "easy access" day out setup with my K20D (with lenses) and DA*60-250.

Lowepro TLZ 2 Holster - This has enough space for a K20D plus DA 12-24 fitted and a DA 17-70 with hoods reversed (it just fits in the section below the body + 12-24).

Asking price is £20 including UK delivery. Payment by BT or Paypal gift










Lowepro Lens Case #2 - Ideal for the DA*60-250, DA*50-135, DA*200 or DA*300 (also the FA*200 or 300).

Asking price is £12 including UK delivery. Payment by BT or Paypal gift







With lens (not included!)




I store the foot in the top wrapped in a cloth.




I also have the Lowepro Belt and Buckle which I used in conjunction with the above, makes for very fast fitting, much easier than using your own belt, it stops your trousers from falling down! Asking price is £5 including UK delivery. Payment by BT or Paypal gift.

If all three are bought together - £32, i.e the belt is free!

Yes it is, the other two are the DA 12-24 and DA 17-70, there is still space for a set of DA Limiteds as well!

I'm having a clearout of some of my Lowepro bags which I don't use very much (we all have some don't we? :roll, as they are hardly used they are all in first class condition with no marks or tears etc.

Flipside 300 - This is one of the most practical backpacks that I've used, as my gear has grown, I now use the bigger Flipside 400.







Without and with gear (K20D + DA*60-250, DA 17-70 & DA 12-24, plus flash and other items in the inner bag, gear not included!)







Asking price is £45 including UK delivery. Payment by BT or Paypal gift.

To be run jointly by Nikon & Canon!

Suggestion from John Nevill (Silkypix UK) on upgrading.

"Quote"

I understand that ISL will be issuing US product codes to all SilkypixUK customers.

For Windows users:

In order to upgrade smoothly, I'd recommend installing the US version over the UK version but into a different folder and then regsistering with the new key.

US Silkypix should a) pick up the existing cache and b) use the sidecar file without issue, so your edits wont be lost.

However, I would flush the cache and let Silkypix rebuild it based on the existing sidecar edits, since cache indexing may go awry.

Once your happy with the transition, then manually delete the UK Silkypix folder from the program file folder. I would not recommend uninstalling (via windows) the UK version as it may impact on US install files. Dont forget to save all your UK Silkypix tastes first though!

For Mac users:

The US installer will by default overwrite Silkypix package. So there should be no issues. Again, dont forget to save all your UK Silkypix tastes first though!


Hope this is useful.
