Comment by samdcoates posted on FS: Pentax K5 body, low shutter count of 4419 at 14/08/2013 - 00:00
Along with the K5 body listed in another post I'm also reluctantly parting with a number of lenses I've accumulated over the years. More details, photos and prices below.
In each case payment is by bank transfer, paypal gift or collection from central London (W1), although I'm happy to accept paypal standard payment if buyer helps to cover off fees. All lenses will be sent well packaged by insured signed delivery, so I'm asking for postage costs of £8 per lens to help cover costs (unless buyer wants to take multiple items).
Feel free to PM me with any queries. Without further ado:
Sigma 10-20mm DC EX f4-5.6
Extremely sharp ultra wide zoom in great condition. This is the japanese version, not the more recent HSM version. Reviews tend to favour this one for IQ, although I may be a little biased
Sold with original box, hood, and lens caps. Looking for £250 plus postage.
Tamron SP AF 90mm f2.8 DI macro 1:1
A highly regarded 1:1 macro lens in absolute mint condition. The lens has literally been out of the box only a handful of times, and is as new with faultless optics and functionality. Selling in original box with all original contents. Worth noting for those unfamiliar with the lens that it has both auto and manual aperture settings, so can easily be used with macro tubes.
Asking for £260 plus postage
Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 asph LD XR DiII SP (bit of a mouthful!)
Fantastic condition sharp zoom lens with a fixed F2.8 aperture. No visible dust that I can see, and the lens comes with original hood and lens caps - sadly the original box is nowhere to be seen, however it will be well packaged in a similar container.
Looking for £190 plus postage
and finally,
Pentax DA 18-250mm f3.5-6.3 telephoto lens
Probably the most useful lens in my bag, and considering the zoom range I've always been very impressed by the IQ and sharpness from this one. Though still in very good mechanical condition it does show signs of use and (as usual with lenses of this sort) if you carry it around without the zoom lock on it will have lens creep. It comes boxed with hood and lens caps. I think the front lens cap might be a third party one, but it fits perfectly nonetheless.
Looking for around £210 plus postage o.n.o.
The Sigma 10-20mm:




The tamron 90mm f2.8 macro




The tamron 17-50mm f2.8


and finally the Pentax DA 18-250mm



just realised I also have a remote shutter cable going - £4 including postage if anyone wants it!

It's unfortunately time for me to say a fond farewell to several nice Pentax items I've accumulated over the years, so first up is my Pentax K5. The shutter count is low at 4419 and the camera is in very good condition, with just a couple of minor marks, one on the bottom of the camera and a tiny mark on the front right near the on/off switch. Neither of these affect the camera in any way, but I think it's only fair to mention.
Included in the sale is the K5 body, boxed, with instruction booklet, battery, strap, charger and software. I've even got the viewfinder cover!
I'm looking for £380 plus £10 to split postage costs (insured signed delivery). Payment by bank transfer, paypal gift, or on collection from central London (W1) preferably. I don't mind accepting standard paypal payment if the buyer helps to cover fees.
Feel free to PM me with any questions, I can happily send over more pics or sample images. I the meantime I'll put up another post with the various lenses I've got for sale.
Thanks,
Sam


I realised I hadn't included the manual in the first pic, so please see below!

Exacta now up on eBay, dropping the price of the 28mm to £35 inc RMSD. Reasonable offers considered.
Thanks,
Sam

Having a bit of a clearout of some lenses I don't use, up for sale are the following:
- Sigma mini wide II 28mm f2.8
A lovely little lens, finding I just don't use it enough to justify keeping it these days. Optics are clear, no fungus, minimal dust. Please note the lens has a tamron filter (skylight I believe, will check exactly what it is) which seems pretty tightly screwed on. I've had no cause or need to remove it as there's no dust between it and the lens, but worth flagging as I'm not sure quite how tightly it's fixed on. On the plus side, free filter with the lens
I paid just shy of £40 for it, so looking for £35 + £4 postage. Will send out by RMSD.
- Declicked Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm f2.8 EXACTA MOUNT
Bit of a random one, the declicked aperture makes it ideal for filming and the optics are great, but maybe a bit niche due to the exacta mount. Thought I'd list it here anyway, otherwise it'll be up on ebay. Quality is v good given the age, focusing and aperture rings move smoothly, minimal dust. Please note that at first glance the aperture blades look shiny in places - this is not oil, just where the matte aperture blades have become shiny with use.
Looking for £25 ono including postage.
