It was a mod scooter rally in Southport, so for that weekend it was quite normal. Not one part of it was posed, I was just wondering around snapping.

Looks like I'm probably going with a new KX off of ebay from Hong Kong, unless I find a very cheep second hand 20D or K7, does antone have any experience with buying this way ?
Or are there any big warranty issues I should worry about ?

Thanks for all the help guys, I'll go and have a play and see what I get for the gear I'm offloading

Thanks for all the research, that really is above and beyond what I expected.
As far as lenses go I have plenty, incLuding the 43mm so no worries there, I'd never change systems, I've invested far too much and I love the kit I have (including 4 Z1s) it's just time I gave in to the 21st century and got a digital body.
Now the big question is do I go for the weather seals and strength of the K200D or the high ISO of the KX, because both appeal to me

To add to that lens I am also selling the LX finder FB1 & FC1, optically clean but with sime light cometic marks on the prism housing and a Mount Adapter K in its' green plastic bag with instructions, any sensible offers considered.
I hate seeing them just sit in the cupboard doing nothing when someone could be using them to capture a masterpiece.

Thanks for that, I'll have to see how much I get for the gear I'm selling off aand then take it from there

I'm finally biting the bullet and going digital, I'm hoping to have around £400-£500 to spend, theKX looks good going by the spec, but as Jessops have stopped stocking Pentax I haven't got my hands on one yet to give it a try.
Can anyone who uses one of these, or has a better idea for my money please add a comment

Which would be the 'right' camera?

I'm looking for something along the lines of the KX or similar spec, but I am open to sensible advice and offers as Jessops have stopped stocking Pentax so I'm having difficulty laying my hands on one to get the feel of it.
I've based the price on the fact that the last one went on ebay for $562, I just wanted to give serious UK Pentax fans the chance before I considered the minefields involved with ebay.

The lens is, as you rightly pointed out, K Series, the condition is very good, to be honest, I bought it years ago when I worked for Jessops and have hardly ever used it.
Photos will hopefully follow shortly.
UK postage would be included in the price.
payment by cheque or cash on collection would be prefered
