Just to let everyone know the "single kit" is also advertised elsewhere

Simon

Just got back home so an update on the items for sale.

I'd like to sell this as a "job lot" ideally, for a revised price of £830 for everything listed including RMSD. Just in case though I'm also listing individual items and prices. If within 24hrs the "job lot" hasn't sold I'll sell the items individually.. I've already had a couple of enquiries for single item sales so will give those who contacted me first option if applicable.

K5 body has 7368 shutter count. With the body are the standard supplied items: battery charger/lead, Paper manual, cables, Pentax manual on CD and Pentax software CD, Body cap.

Extra items I'll be selling with the body are:

JJC standard shutter release cable, JJC 4 in 1 remote, Yongnuo MC-20a long exposure timer, 2 x original Viewfinder covers (for long exposure shots), 2 x non-oem spare batteries.

If selling separately body and extras will be £380 including RMSD


DA17-70 supplied in original box, lens hood, as mentioned in initial post has some small internal dust specs which have no effect on image quality. Also supplied with a spare non-oen pinch cap and rear lens cap. If sold separately I'm asking for £265 including RMSD

DA 55-300 with lens hood, this is in excellent condition, hardly been used, no obvious internal dust that I can see. I'm also throwing in the Pentax S80-160 sift case for this lens. If sold as a single item I'm asking for £195 including soft case and RMSD.

All items will be supplied in original packaging. I'll happily post photos if requested but I think the descriptions cover everything and they're pretty well known items.

Any specific questions then please feel free to ask

Thanks

Simon

Sorry you were unlucky... There is a reason I take most of my photos during the winter months...the weather's better

Simon

Just to say I'll add full details of all items tomorrow afternoon... Also had a couple of queries regarding splitting which I'll be doing if there's no interest for the full kit

Simon

Having just bought a Nikon d800 I've decided that it doesn't make sense for me to have 2 systems so selling my k5 body, DA17-70 and DA 55-300 + other extras as below... Ideally like to sell this as a single transaction, everything for £890

K5 is in very good condition, just a couple of very minor scuffs on bottom where tripod has been mounted, supplied in original box etc.
DA17-70 in very good condition too, if you want to see images then most on my website were taken with it, great lens... Has a few small internal dust specks but no effect on iq
DA55-300 in very good condition too, hardly used... Both lenses supplied in original boxes.

Extras include remote control and long exposure/timer cable release, non Pentax. 2 non OEM batteries and any other bits and bobs I can dig out.. I'll update the list later as I'm not home at the moment. Also add photos and shutter count info too

Any questions please ask

Simon

Thanks John,

One thing I must add is how useful this forum has been, I've no doubt that without the help and feedback of the forum members on here over the years since starting out in 2007 my photography wouldn't have seen anywhere near the improvement I've managed, although still plenty to go yet!!

Well I've decided to stop messing around and hanging on for the will they/won't they bring out a Full Frame, just bought a D800 with the 16-35F4 lens. My plan at the moment is to keep the K5 as a travel camera although I'll see how things pan out.

The K5 is a great camera and I've been happy with my other Pentax bodies over the last 8yrs, if a Pentax Full Frame had been around 6 months ago or so then I may have well stayed with them but that didn't happen.

Simon

all items now sold

Thanks

Have a look at the "Sun Surveyor" app for Android, costs £4.39 but worth every penny, shows sun/moon path on a 3D compass with timings

Simon

...and after all that planning you arrive at the location and the weather kills the lighting, unfortunately the most critical thing in landscape photography is the one you can't do anything about
