I have a DA 40mm somewhere (with fungus) if you are interested.

It may be dried lubrication in the focusing helicoid.

Very nice “snaps”. I have the non-tripod collar version. You have reminded me I need to use it more

Steve, this is a fair summation and some items did sell here, so not a total washout. In the end, people will only buy what they need.

Hmmmm... I did look at the list and concluded that it covered essentially the same ground as my basic kit so of no interest to me. So I wonder whether part of the reason for this equipment not selling on here is because what was for sale is a good, general purpose kit. That's a positive comment about the kit, it's the sort of thing that anyone can do a lot of good stuff with. But by the same reasoning, it's the sort of thing that many, if not most, of us on this forum will probably already have. And if we don't, there's probably a reason. Doesn't mean that there aren't people 'out there' who wouldn't be interested, but they aren't necessarily looking at this forum - it certainly isn't the case that every Pentax user ('Pentaxian') is a member of Pentaxuser.

John, thank you. A two lens kit for (long distance) travel is actually a good idea. The 24-135 was unknown to me - an online search suggests it is heavy but the spec looks very good.

I prefer one lens for day trips and walking hence looking at the 28mm+ options and being a cheapskate by having lenses in the 28-90 range already.
