In fact, sale now withdrawn.

Thank you all for your comments. What with delays and so on with new Pentax cameras, keeping this as my spare makes sense. Just one reason I do so like this friendly and informed group.
Let me know if you change your mind.

Looks very good. Can the vignette be corrected with software?

David, thank you. The KT6 is excellent. I have paired it with standard to tele (50 to 300mm) lenses.

The above should say Ricoh’s buy out from Hoya not of Hoya!

“Rescued Pentax” might be a kind way of saying asset stripped of it's medical imaging business? If Google is to be trusted, based on revenues, the medical division is worth USD1.5-2.0bn. Ricoh’s buy out of Hoya is a different story.

Olympus has suffered a similar fate with its medical business but was already in the mirrorless sector.
