I am selling off a lot of my Pentax gear & thought I’d offer it up here first.
I’ll be listing all on the bay in the next 24hrs, as I have a £1 selling fee offer (probably at slightly higher prices!)

I’ll be taking some photos later, so let me know if you are interested & I’ll try & get them on here.
All items are in excellent condition, there may be the odd spec of dust in the lenses, but nothing you wouldn’t expect in a used zoom lens, I look after my gear as best I can.

Prices are including postage to UK only please & I accept bank transfer or paypal if you pay the fees.
I’ve not sold on here before (although I have bought), but I have 100% on my ebay account (stevo564).


Pentax K5II body (boxed inc all accessories + 2x spare DTSE batteries). 11,082 shutter count & pretty near mint. £285

DTSE pattern battery grip (boxed inc 1 battery) £30

SMC Pentax DA 50mm f1.8 (boxed inc screw on metal hood) £60

SMC Pentax DA 55-300mm f4-5.8 ED (boxed inc pouch case) £125

Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical [IF] Macro (boxed & believed K1 compatible) £200

Tamron SP AF 70-200mm f2.8 Di [IF] Macro (boxed inc case, UV filter & believed K1 compatible) £375

Kenko 1.4x DG teleplus converter (not HSM, but works well with the Tamron 70-200) £45

Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3 APO DG OS (boxed inc case & believed K1 compatible) £420

Sigma EX 10-20mm f3.5 DC HSM constant aperture version (boxed inc Sigma case) £200

Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4.5 DC (not boxed, but inc Sigma case) few specs of internal dust, but nothing that shows on pics & shows a little more signs of use, but glass is fine £110

I’ve noted the lenses that I think are full frame K1 compatible, but please correct me if you think I am wrong.

As I say, these are going up on ebay with BIN prices by end of Monday 19th, so please let me know if you are interested asap, thanks.

Steve

I have used a recently acquired Kenko Teleplus DG 1.4X MC4 with mine & neither the iq or focusing seem to suffer much, I'd say it was still a touch better (and faster) than the Pentax 55-300mm, though I've not done any direct comparisons. I'd be interested to know what it's like with a 2X TC.

They are also doing the premium 200x class 10 16gb version for the same price, but didn't have them listed with free delivery which is £1.51 for basic delivery.
I ordered 3 and it took the delivery off the total!
This may be because I'm an existing customer, I don't know.

Even with delivery, that's a great deal.

Thanks for positive comments about the RJ from jinfinance, I have placed an order for it.

Looking forward to getting some wildlife pics/video with the 150-500mm.
Stills are going to be tricky I'm sure, but some of the videos I've seen look very good.

I've bought a few smaller bits from China before (under £18 limit) without problem, but got caught for VAT on a slightly larger item once, but still worked out cheaper.

Thanks again

Thanks sebas, it looks like he's the only seller of the RJ version then, I don't suppose you remember how long it took to come do you?

I know the aperture ring isn't great, but if I'm correct, I think DA lenses will only work at min. aperture without it.

I think its pot luck with customs & depends on the price declared by the seller, If you do get caught for VAT its not usually a big deal until the P.O. charge is added, then it can be dearer than buying from a UK seller, but looks like there is not much choice for this item.

Thanks again

I too have recently picked up a Q with 02 lens from SRS & would like to get a K mount adaptor. (Loving the camera by the way!)

My question is, has anybody found a UK seller of the adaptor with both aperture ring & tripod foot?

I have searched all the usual places (eBay, Amazon etc) but only found it being sold by jinfinance from China (about £30).

Has anybody bought one from him? If so, how long did it take to arrive? & did you get clobbered with import VAT?

I don't mind the £6 VAT so much, it's the £8 the P.O. charge on top to collect it from you that bugs me!

Thanks in advance
