Selling my 15mm Ltd as part of my purge on kit that I'm not using very much.
The lens comes with the original pouch and front rear caps but alas I am unable to put my hands on the box therefore am selling as unboxed.

Having recently upgraded to a K5 IIs, it’s time to wave a fond farewell to my K5 (body only)
Originally bought from Park Cameras as part of a kit the sale includes the body boxed in original box, original Pentax battery, original unused Pentax strap, charger, instruction book and disc. In truth I’ve not had the time to use the camera as much as I should which is why the shutter count is showing a lean 1883, yes that’s 1883 only. The camera is now boxed up and ready to go so no further shutter activations will take place.
Overall the camera is in very good condition with just a couple of minor marks, one just to the right of the on/off switch and one on the bottom edge rear. These marks do not stop way stop the camera functioning in the way that it should.

i found the DA*16-50 to be the equal of the DA21 and DA40 at their focal lengths, the DA70 i found i hardly used but i have kept the DA15 because for me it has "something", when i know what it is i will let you know.
I know very well what you mean about the 15mm, it's my favourite, but.......

Thanks all, there certainly is some good advice here, much for me to ponder, Jonathan-Mac makes a good point in so far as being lazy is a bad excuse to buy a zoom! He's right.

I can't keep the primes and buy a zoom, not with the K5 IIs on order anyway.

Oh decisions, decisions.............

I've been quite happy using my small clutch of Ltd lenses 15,21,40,70...
recently though I've been getting lazy and have been thinking about selling the 15,21&40 in favour of the D*16-50mm 2.8.

But I've no experience of the 16-50....If it makes a difference I'm shooting with a K5 with a K5IIs on order.

Any advice gratefully received............Thanks.

Thought I'd repost the pic at 800, it looks much better than the original squished version that I posted.

Thanks for the comments, they're appreciated.

I found the K5 really easy to operate although I'm sure that I've only just scratched the surface of its capability.

I'm also wondering wether I should weld the 15mm on the front as a permanent addition:

Good to see your first Pentax image posted here Neil, and you picked a good one.

You can size them up to 800 long on the longest side, on this site - they don't have to be quite as compact as you've made this one.
Thanks, I did see it was a wee bit on the compact side, I thought I'd copied at 800...Oh well back to the drawing board.
