This is confirmation of the shutter count, as anticipated much less than the 15000 I conservatively quoted.

Here's a pic of the sky at f/32 to show the sensor dust/debris...

...just to clarify, the lines are telephone wires!
On taking that shot, I realised there is also fine dust in the viewfinder. Not apparent in normal shooting, but visible on a blank sky. Here is a phone shot through the viewfinder to give you an idea...

I have looked after the camera during ownership. The issues, I have pointed out are due to hastily changing to a telephoto lens in my car, whilst the blower was on...lesson learned! Thanks for looking 🙂

The sensor needs a clean, and there is a tiny black speck in the viewfinder. Again, I will demonstrate the sensor, with an image tomorrow.
Asking £770 including RMSD.
Next I have a mint, boxed Samyang 14mm f/2.8.
Asking for £185 including RMSD.
Thanks for looking 🙂

A bit late, but just to say that my package arrived very well wrapped, and in double quick time.
Thanks Neil

It's an f4.5 lens, at a time when most budget 70-200 lenses were f5.6 at the long end. I recall using mine on Z-series bodies (Z-10, Z-20 and Z-1p) with no AF issues.... Doesn't matter that the screw drive AF makes it;s presence felt as the Z-1p shutter could be heard 10 miles down the road.
MF is possible by the very narrow non-rubber bit at the front of the lens, but I rarely had to use it.

Is the Tokina an autofocus lens. ?

I'm going wow at the Tokina 70-210 f4.5. It's the all glass verson isn't it? I had one before I 'upgraded' to the Sigma 70-300 APO Macro, about 23 years ago...
Great lightweight lens for someone.

Love the avatar.
Now if that was still a feature of tv, it would probably be the only intelligent and interesting thing worth watching!!!
