I just sold my Sigma 150-500 so now my longest lens is my DA*300 (not counting that cheap M42 400mm on my shelf), in short, I want this one! Not that expensive for what it is either.

I googled and a Nikon Ais was sold in Sweden really cheap, would have been nice for mirrorless shooters.

Blackcloudbrew on Pentaxforums.com wrote that it reset the shutter count. Indeed it does and my shutter count now is only 21, no wonder it feels like a new camera!

Well, I got small hands but I've never had any problem with the SD-slot. My computer on the other hand sometimes hold on to the card very hard and only gives me about 2mm to grip on to.

It does seem curious that the FA35 appears all of a sudden after what 2 or 3 years? They also have the FA50 at a good price and all of the FA Limiteds in stock.
So if a FF35mm DSLR is magically announced the line up would currently be:

FA31 f/1.8
FA35 f/2.0
FA43 f/1.9
FA50 f/1.4
DA*55 f/1.4
FA77 f/1.8
DA*200 f/2.8
DA*300 f/4

DFA50 f/2.8 Macro
DFA100 f/2.8 Macro

+ some highly probable FF, DA(L)35 f/2.4 & DA(L)50 f/1.8 and also the DA*60-250 f/4

That makes 10 plus a few probables. They need a 24mm to complete the primes and really really need a couple of FF zooms. Rerun of the FA*s 28-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8? or would they be exorbitantly expensive to manufacture?
Also DA40 Limited!

My brother recently bought one that looked like that from UK on Ebay and it turned out to be really fake. The backside specs actually describes a UV-filter instead and the filter says "Pixel" and not Kenko. I can ask him what the seller was called.

I'm very interested for that price if you ship to Sweden but I can't PM you yet.
