Some images of the camera and lenses



















The nibbles on the viewfinder



And the scratch on the screen. Tilted to the light so it would show up.

If it's cloud storage you're looking for I find Dropbox pretty useful. It's drag and drop on my desktop and you can leave it uploading. Limited space can be an issue but if you can recommend a few people then you get your limit increased.

Not as sure if you are after the social aspect of Flickr. :

Incidentally if anyone is interested in setting up Dropbox and getting an extra 500MB I can refer you

Hi there

Continuing the clear out, for sale is my K5.

In excellent condition and full working order (I do like to look after my kit).

Details and what's included:
- Original box, battery, charger etc
- Just over 10,000 clicks

Looking for £300 plus RMSD. Happy to meet up in person if anyone is around central London or Wimbledon.

Thanks for looking.

Hi there

Time to clear out the old equipment and realistically I am not using this anymore. Still slightly attached to it as it was my first SLR (and God bless the guy in Jacobs digital who recommended it above the Nikon D90 I was looking at...)

Anyway, I would describe it as good condition. 2 minor points are a surface scratch on the screen (which is invisible once the screen is on) and some nibbling at the corners of the rubber eyepiece. I keep good care of my kit though (clean after use etc).

Details and what's included:
- Original box, battery, charger etc
- Extra non OEM battery
- Split focussing screen (helpful for the old manual lenses or macro)
- Just over 12,000 clicks
- D-Xenon 18-55 and 50-200 lenses (same as the Pentax kit lenses but with fetching blue trim )

I should have the original focussing screen somewhere as well.

This would be a good kit for someone starting in DSLR photography or maybe if someone wanted to convert a camera to infrared.

Looking for £170 plus RMSD. Happy to meet up in person if anyone is around central London or Wimbledon.

A link to some photos taken with the camera.

And a link to some very early photos with the lenses as well

Thanks for looking.

Good Lord! Some of them are breathtakingly good (the rest are just incredibly good ). A lot of HDR style processing but very effective.

Wish I could visit all those places. I'm sure I could take photos just as good...

I bought a secondhand one for a safari on the basis I would sell it afterwards...

... 3 years later and I still own it. I store it next to my hens teeth.

Thanks for the Optech tip, Mike - looks like a great bag. For £15ish it may be worth getting one for light/medium travelling.

However, the Ltd lens case compactness seems ideal for tucking in your bag when walking around a city. I've seen the lensbaby case which seems fairly compact but slightly bulkier:

I just know that once I settle for an alternative they will release the case properly in the uk

Hi there

Just wondering if anyone has one of the Pentax Ltd lens cases laying around which they aren't using (the one that fits a few DA ltds). Finding one to buy new seems impossible.

Alternatively, if someone has found something similar then I'm open to suggestions.

Cheers

I suspect they've applied a mild Gaussian blur to background.
