What I mean is that the vendor seems wary of prospective buyers who have no feedback.

I have only ever bid on one lens and dropped out when it went for silly money right at the end of bidding.

i have bought directly from Forum Members and would do so again.
Send him a message and refer him to here. As the vendor has a PUF membership as well as an ebay account you can demonstrate you are genuine via your postings on the forum.

The shift lens usually sells at about £300--£350. The buy-it-now prices on ebay are often grossly inflated at around £500--£600.

The M135/3.5 about £35, same with the M50/1.7. The A100/2.8 probably about £100--£120. As others have said, the A*200 macro could go for £1000, who knows? The A24/2.8 is probably worth about £150. There isn't a K series 35/2.8 so assuming that one is an M series lens, about £40.

The K2DMD might fetch £75 if in good condition. Hard to price that one as it is one of the rarer bodies.

Hope this helps. Kris.

is the lens still available?
Try reading through the thread. My guess is the answer is no.

One of my favourite lenses, Algernon. Your version looks in lovely condition.

If you find yourself worrying about screen protectors, and worse forming opinions about which model of screen protector is better or worse, you should start questioning why you're into the photography game in the first place.
This is perhaps one of the most meaningless, pointless and arrogant comments I have seen on this forum, and over the years I have seen a few.

Being the sort of person who stuffs as much stuff into my camera bag as possible (which I know I shouldn't do) I now have a fairly substantial scratched patch on my K20D's screen from a long car journey where something was rubbing where it shouldn't. If I had fitted my £1 sticky screen protector (as my wife made me do for the K10D) all would be well. As it is, it isn't.

As with many things (clear filters, battery grips, tripods...) it depends so much on the person using the equipment. Some of us are extremely accident prone and kit gets damaged in use and therefore a few proactive measures are worth it. If, however, you're the sort of person who never drops things, has accidents or otherwise causes anything to suffer in use, please feel to save yourselves a quid or two.

My K10D just had one of those sticky see-through plastic sheets on it. When it gets mucky, just peel it off and stick on another. When I get around to replacing the K20D, the second thing I'll do is put one of those on. (The first is fit a katzeye focusing screen.)

I didn't see your previous post, davem, or I would have said something!

I wish I'd put a screen protector on my K20D as I had my K10D. Something in my camera bag was rubbing against the screen one time, and I now have an annoying and quite major mark on the screen which will undoubtedly impact resale value

Alternatively you could try Alan Marlow. He has done a few repairs for me, and is certainly considerably faster than JPS. Perhaps worth getting a quote from both of them?
