The K30 nearly always fetches more than £200, often nearer to £300. Whoever got it for £206.55p (plus a free ME Super) can easily resell it for a profit properly listed.

The other good pickup I had was on Gumtree, I got a Pentax K 28mm f2 with original case for £90, that was a very good bargain.


The Clarky jamminess strikes again...

It went for £206.55p in the end. There are a couple listed for between £300 and £400 BIN, £450 seems way over the top.

I bid on it but not enough!

I hadn't heard anything about Fujichrome ending production?

Did anyone here win the K30 with an ME Super attached to it on ebay this morning?

Provided it is a nice example it is a lovely lens perfectly compatible with both the KX and the K-x. For the latter you'll need to use stop down metering.

I think it is probably swings and roundabouts, and when you take into consideration sample variation life gets a bit difficult. I have the subjective impression that my M 200 f/4 is better than my K 200 f/4, and my K 135 f/2.5 is better than the M 135 f/3.5. Of course, some K series lenses never had an M equivalent (28 shift, 30/2.8, 50/1.2, 135/2.5, 200/2.5 etc.).

Sorry. I posted a link to the NYT version of the story which was equally ignored!

My first mentor was the photographer on the excavations at Wroxeter by the name of Sidney Renow. Lovely chap who used Minolta cameras. I was often his unofficial helper on site.
