I may be being paranoid but my 43mm Ltd seems to have developed a rattle. The aperture ring is slightly loose and can be wiggled back and forth (by which I mean towards the mount and the front) by a little bit. Is this normal?

Thanks, Kris.

Thanks for the suggestion but I have had look at those measurements and the lens will be too big.

No worries. It is just gathering dust at home.

Best wishes, Kris.

Personally I love the one of the couple in the barley. Very poignant.

I suspect it may have more to do with the low value of Sterling currently, as the lenses sold don't have DA equivalents.

The prices that caught my attention were these:

A24/2.8 £190
A28/2 £340



I'm almost tempted flog some A lenses myself before people come to their senses (or the pound rises in value)

Perhaps a bit of both as two of the four do have DA* equivalents but they didn't go for as much as the two without. The sterling dollar rate has definitely swung back in our favour as my lady love keeps reminding me...

If you use advanced search and look for completed listing by that seller you can get the details.

The price hikes in new Pentax glass seem to be having a big knock on effect on older class glass.

Ahhh, you got a silver one. SRS only had black when I bought mine!

Good luck with the sale. K.

I bought my K10D in the US with no problems. If you can get it mail order from one state to the next you can save sales tax.
