FS: Pentax K10D and 31mm f1.8 limited
Posted: Fri Apr 02, 2010 1:27 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00
Offered here before evil bay just in case there is interest, something to fund my Apo Sironar S...
Pentax K10D digital body, owned from new, good condition cosmetically but with some light signs of wear, in original box with lens cap, software disc, leads, manual, battery charger etc. Less than 5000 shutter clicks. They typically go for 150 quid or so, offered here for £125 including recorded delivery postage to the UK.
Second, something much rarer. The Pentax FA 1.8 31mm limited lens for Pentax digital in silver. This is one of the nicest digital lenses I have ever seen, and it gets great reviews. It's fast and sharp and lovely. It has been called one of the three greatest prime lenses ever: that might be hyperbole, but it _is_ really good. See the following links for more:

I have used it a fair bit and there is a dent on the (metal) lens cap. The front surface could use a clean, but there are no scratches or chips on the optics anywhere and the rear is mint. These go for around eight hundred quid new (more if you look in the wrong place), and come up very rarely second hand: a mint s/h example went for 800 bucks recently. This isn't mint so say £450 pounds included insured postage?
Drop me a message if you are interested or want to see pictures. I'll leave it a week or so then put it up on the big bad auction site. If you want both by any chance, I'll do the body plus lens for £535, which coincidentally is what a mint Apo Sironar S 180mm cost me.
