Well, the last of my sales of Pentax gear were dispatched during this week, including the K7 and the DA* 16-50 lens. Every item exceeded the price I'd have been happy with and the star over-performer was a Sigma 2x Teleconverter that I thought would go for 20GBP and went for 120. I've got enough in the bank to get all of the Fuji gear I'd targeted so am a happy boy.
I took a bit of a gamble on the 16-50. Its SDM motor was broken and I decided to have it repaired on the basis that I'd clear more for a working one with 6 months' warranty than selling a broken one. I think I did OK out of it, with a "profit" of around 260GBP. So, I'm left with a selection of manual lenses and some film bodies which I'll keep for ever - 2 MXes, one of which I inherited from my dad, a PZ1 and an ZX-5N. Oh, and an ME-F with that one-off auto focus lens; a real museum piece. I'll stick around here of course - in fact I'm meeting Bob W and Cotty today for a trip to the Henri Lartigue - Bibi exhibition and a bit of a Fuji-fest. I'll make sure I take a Pentax lens along...
