Yeah, I think I got it about a zillion years ago for something under $700. The K5 has been "well loved" and would probably be listed by KEH as "fair" or maybe even "BGN" (or even UGLY - don't know!). The 16-50 is as good as it ever was, though, so I'll poke around a bit and see - perhaps starting with the local shoppe is a good start, saving all the hassle of shipping and whatnot.
In other news - I've missed this list! Perhaps I'll stick around a bit. :-) On Fri, Jan 6, 2017 at 10:40 AM, P. J.
