Hi!

1. K-5:

I'm the second owner having bought it from a fellow from PentaxForums.
It comes with magnifying eye cap and that special Canon eeS focusing
screen that has been shimmed to correct position. The screen has no
marks whatsoever (except some dust and machining marks on the borders).
The focus pop is very good and I could use it with A 50/1.2. The problem
is that my eyes still tire too fast for me to make it comfortable. Also
this screen, unlike the stock one is more sensitive to the lens speed.
If you mostly shoot with kit lenses or slow lenses, I wouldn't recommend
you buy the camera, because the viewfinder will look rather dark.

Shutter count is approx 10K.

Cosmetically it is in very good shape with few exceptions:

1. I have applied the rear screen protective film having discovered that
the frames of my glasses scratches it. Nothing major but the rear screen
is not 100% clean of scratches. Looked at it few times - couldn't find
any dust beneath the screen though...

2. There is very minor bit of plastic (3 x 2 mm) that chipped off
approximate 1 cm to the left from the HDMI/PC AV/DC IN cover. I will
photograph it and provide the picture on demand.

I will include the original focusing screen. I will try to find the
original eyepiece. I may have no suitable camera strap for it but I will
look too. The original box is there.

Asking USD 625 which includes shipping and paypal fees. I will ship it
by EMS insured at full value.

Oh, and by the way the little plastic piece that covers the flash shoe
is in place :-).

2. FA 20/2.8. Recently it had a focus jam, that was fully repaired by
Pentax Israel. They replaced some parts in the mechanism and now it
operates as it used to - with slight change of resistance towards 0.4
mark on the focusing ring. I took few shots with it after the repairs
and AF is both fast and accurate. The repairs are covered by half a year
warranty by Pentax Israel. I am not certain if it can be claimed abroad.

Full review of this very lens is here:

Please contact me off-list.

Thanks.

Boris
