They are lovable cameras. Every so often I think about one.

Three more big camera bags to the local hospice charity shop. And I have a couple of box-type cases ready to go the next time I head that way and have a free hand, one an attache case and the other a small metal flight box. People keep sending me the things when I buy job lots, and I really don't want to mess around selling them!

I gifted my k-50 to my grandpa.
He has definitely fun with it but I'm sure it's condemned to auto mode from now on ^^ we'll see

Yesterday I sold three of the lenses I have for sale to a guy who'd bought a great condition K3 for just €150!!! The 35-80mm kit lens that came with a Z70 I got recently, the M 80-200 f/4.5 that came with the K2 and K 28/2 a couple of weeks ago and an RMC Tokina 135mm f/2.8. The only one I wasn't sure about was the Tokina as it's the second best 135mm I've ever used but the best is the K f/2.5 and I'm keeping that plus the M 120mm f/2.8. I haven't used the Tokina for a few years and I still have a copy in SR mount that I can use on my Fujifilm cameras if I fancy.

I love my Sigma 17-50/2.8 and 18-300 enough that I put my Pentax HD DA 16-85WR up on eBay. Sold it this morning for nearly what I paid two years back here on the forum. On its way to Colorado. Now, when my K-3 set finds a new home....

Recently sold a Sigma 50-500 and 50/1.4. Then I sold a few model kits I have laying around.

**Mooncatt** · 05-04-2021, 04:56 PM

A while back in this thread I mentioned debating selling either my 35mm or 100mm macro lenses. I just want to say thanks to those that pressed me not to do so. I started a side project of doing 1-lens outings and my images with the 100mm macro last weekend came out fantastic. I'm still editing, but will post them later when I have time.

I'll be working through the other lenses, with a goal of forcing myself to work within their limits to see which ones I may want l want to keep or sell (or just keep all of them, lol).

Do you find the 17-50 giving you any significant CA's in a lot of images? I can often see purple and/or green fringing.

My copy seems relatively free of CA. The cooler blues and greens Sigma lenses all deliver are what I notice.

I've never noticed them in shots from my copy.

My Sigma 17-50/2.8 is the final version DC EX HSM Contemporary. Really fine optic.

My K3 & DBG-5 sold on Ebay this morning for $50 more (+$20 shipping) than I had it listed here on the Marketplace. Lots a tire kicker here, but just like my DA*60-250 and another lens, eBay for the sale. I honestly am shocked that because I took photos of the camera showing the mirror box open and also covered, people thought I stared the camera that way and it would be full of dust! I’ve sold over a dozen cameras over the past decade, all photographed the same way and the K-3 listing is the only time that stupid assumption was voiced! A potential buyer on Marketplace and two on eBay. Ugh.

I've sold a number of items on the Marketplace here. Almost always end up with an odd tirekicker or hem and hawer that wants me to hold it then decides not to get it. Or the 1 post guy that makes me apprehensive.

That said, to those I've sold it's been hassle free thus far. Just got to watch yourself.

Ebay is the same way. Maybe more scams there actually. Especially since the rules tend to favor the buyer more than the seller.
