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.

We all have to deal with tyre kickers occasionally - that's just how life goes sometimes. Just put it down to experience and move on to something more important......works for me.

Pentax A 28mm 2.8....gave it to a friend who wanted a 28 prime. She seems happy with it so I'm glad it'll be used instead of being a dust-collector. I could never get used to the short focus throw

one DA L 55-300mm zoom.....

now to replace it....

Just sold my old collection of Choose Your Own Adventure books. Couldnt believe I still had them but they are in a good home now. Up next has got to be my HD 15 Ltd....finally tired of trying to get used to it. Too good of a lens to just sit in permanent storage

My X-T20 and kit lenses. Just not using it. Unsure why I never bonded with it.

A gx7 lost the µ43 supremacy battle with an eM1 Classic, and then lost to a KP as complement to the eM1.
It was sent to a dealer for an 18-50re and future draft picks, so the KP can now safely reach wider targets in foul weather.

The red lens in my left rear assembly. Stopped an inch closer to the fence than I planned ... Got all the pieces, and I'll see if I can glue them up solid enough to brace with transparent packing tape. No cost to try.

Had to send back the EM5 classic I bought, the shutter wasn't working properly and would expose black frames rather often. Got an EM5 II on the way though!

I am trying hard to get inspired here and let go of a few unused items. Inertia is a pain.

Oh man, I wouldn't get rid of those books! Too many fond memories.

I definitely have fond memories of them but figured they should belong to someone who will read them instead of just sitting in a box in my house.

Two camera straps (a Pentax & Nikon). I wasn't using 'em so I'd rather let someone have em & put 'em to good use instead of just me having 'em collecting dust.

I just parted with my trusty Mindshift Gear rotation180 backpack. I never thought I'd do that, but the company came up with a version 2 which improved on almost all the comments I made on my review of version 1. So I got the V2 (expect a review eventually!)
