The shipping is 10 times the cost of the item.

Wow.

Just love the item description - obfuscation through verbosity.

Since it says it on the box, it must be what's inside :

At least the seller describes all the defects.

Interesting camera kit, though. It was made by Ricoh.

Which is why I have a saved search. I've seen them come up for less than $50 with just the 50/2.8 but I still hesitate to pull the trigger for some reason. Usually because the person selling it doesn't have a clue if it works.

Besides the KX there is a Program Plus with an A zoom and a ZX L with an FA zoom.

Pooh, at £299 that one is almost free. I'll raise it to £325 with no extras except a case :-

Serviced Pentax K1000 35mm Film SLR Camera Pentax 50mm F/1.7 SMC Lens+Case/strap | eBay

That has been on Ebay for some weeks. It has quite a few watchers, including me. I'm watching for the entertainment, and I guess the others are too.

Wasp · 03-02-2020, 11:48 AM

How about a K5 (mark one) with 18-55 kit zoom for just under $500? That sort of money will also buy a brand new Canon EOS 4000D twin lens kit. Another day, another clueless seller. Sigh...

Except, even at that price I'd pick the K5. From Canon EOS 4000D Review | Trusted Reviews :-

Quote:

It’s hard to recommend the 4000D over other entry-level cameras, aside from the fact that it’s available for a cheap price
