I love the fact that he shows two pictures of it - both sides. When you spend that sort of money you need to be sure it is all good

Another "Practitax" listing - does ANYONE still know how to READ (the brand name on the camera!) , and then correctly WRITE (what they "read"!) nowadays!

But it says 'Pentacon' on the lens, so therefore it must be Pentax.

Pentax SLR Camera & zoom lenses, Flash, camera bag, Loft Find Job Lot | eBay

'Job Lot' - job to sell it, I think they mean. Description is good too. Even at a tenth of the price, not worth it.

The 10D is a camera from an awkward transition period for Canon, but it is actually a really nice camera to use. I would take it 8 days a week over an original digital Rebel, despite it’s lens mount limitations.

I wonder what Jessops have got to do with it. They can't copy the word "Vivitar" off the front of the lens either.
