For Sale - Sold: Pentax K-01, Pentax 40mm/2.8 XS

**Reality_Check** · 09-11-2020, 10:45 AM

Sigma 18-35 is sold as is the CarrySpeed viewfinder. . Open to offers on individual pieces.

I put this kit together thinking I would use it a lot more than I really do to capture memories of my two little girls here at home. Unfortunately, the youngest doesn't particularly like to be photographed nor video taped so she either stops what she is doing when I pull this out or she will basically attack the camera. After a couple of close calls that resulted in a few fingerprints on the front of the nice Sigma lens, I pretty much quit using it. I've ended up turning on my cell phone for video and nonchalantly recording so she can't really tell I'm recording, and this unit ends up collecting dust.

There is no 'body' cap for the K-01. I did buy this used and it has roughly 33k clicks. There is no rear cap for the 40mm/2.8 XS, neither is there a front cap. There is a filter attached to the front of the lens along with a screw-cap for the filter, though.

Shipping will be actual, and I'm fortunate to be able to use a large account from my employer so I do get good discounts with UPS. I'm guessing it will be anywhere from $15-$25 dollars to ship this UPS in the lower 48. Obviously, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, etc., will all be more costly for shipping. I will cover the PayPal 3% fee.

Please let me know if you have any questions, would like any additional pictures, or if I missed anything else!

Good grief..just noticed how messy everything is behind the camera in these pictures. My desk is half torn apart as I'm re-doing epoxy on part of the glass desk. I apologize for the mess.

Updated 12/5/2020 - dropped price & removed the microphone

2/21/21 Dropping price after selling the Carryspeed viewfinder separately.

Testing the waters with this camera. Haven't sold anything on these forums for awhile, so I have no idea on the demand.

I'd much rather sell it all together than piece-meal. I may be open to offers if this doesn't go in a timely manner. Also, if I'm way off base on what I'm asking, please let me know. I've been out of the market for awhile and tried to compare/contrast new prices along with used prices on the fleabay.

Too bad your reflexes aren't adequate to catch her as she "attacks" you.

Shutter count is 33221.

**Reality_Check** · 12-17-2020, 11:02 AM

Bump. Had someone interested and say they wanted it, but so far hasn't come to fruition.

**Reality_Check** · 01-11-2021, 10:03 PM

Monthly bump.

**Reality_Check** · 01-27-2021, 02:05 PM

Bump. Thought it might've been sold, but international shipping costs + customs fees derailed the sale. Open to offers on individual pieces (K-01, 40/2.8 lens, and CarrySpeed ViewFinder). Also included with the bundle though not pictured is a small Sigma carrying case.
