Well, that's it everyone, it's all SOLD. My thanks to everyone who bought items or emailed me with interest. Everyone was great to deal with and who knows, I may rejoin the Pentax family again. My wish continues to be that their products grow and prosper.
Best regards,

I’m bailing. I love Pentax and the system is great as far as it goes but I’ve recently gone to a dual platform approach due to the lack of super-telephoto lenses for Pentax.
I went with the Nikon D300 and the Sigma 300-800 plus the Nikkor 16-85, 70-200 f/2.8, 200-400 f/4 and the 24mm PC-E. With my K20D and glass, I’ve had the best of both worlds for the last two months but now that Nikon is launching a mid-priced FX with the D700, the handwriting is on the wall. I really want FX/DX flexibility and two cameras that will take all my glass so…I’m offering up my entire Pentax system, in pieces or in total, to the group here first before taking it out to eBay buyers and camera retailers.
All equipment is in MINT condition and comes with original boxes, manuals, lens hoods and caps, cases (if originally supplied) and I am pricing it all to move, as I’m looking to buy the D700 and a couple of FX compatible wide angle/macro lenses ASAP.
The glass has no scratches of any kind and everything is 4-10 months old. I have no problem taking something back if you find a defect but I am certain you won’t as again, it’s all sparsely used and in excellent+ condition.
I’ve really enjoyed these forums since joining the Pentax family last November and have learned a lot from many of you. Therefore, I am leaving this post in the forum exclusively, for 10 DAYS. After that, I’ll be exploring eBay and other avenues to sell whatever is remaining. I truly hope that Pentax will, over time, increase their excellent line of glass and maybe introduce an FX camera down the road. However, my photography needs are moving too fast to wait and so, as I stated above…I’m bailing.
