Item Description
Pentax K-5 DSLR, in very good used condition, complete with D-BG4 battery grip and 18-55mm lens.

Full specifications can be found here: K-5 : Digital SLR Cameras | RICOH IMAGING

Pentax K-5: The camera is in excellent condition. The only things that will tell you it's not perfect are the following:

Shutter count: 55,011 (With the shutter rated to 100,000+, you'd be good!)

Between the rear display screen glass and the camera body, there's a little bit of dirt in the groove. (See photo) I've not tried to dig this out.

As is normal, with any used DSLR, there's dust in the viewfinder. This dust does not affect any photos.

Included, you will find the original packaging, charger, charger lead, a battery that holds charge well, as well as the viewfinder cover, camera manual and eye-cup. Also included, the software that came with the camera, Digital Camera Utility 4, on CD-rom. You don't need DCU 4 to use the camera, most people I know use Photoshop, Lightroom or some other utility.

Pentax DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL WR lens: The lens is as new and seldom used. I have used it from day one with a good quality UV filter attached, so the front element is pristine - as new. It comes complete with removable hood and front and rear lens caps.

Included, Pentax D-BG4 battery grip, with it's packaging and user manual. The battery grip allows the use of a second battery, or, with the optional (and included) tray, AA batteries. I found that the battery grip is useful as it allows for easy vertical shooting with the additional controls. And, most people think it looks very professional!

Fully weather sealed.

This camera is backwards compatible with nearly every Pentax K-mount lens ever made. It can, with a cheap adapter, be used with even older M42 screw-mount lenses.

I'm selling because I have upgraded to the K-1ii (thanks to Adam and PentaxForums and the raffle) so would like to buy a lens or two for the K-1.
I do have this listed on a New Zealand based auction site so I reserve the right to withdraw the camera here should it sell there.

Bizarrely, no-one has mentioned the rugby today. You'd swear there was no match on Saturday.

There was a Shame on the Goldy,but i was more intent on the Souths/Saints game.I'm advocating our government to export Rabbits seeing they were an import and no longer a popular food stuff.
I see your mate $ony NorthHead was up to his usual.Sucked up to Canon while on the paid holiday then came back and told over 100k YT subscibers(and many other viewers)that his card failed and blamed the Eos R camera.

When the correct situation was revealed $ony NRhead used a card rated @75mbs only, in a camera that requires 120mbs for 4K video capture.

I know you like his unboxing videos though!
