I'm getting ready to make the leap to full frame, so I have to bid a tearful goodbye to my Pentax equipment. It's served me well, but the prospect of the high ISO performance, big viewfinder, and awesome autofocus of a Nikon D700 has enticed me away. I'm especially sad to see the FA* 85 go, as it's truly the best lens I've ever used, but I must move on.
Here's what's for sale. I'd prefer to sell within the United States for now, but if anything fails to sell within the next few days I'll probably open it up worldwide.
Pentax K20D for
$510 shipped (SALE PENDING) - this camera is in excellent shape. 4581 shutter count (potentially a couple more if people have questions about other items for sale here and I need to take pictures). It works wonderfully and the body is mint. The only signs of use are some slight scuffing on the hotshoe from normal use, and some unavoidable dirt in the viewfinder. Comes with battery (that lasts at least 500+ shots, so it's still good), charger, video cable, USB cable, strap, body cap, viewfinder cover thingy, manual, and original box. Almost all of the original packaging is intact. Pictures at

Pentax DA 35 f/2.8 Limited macro for
$425 shipped - this Limited lens is in near mint condition. The only flaw are some small nicks on the metal lens cap from dropping the cap once or twice. Comes with original box, caps, and manual. The box is slightly torn but structurally sound. It works perfectly mechanically and optically. Pictures at

Pentax FA* 85 f/1.4 for $1000 shipped - this is perhaps the sharpest lens ever made, and perfect for portraiture. My copy unfortunately is missing box, manual, etc, and does not have the original lens caps. It does come with the original hood. Body shows significant signs of wear on the outer silver finish, but is absolutely perfect mechanically and optically. Truly a gem of a lens.

Pentax DA 18-55 for $40 shipped - in nearly perfect condition since I quickly gravitated towards using primes. This is the original kit lens and comes in the original box, with caps, hood, and manual. Pictures at Photography by Lu Nelson/albums.lunelson.com/2009/2009-08-23 Goodbye Pentax.

Pentax AF-540FGZ flash for $200 shipped - this would be in perfect condition but for one unfortunate problem. The locking lever on the bottom has somehow become loose, such that you have to hold up on it while sliding the flash into the hotshoe or else the locking pin gets in the way. After you get it into the hotshoe it locks in fine, and it works flawlessly. It's a minor annoyance but an annoyance nonetheless. I think I close it too tightly on its plastic base and damaged some plastic (I later saw a warning in the manual not to do this). Comes with original box, case, and aforementioned plastic stand.

(SOLD!)
Pentax D-L150 battery for $15 shipped - genuine Pentax battery, just a few months old. I recently shot a wedding and this guy went 850 shots, with the battery gauge showing half full, so it's definitely in good shape. Comes in original box with cap.
