Just joking. I don't think I'll want to try my luck with the tray missing and further potential faults.

Have tried 5 M Browns in the local listings. Two are no longer in service, two were not the seller, and one has a message left to contact me.

I have just got in from 5 hours of travel - yes it looks suspiciously like fungi spots.

He's found the tray now, and the filters - so we are down to - does the zoom work, and does the front element have fungi on it.

Have a look at the new photos and express an opinion

Good he's found the filter holder and filters. In other news - I see quite a few want the 17mm: Pentax SMC 17mm F4 fisheye lens. | Trade Me
