Good to hear.
Originally posted by AyaSora And need to figure out the lens size to put a filter on the end. bigger than the 55's I have for my K1000 lenses or the 52's I have for my K5, is there a 57 or 59? Hmm.
Above 55mm common filter size are 58mm (native filter size for 18-50 and 55-300 PLM), and 62mm (native filter size for 18-250, 18-135, 70-300...).
You can use a larger filter on a lens needing a smaller one thanks to a step-up filter, but you won't be able to mount neither lens cap nor hood.
Reverse is, in theory, possible (with step-down filters), but it will probably result in strong vignetting or defects at corners.

Agreed, a very good deal!
Originally posted by AyaSora it has a Pentax 28-80 (1:3.5-5.6) lens on it but it's not what would have came with it- the body is all black but this lens is not.
The lens kit for the K200D was the 18-55 II (I think), much more recent than the film, full frame 28-80, so yes, you are right. The 28-80 you have must be this one:
SMC Pentax-FA 28-80mm F3.5-5.6 Reviews - FA Zoom Lenses - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database a honest, but not stellar lens.
Originally posted by AyaSora How would you clean it if there is dust/pollen on the sensor? It's not raining yet so I am picking up some batteries shortly and will get it outside.
Buy dedicated sensor cleaning swabs, sized for APS-C sensor. You can use them to "paint" on the sensor and gather dust. A specialized magnifying glass for sensor (€20) is helpful, but not mandatory.
