Pentax K-1 Mark II Full Frame Wi-Fi 4K HD DSLR Camera & FA 28-105mm Lens Kit 27075300040 | eBay

Sounds ideal for me personally - especially as I don't even own a tripod and an up-to- date flash. Most of the other bits such as extra battery & remote control I would need to buy anyway...

So what's the catch?

Obviously the customs and the resultant delays and duty might take the edge of the bargain...

Yes - I saw that - doesn't inspire confidence does it?

Well, the interval movies are, the normal videos aren't.

Thanks - I didn't even know about 'interval shooting' but your message made me go to the manual (which I had downloaded to drool over). Does thet equate to 'Time Lapse' photography?

Yep, and it's 4k so the seller isn't lying, but he's misleading and there are grounds for complaining to the Ebay admins.

Note that the lens is advertised as "FA 28-105 mm", so the kit might actually include one of the out-of-production FA 28-105mm (worth $90-$190 that were produced in the late 1990s and early 2000s), rather than the new DFA 28-105mm ($508), despite the fact that the latter is shown in the photos. The extras are all worthless and will fall apart in no time. The filter is most probably not multi-coated.

Further down in the listing, it does actually say "Included with the camera body is the HD PENTAX-D FA 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6 ED DC WR lens"...
