Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

Hi,

I have a pretty unusual question for Pentaxians in Denmark !

I am from Montreal Canada, and a friend of mine is living for 3 years in Copenhague. She came in Mtl for the holidays to visit familly and friends and we talked a bit about photography. She didn't have a camera but liked to go take some pictures ( with her cell phone ) of the city. I let her go back in Denmark with my K50 that i don't use anymore, but without a lense. I don't have a cheap regular zoom a could let go

My question is : Somebody have a cheap 18-55 dal or da , or even an older regular zoom ( with autofocus) that she would buy you ?
Where do you guys find your used or new Pentax gear in Copenhague ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Cheers from Montreal

Hi! I'm not from Denmark, just trying to help you and your friend. First, I would suggest the marketplace here, on pentaxforums, there are european sellers from time to time, worth setting up a few keywords for the lenses you want to buy. Also there's a closed facebook group "the pentaxians" with lots of european members (I need the new member's email or facebook to be able to add him/her to the group - you can contact me in a PM if you want), also there's a Pentax / Ricoh exchange group (public): Pentax Ricoh Exchange Group Public Group | Facebook

I found a website selling Pentax gear but it's rather expensive. The cheapest Pentax lenses were the 35/2.4 and 50/1.8, but they're expensive compared to other European countries.

DA 35/2.4 lens €180

Pentax 35mm f/2,4 AL - www.fotoc.dk

DA 50/1.8 lens €135

Pentax 50mm f/1,8 SMC DA - www.fotoc.dk

I also found an old flickr thread discussing photography shops in Copenhagen. Some of them may no longer exist, some may have new or used lenses that your friend could try out.

Hello,

Njalfoto (https://www.njalfoto.dk) is Pentax specialist, the store is located in Amager, not far from the center (just over the bridge from townsquare)

If she want to buy used, go to www.dba.dk (a site owend by eBay)
I live in Denmark and i think I have some old manual lenses she can get cheap to start out with, but she will need to pay for shipping since i live in Aarhus

Thanks everybody, i will look closely at the links and advice you have given me here,

Cheers !
