For Sale - Sold: Fs: K2, K 50/1.4, M 50/1.4

The following are for sale. I will try to post pics tomorrow.

Pentax K2 camera body - the flagship K-series model, with aperture-priority autoexposure, DOF-preview, and self timer. It is in very good condition, with only minor scuffing on the top and bottom plates. The light meter works great, and it comes with brand new batteries. I have just installed brand new light seals and mirror foam, so this camera is ready to shoot. A very beautiful, classic camera. $100 + shipping PRICE REDUCED

K 50mm f/1.4 - An absolutely gorgeous example, with perfect glass. The barrel has no brassing whatsoever. This lens looks like it has never been used. $95 + shipping SOLD

M 50mm f/1.4 - Another beautiful lens, in perfect condition all around. Looks brand new. $95 + shipping SOLD

oh I really want that K2, but I don't have the funds at the moment.

Here are pics of the K2. The lenses are sold. (thanks Frank and Jim!) The scuffs are much more noticeable in the photos than they are "in the flesh". But since I wouldn't expect you to take me at me word, I will entertain offers.

Excellent deal on a great Pentax body.
Someone buy this!

Is the view finder going to be as bright as the K10D? I know it's going to be much bigger, but what about brightness? I haven't shot film in so long... when I pulled out my old Nikon N6006 (hardly of the same class as the K2, I know) I was surprised at how dim the view finder was in comparison to the K10D.

Tempting!

Put me in line, Finn.

Sorry, I'm one of those poor souls without a K10D. I haven't moved up from the K100D because whenever I've run into the money to upgrade I've spent it on LBA instead! Whenever I use the K2, thought, I am always very impressed with the viewfinder compared to that on the K100D. I know that doesn't exactly answer the question, but it's the best I can do.

Though I appreciate the price drop, I unfortunately still can't afford it, I just purchased two lenses so even that 100 dollars is too much. I know that K2 is worth at least that much so I wouldn't want you to loose any money on the deal.

OK, you've all convinced me. I'm keeping this puppy. Maybe I'll list it again in another fit of LBA purging.
