FS: Pentax K-5 with DA* 50-135mm ƒ/2.8, optional grip
Item 1: Pentax K-5 with 50-135mm
The grip is optional.
I currently don't want to split the K-5 from the 50-135mm lens.
The 50-135 lens is SCREWDRIVE ONLY. The SDM mechanism does not function and is disabled. I consider this to be a positive selling point. All Pentax DA* 50-135mm lenses are designed to support screwdrive, and operate with screwdrive on older bodies. This lens is programmed to operate with screwdrive on newer bodies too. Operation is fast, quick, smooth, and reliable. No lack of functionality or responsiveness is lost, though screwdrive is a bit louder in operation compared to SDM.
The combo is priced to account for the lens.
The K-5 is excellent, fewer than 7000 actuations. Includes original box and original accessories. No known problems, works fantastic, great camera.
The 50-135 includes hood and caps. As mentioned above, the lens operates with screwdrive only. This lens is in good condition, having been used as my favorite Pentax lens for some time now. It breaks my heart to move on. It takes wonderfully detailed, sharp photos, with classic Pentax colors and contrast. I love it.
The grip is shown for illustration. Original Pentax grip with accessory box. Includes both types of battery tray, but no extra battery. Buy the grip with the K-5 and 50-135 for 1200, shipped and paypaled. Otherwise, after the body and lens sells then I'll put the grip up individually.
In general, I'm not looking to trade. However, I may trade for a Canon 6D.
