Yea quite rare to find, k-13 with the bad attitude, at peninsula wanted $460 for just the body.

But ebay I found less than $200 with lens and limited edition black.
 

Tested the lens that came with it with Pentax k-x.

All shot at ISO 3200 with k-x.

f1,8

f2,8

f8, purposely underexposed cos handheld.

f1,8 is a bit soft, but not so bad, f2.8 gets a bit better and f8 is the sweet spot.

Ya very Lo Land. Knn, i went in, i tot I killed his father and I didn't even know it. I wonder how they survive so long, there is never any customers inside, the whole family just sits at the counter eat rice and watch tv.
 

Congrats! Time to play with fujis and kodaks:D

lol...that guy conned me to believe that his Velborn Ultra Maxi L tripod can take load of up to 4kg (specs only 2kg max) & demo to me in the shortest tripod height.
When I asked how's the stability in full length/height, he told me short already stable, longer even more stable :bsmilie:
Somemore quoted me $195 where I can get from Mr Quek at $165. ;(
Likes to talk all the way, doesn't give customer chance to ask/talk. :sweat:
Will avoid this shop next time. :(

The last time I went there, he boosted that he know the prices of all the pre-owned lens that came w/o price tags.
I also can do that leh...just throw any price.:bsmilie:

OMG, did you ended up buying it?

Actually peninsula area a lot of shops need to avoid. especially those that sell MF lens and body.

Yea so easy to focus MF lens with split screen. Plus K2 got so many hidden functions. I need to go download the manual.
