    Price Check: Pentax K-50 w/ 18-55mm and 55-300mm lenses

    I purchased a K-50 bundle a while back, and whilst it's a damned good camera for a newbie, I have really struggled to get into photography and no longer wish to use it. I am wondering what price I might get for the bundle as I bought it (which was at the time around £550 IIRC), or if I would get more selling the 300mm lens separately.

    That's the bundle I bought, although it's not for sale any more.

    It's in very good condition, I still have the boxes and all included cables, etc. Extra items are a PNY 64GB 100MB/s SD card and a longer neoprene strap (the default one irritated my neck). It has taken around 5200 pictures. Lenses are scratch free as far as my eyes can tell.

    I've seen them vary on eBay from £180-220 (without the 300mm lens) and £60-70 for the 300mm lens, so is a combined price around £240-260 reasonable?

    I would say yes. Give it a go and see what happens. Since you have all the accessories and everything has been taken care of, I'd say you have a good chance of getting your estimate.

    isn't a Pentax 300mm f/4 over a grand?
