Why do you insist on metal bodies and use a lens with toy build quality? Now the plastic fantastic is known as a lens which does not last, it even has a plastic mount.

Actually I don't. I just haven't gotten around to selling them yet, and they're worth so little I'm not sure that they're even worth selling. I bought them. on sale, as first lens buys back when I was using the K-30.

Sell them if you don't use them or never will is my motto.

All these cameras are disposable anyhow

You're budget is apparently larger than mine.

No I seriously doubt it, I live on very little money and have all the photo gear I need. I'm also a bargain hunter for new gear and buy used gear, for example, my DA* 60-250 f4 cost me £359 from a camera shop with 1 year warranty and it is a great copy. A new one costs around £1000 more!

I do need a dew heater and battery pack though, I'll sell something to buy this.
