I have the Pentax K5II-s & the K3. I am trading in my K5 for the new K3II that was just released. You can't go wrong with Pentax! St. Charles, Mi.

I have a Pentax K5 IIs (body only)for sale. Camera is in excellent shape & working order. I have all original packaging. Shutter count is 8,112 with last photo taken 4/18/2015. Date of manufacture is 9/29/2012. Reason for selling is I plan to upgrade to the new Pentax K3 II.

I am asking $500.00 for this camera. Includes battery, charger etc. If interested I'm located in Michigan. Buyer pays for shipping. I can also e-mail or Fax a copy of the shutter count printed from last photo taken. I have no photos at this time, just made decision to up grade this morning. I can take photos if needed.

I used to ride bike at 8 yrs old to local creek to fish catch frogs, coming home in time for dinner. Now your a bad parent if you let your kids live without constant supervision. Seems Dems say Republicans want to take away your rights, what do you call it when they think government is answer to everything & will tell you how to live, eat & play the way they think you should.

Do you know where Avery lake is? Have several friends there.

Great photo but that is a "Male" American Kestrel! Females are much less colorful!

21 out of 25, should have done better than that!

That does not appear to be a Golden Eagle to me?

I have a similar set of photos from last winter. Overcast with flurries coming down. You photos are very good.

the battle


eagle vs red-tailed hawk

Nice photo, always pays to get up with the sun! I get out to the park once each year. I'm part of the Eagle banding crew that bands the nest there. Nice area.

Hello from St. charles Mi! I shoot both the new Pentax K3 & Pentax K-5II-s. I seem do do just fine with these bodies. Canon & Nikon owners just write us off!

Anyway welcome to the site.

To see many of my photos google "mibirdingnetwork. Go to sightings, backyard birding, or photos & scroll down looking for Kim LeBlanc as the poster. Will give you an idea of what Pentax is capabile of doing.

How can they respond, everything Jeff said is a fact.

What do you mean "Nobody cares about this nonsense"? We all should, it just shows just how corupt this president & all who work for him are. this is just one of many lies he has told. You don't have to be right or left to see that. There is not a day that goes by that he hasn't lied to the American public about something.

Remember reading the book Fahrenheit 451, start with live news control, then you go from there to decide what we read. Obama believes government should dictate EVERYTHING about your life, but him and all the politicians will be exempt & live high & mighty just like the communist dictators do at the expense of the working class. How can people (even those on the take) want to live in a country that was not founded on these principles. You may have no problem with government running every thing in your life but I do!

Mikey,

Finally got out with the K-3! It is a little different than the K5IIs, a little bit of a learning curve. got it figured out now, it is a great camera! Hope you like yours as well! There are some good deals out there so shop around!

Mike,

I have taken limited photos with the K5II-s, but it is a great camera. This will be my backup camera now that I have the K-3. There are a few things I have to learn with this camera but I'm sure it will be great. The first real test will come later in the week with the K-3. Only shots have been through the living room window!
Sure you don't want to replace your K5 with mine plus a K7 as a backup? $600.00 plus shipping and you have a great camera + a backup! You would think the K5 is brand new! The K7 is in great shape. Both are in original box with everything that came with the camera. The K5 charger, & cables are in original packaging. I used battery charger for K7.
