Pentax K5 with 16-50mm DA* f2.8 lens, 2x 16GB SD cards, remote, spare battery and Lowepro case. ?

I am reluctantly selling this Pentax K5 camera, 16-50mm f2.8 lens and accompanying accessories in order to free up money. I have owned the camera from new and have taken very good care of it. When not in use, it has spent its life inside the LowePro Inverse 100 AW which is part of this listing. The camera can be supplied, if required, with its original box, manual and proof of purchase. A warranty repair was required on the camera while I owned it due to a faulty flash-release button; I have the documentation to show this and the sensor cleaning which was done at the same time. The 16-50mm lens was bought second-hand from an owner in the USA. It had previously had problems with its autofocus motor and had this component replaced, I believe I also possess the documentation covering this. The lens has lain unused for some months and it seems that currently the autofocus motor is reluctant to activate when first attached to the camera - a couple of twists of the manual focus ring will rectify this and it behaves impeccably thereafter. **Update - I have tested it further and its performance was flawless, but I want to be sure the buyer is aware that this has happened** The other accessories being supplied are an official Pentax weatherproof remote, the battery charger, an official Pentax spare battery and a pair of 16GB Silicon Power SDHC cards. In total this kit is all that is required to get started taking very high quality pictures immediately. The final 2 pictures shown are both photos taken with this camera and lens - the photo of the forget-me-nots was taken a few weeks ago and the photo of the cat was taken today to verify that everything remains in working order. I recommend that a prospective buyer collects the items in person, so that they can inspect everything for themselves and also so that I can provide them with the accompanying boxes and manuals without incurring a heavy shipping cost.
