Re: With heavy heart, I'm selling my best lens...

It is with a heavy heart that I must say I cannot afford this lens, 
really mean that.  I hope you find it a good home.

is so handy to use. It is in mint condition, optically, cosmetically
and mechanically as it has gotten little use from me.

The PK/A has two strikes against it. It is probably the rarest mount
for this lens out there and also the highest in demand. Thus, it will
cost you more than the Vivitar Series 1 version of the Bokina (which
is also MUCH heavier) but similar in optical qualities.

I discovered that it was also an outstanding Astrophotography lens
when I photographed Comet Lovejoy with it, back in 2015:

My no-dicker bottom dollar on this lens is $650, which includes free
insured shipping to the Continental U.S. I'd like to see it go to a
good home, thus offering it to PDML first.
