this is a very good lens indeed but you must make sure it is the SMC version. There is a non-SMC version which is also good optically, but does not have the same build quality, is much more common and is much cheaper to buy. > . SMC Pentax A Series 24-50 F4 Zoom [$90 BGN and $115 EX at KEH.] this is nothing special. A better wide zoom to aim for is the M 24-35/3.5 which is first class. The list collectively frowns on people posting auction listings. If someone has spotted something they want to bid on they are not best pleased if someone else, especially a non-bidder, lets potential competition know about it.
