Quoting Charles Robinson <[email protected]>:
I got this lens with a used ME Super about 6 years ago.
I realize today as I'm sorting through my goodies that I don't ever use it.
When I got it, it had a damaged filter ring and a loose focus collar
which I had to fix by removing the front ring (I don't remember what
that part is called - the part that encircles the front of the lens
and says SMC Pentax 1:1.4/50). I had to put a couple of holes in
the face of that part so I could unscrew it through the damaged
threads.
Well - in any case, the optics are good and it works fine, but I'm
trying to determine if it has any value at all to anyone so I can
put it on the market. KEH would probably call it 'ugly' because it
is. Looks ugly but it works perfectly!
Hard to describe.. here's a 2.1MB iPhone photo of the front:

Anyways.. is this worth anything? Or do I throw it back in a drawer
to be ignored for another 4 years?
There is a market for fast fiftys. I sold a K50 1.4 last year for
$80. I don't think you'd get that for one in the cosmetic condition
you describe, but if it's good optically and mechanically, I'm sure
someone would buy it.
