I suppose two questions, really.
Is this at all a desirable lens? I'm kind of off my if it says Pentax
I have to have it kick, so I'm not on auto buy mode.
As I already have a couple of 100mm macro lenses, including the most
excellent DFA 100/2.8 macro, I'm not especially interested in this
lens no matter what.
However, others may not be as fortunate as I am, and may decide this
is a desirable lens, so...
My pusher has an M100/4 Macro lens on his shelf. It appears to be in
very good condition for a lens that has to be pushing 30 or more years
old. There are some dust specks in thew thing, a couple of which are
on the largish side, and one of the specks may be a bubble. However
the aperture runs smoothly, and stops down smartly when the lever is
moved, and the focus is smooth and well damped, so I think I am
looking at a lens that was well cared for. It certainly isn't showing
anything other than what I would expect from a three decade old lens.
The price tag is one hundred Canadian dollars, plus, I expect, five
percent GST. While I don't want the thing myself, I am more than
willing to enable a third party into this lens, presuming said person
is willing to make the leap of faith involved in buying a sight unseen
used lens.
If I have piqued anyone's interest, please reply off list. I wil
figure out what the shipping costs are and give you an number that you
will need to send me via PayPal to make the transaction happen.
Best

warning - a very large percentage of the m100 f4 macro lenses have
fogging around the perimeter of the glass elements, be sure to check it
carefully.
