No overlap between my list of lenses for sale and the one Bill recently posted. No price competition here! Bill is selling APS-C lenses, I am still working through which of those I may keep. But I have some other redundancies/duplicates I need to move out.
In equipping my 645Z system I started by purchasing some A and some FA lenses. I later decided that FA was the way to go. So I have 3 645 A lenses. In addition, in preparing for the K-1 I bought a 2nd FA* 24/2.0 and a second FA 77u/1.8 Limited. Back story on the 24/2 and 77/1.8 at the bottom of this message. Lenses and suggested prices below. Contact me if you would like to discuss further. 645 A 45/2.8 $125 645 A 150/3.5 $150 645 A 200/4.0 $75 PK FA* 24/2.0 $350 or $300 PK FA 77 /1.8 Limited $650 or $600 PK D FA 100/2.8 macro (not the WR newer version) $275 Sigma DG 150-500/5-6.3 $550 Backstory on the 24/2.0. I had one, sold it when I bought my first D-SLR, the *ist-D. I missed the lens, bought another (used copy.) I have never been wild about the feel of the focus ring, and it seemed way too large and intimidating so I barely used it. Mark S. recently offered, and I purchased, his 24mm. Comparing my old, his newer, they are about the same. Neither seems all that “large and intimidating” after using 645 gear the last 1.5 years, the focus feels ok on both. $350 for Mark’s, or $300 for my older one. Backstory on the 77/1.8. I bought my original direct from Japan back during the early production when the black colored versions were not being imported to the States. Tried to sell it a couple of years ago as part of an effort to finance the 645Z purchase. The buyer (Ecke on this list at the time) did a careful inspection on arrival and spotted incipient fungus. So he got his money back, I got the lens back and stashed it away. I recently noticed a repair service that had very mixed reviews, but figured what the hey. I sent them the lens for cleaning. It now looks and feels like new. But meanwhile I spotted a nice champagne color 77/1.8 on eBay for a reasonable price. I don’t need both. I would just as soon keep my original black (repaired) version but if anyone wants to save a few bucks it is $600. Otherwise the newer Mint champagne version would be $650. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
