FS: Pentax SMC-M 35mm f/2.0 lens

2004-07-30 Thread Joe Wilensky
I finally, finally found an A series 35mm f/2 lens on eBay, so I'm 
putting my M series one up for sale.

I originally purchased it in bargain condition from KEH, which as 
usual means the glass is beautiful and there's only a bit of visible 
external wear on the sharp edges of the lens barrel (aperture ring, 
etc.). Includes front and rear caps. A beautiful compact lens that 
gives you all the speed you need for available light shooting!

$125 plus shipping.

I re-homed my A28/2 and A35/2 lenses after I purchased my 31LTD, even though I 
really enjoyed shooting with both of them. The 31 is a superb performer but it 
is a bit large when you are used to the A35/2 but I don't really miss it like I 
do the A28/2.

Interesting.  Maybe I got a really good deal.
I got my A35/2 on eBay a couple of months ago bundled with the M75-150 for 
$165.
I got to compare (C41) the K30/2.8 & A35/2 @ "The Jake" last weekend
and on a brother's farm in Wisconsin the week before.

The regular 4x6 prints from both were better than the F50/1.7 (which is not 
a bad
lens at all.  But the K30 & A35/2 were noticeably sharper in the center and
equivalent @ the edges.  Of course the A100/2.8 is always outstanding.

The M75-150 is a bit of an anomaly.  It seems to perform well at some lengths
and apertures and very poorly at others.  I'm going to have to put it through
the wringer and see how it is generally across the spectrum.

Gore and blimey, now I really feel bad about being poor. That used to be my 
favorite lens when I had one. You don't often find one at this price. I wish...
