Parting gifts!

[Tom Lusk]

Well, gang, it's time for me to move on.

I've gradually rid myself of most of my Pentax gear, having made the move to Nikon. I'll not bash Pentax. Nikon just suits my needs better at the present time.

I've got my trusty FA*300 listed on eBay:

SCARCE SMC PENTAX FA*300 F4.5 IF & ED - eBay (item 230304384590 end time Nov-05-08 18:00:00 PST)

As a going away gift, I'll be giving away a couple of M42 lenses.

Whoever guesses the closest to the final sale price will get:

1) A Sigma 1:4.5 f:70-210mm, multi-coated, Made in Japan lens.

2) A Gemini 1:4.5 f:80-205mm,, Zoom/C-Macro, Made in Japan lens.

3) Any other odds and sods I find kicking around. You never know - might be something good!

Both are in EX shape, and I'll pay the shipping, too.

Furthermore - if someone guesses the EXACT sale price, I'll donate $25.00 to Pentax Forums.com

I hope you'll have fun with this!

Just for the curiosity. What are your needs that Pentax can't fulfill, but Nikon can?

[vievetrick]

I have no clue but will guess anyway. $1197.50

[Peter Zack]

Good luck Tom. Hope the lens sells high and I sent you a PM.

[per]

My guess : 1205$

[felix68]

I will be a bit more conservative... $950.52

[bdery]

I hope your Nikon suits you and you have fun with it...

My guess : 1050$.

[serendipity]

What a lovely gesture Good luck with your new set up
I might have a guess later, is it open to non USA members?

Bid is sitting at $560.00 now.

No-one going to take $560.00?

I really don't expect to get into the $1000. range.

Maybe $650

[Tom Lusk]

I just found an almost-new-in-box Auto-Chinon 1.9/50 to add to the haul!

Here's the only photo I can remember taking with this lens:

Thinking about this lens, we were bidding on Fa* 300mm f4.5 2 years ago on ebay.

All the best with the future.

[ftpaddict]

[Nowhere Matt]

Oh, we are playing a different game, then ay?

My guess shall be $570
