Craigslist $200 S-M-C Takumar 500/4.5 Lorton Va

For those looking to get into a long telephoto, this seems like a reasonable price:
Ashanti Pentax camera lenz

Too far for me to get this weekend, and unfortunately I owe taxes this year instead of the other way around. I was tempted to take the day off. Act fast if you live close, D.C. Craigslist moves quickly. Confirmed with seller that it is the s-m-c takumar 500mm/4.5 Hope someone further south can pick it up and show me what it can do! At least worth checking out

"Ashanti"?

southy · 03-13-2009, 07:27 AM

heh, you'd be surprised what my search filters are set to

ashani asnani asham; some of those lens rings are hard to read if you don't do anything with photography

those are usually the best deals.

Yup. I've seen "Pentex" and Pentext" too!

They must really have had Ashanti on the mind YouTube - Ashanti - Foolish (Best Quality)

As a personal rule for CL...if the seller can't post in the right section nor give info on the product nor communicate in regular language, I'll pass up the deal. From what I saw...that ad is 0 for 3

They did not even manage to spell lens correctly, how could we expect a correct spelling for Asahi?

I prefer to think these are just spellchecker's guesses... I know it's usually not so... But....

Well.

  hey, it's only 20-o dollars, what a deal.

Ya, exactly. It is 20-o. Find a lawyer/law student, pay him $100 to present your case to the seller and get the lens for 20-o. This deal is even better than what is advertized

I am driving down there with my lawyer - he he
