There is one on eBay right now:

Pentax SMC 105mm 2.8 K lens in Mint Condition, Rare on eBay.ca (item 300336843692 end time 14-Aug-09 21:08:46 EDT)

the bids are already more than what I paid for mine and there are four more days to go...

Cheers,

Luc

If the K-mount version appears to be too expensive, I would like to recommend to buy the S-M-C 105mm f/2.8 Takumar. Same lens, different external finish, easier to use on our Pentaxes because of the closed aperture metering (impossible with K-mount lenses).

Thanks Luc.

I am bidding on this item at the moment. I already have an A 100/2.8 macro so I'm not going to chase this one up much higher.

Well looking at the fierceness of the bid, I am almost tempted to put mine on sale and get a K135/2.5 instead as I am finding that the 105mm is pretty close to the 85mm in FOV.

Cheers,

Yes, the bidding is getting out of control.

Someone clearly wants this lens a lot more than I do. I'll bid on yours if you put in up for sale. I clearly don't need the K 105/2.8 but what's need got to do with it.

Yes you will find a bigger difference with the FOV with the K135/2.5.

K85/1.8 - 29 degrees
K105/2.8 - 23 degrees
K120/2.8 - 21 degrees
K135/2.5 or 3.5 - 18 degrees
K150/4.0 - 17 degrees
K200/2.5 or 4.0 - 12 degrees

Phil.

Well, I read that the 30mm F2.8 was a very interesting lens....
Oh and that the 35mm F3.5 was one the sharpest....

Cheers,

I have the 30/2.8 and it's my favorite wide angle...a little more rare so it'll cost more, but I think it is well worth it. You'll love the k85 and the 105...great lenses!

*smc* · 08-10-2009, 08:56 PM

Took the kids to the Sidney (BC) Aquarium....first time there. Smallish but well worth the trip. It's all local sea life from around Vancouver island.

K85/1.8 with my K-7....and I missed the left side a little.....oops

I see these once in a while here....and you sure don't want to bump into one while swimming....they defend themselves with a nasty sting....

*smc* · 08-10-2009, 09:22 PM

And another....k85/1.8 again

I am looking for one at a "reasonnable" price.

The last couple from the trip.....still the k85 (was the only lens I brought with me)

*8540tomg* · 08-22-2009, 10:40 AM

Haven't posted much in the K club of late. Went for a walk with the K 200/2.5 today. Nothing special other than having some time to use my favourite lens and enjoy the day.

Stumbled across a duck resting.

That's a great shot, Tom. That K 200 2.5 really has some sharpitude.

It's one of the lenses I have a low-key search constantly going for, mainly because of your shots!

*morfic* · 08-23-2009, 08:54 PM

Hehe, sharptitude, his shot is nice though.
