Pentax A* 1200 on Austin Craigslist

**ChipB** · 03-12-2012, 10:55 AM

As the title says - I have NO idea who's selling this - I have NO skin in the game - just passing on the info.

Pentax Camera Lens

Nice of you to pass that along. No price listed....hmmm.....

No Price? 1200mm Filter? Maybe for the Hubble. I would use a throw away email address before responding to this.

You know what they say: if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it...

So it does, that's what I get for using a pad instead of a real computer

In defense of the others, I am the one that missed it. The header is not shown the same way on the pad I was using as it is on my computer. Nonetheless, about 5/9th's the price listed on the database for the lens.

THat would make for some nice moon shots.

and half the price of an FA* 600 f4 with a 2XTC

Nice lens but hella hard to use well

I'm not sure but I don't think the price was there the first time I looked. Wahtever - there now.

I would not buy this except if I could go to Austin in person and hold the lens before I part with any money at all. The two first pictures are of an A* 600mm f5.6 lens on tripod and with aluminium case, the other two of an actual A* 1200mm f8. Serious seller?
