I can see the ad on eBay:
Snappy, oil free aperture. No fungus, haze or scratches but a little dust inside the lens that doesn't affect the pictures.

"Previous owner put his all into this lens"

"Estate sale" Widow selling entire collection to cover legal fees. Payment must be made immediately at end of auction as seller has limited time to ship. Gear was used as recently as yesterday with no problems or issues to report.

And knowing my luck at times, I'd buy this lens, mount it to my camera, look through the viewfinder, and kill over dead from shock after finding a partially burned eyeball staring back at me. And the next day my camera equipment would be up for auction on eBay, another estate sale with this lens - starting this whole scenario over again with some other poor Pentax owner.

By the way, does anyone else think this thread is perhaps getting a little morbid?

Morbid? yes maybe, but some of the brilliantly witty comments gave me a good laugh for the day, thanks

I wouldn't have missed Peter's witty post for the world. That was brilliant.
