Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

I’m hoping the Pentax FLU Card, Ricoh XR-10, Rikenon 70-210 compact, Phoenix 19-35, Pentax Refconverter A, Pentax cable switch F, Vivitar 283, Vivitar Macro Focusing 2X PKA converter and the Kiron MC7 2X converter I have listed on the Forum Marketplace sell. A whole bunch of like new stuff that I will never use. Plus, I just bought four eBay lots of various Pentax gear, so I need some room.

Five old camera cases, none especially nice, donated to the nearest charity shop. I get them occasionally when I buy old cameras and lenses, unless they're really good they're not worth the hassle of trying to sell them.

Pentikonian · 12-04-2019, 08:45 PM

Donated some clothing that no longer fits, and some kitchen gear I no longer use.

Have a lot more "stuff" I need to sort through.

**mattb123** · 12-04-2019, 10:17 PM

Sold my Tamron 70-200 to another forum member.

timb64 · 12-05-2019, 04:24 PM

Sold my K5ii to offset the purchase of a KP.

**ThomSirveaux** · 12-05-2019, 05:13 PM

Aaaaand I just sold my Sigma Art 18-35 f1.8

It'll be a sad day when I take it to the Post Office, but considering my family is having a massive (and I believe the term FUBAR applies, here) string of the absolute worst luck, it'll be nice to have a little more cash in the bank.

I am trying to sell my Sigma 30mm f1.4 EX. While I love the Sigma 50 1.4 EX DG, the 30 1.4 never bonded with me and its use as a crop prime that can only be used on digital cameras is very limiting on its use.

Well the Cable Switch F and FLU Card are on their way to new homes.

Now if my eBay stuff would go. Pentax Program Plus with MEII winder & M28/2.8, Super Program Parts lot, Vivitar 28/2.5 M42 and an HO scale PRR M1 brass boiler with details. Lots of tire kickers.

**steamloco76** · 12-13-2019, 01:19 AM

I’ve received two excellent condition Vivitar 2X Tele Converters in eBay lots which are too nice to scrap. Clean as a whistle.
Never do I use a 2X TC with my vintage lenses.
Offering them for free on Marketplace, just pay $10 postage for the pair.

Latest acquisition is the DFA 24-70.

The latest de-acquisition is going to be the DA35/2.4, Panagor 28mm f2 (great lens, prety much underated IMO), and the fungy vivitar 24mm f2 (a bit overrated i think).

I did! I wanted WR for stuff like mountain bike races. All the other cool features are pretty nice to have too.

Arrrgh. The Program Plus bundle attracted dozens of followers but only one bid, the minimum $19.95. Talk about someone getting a massive bargain. There is a minimum bid on the Vivitar 28 too.
I also sold a mint Rikenon P 28/2.8 for $40. It is going home to Japan for $24 shipping.

Ricoh KR-10, Nikkor ED 300/2.8 with multiple issues, two Vivitar 135/1.8 in Nikon F mount needing aperture mechanisms, and two Nikkor ED AF F2.8 zooms with blown circuit boards and dead AF gone on eBay. For Repair Nikon gear is easy to sell.

**Gorgarath** · 12-25-2019, 06:30 PM

My latest de-acquisition is the Gemini 28mm f/2.8 that was supposedly a K-mount but wasn't. Did a return request and don't even have to pay return shipping, so that's great, especially since I was expecting it to be a live-and-learn situation of paying more attention to the pictures than to the description. Still waiting to hear back on my broken Vivitar 28-70 that I picked up. Guessing it was probably broken in shipping as the seller says it was working when he sent it. But it's been over a week since I've heard from him, so I'll be escalating it up to eBay soon. (Broken in shipping seems likely since they decided to simply mail it in a bubble envelope instead of properly packaging it. The Gemini came this way as well, but it survived in perfect shape. I'm shipping it back in an actual box, safely wrapped up, instead.)

Latest is the DA 40 limited (since I also have the 43 limited), but I will buy it again at some point.
