In 2011, I passed on a sale that was listed in an online classified (Kijiji). I spotted the listing almost as soon as it went online. The seller was located about a three-hour car drive from me, I was free for the day, and the listing gave their telephone number so I could have snapped it up. I looked up the lenses in our database. I hemmed and hawed for a few minutes, then decided not to chase it. After stewing on the deal for a while, I decided later in the day to buy the items. Of course, they were already gone.
The lenses?
SMC Pentax 55mm f/2
SMC Pentax 50mm f/1.4
SMC Pentax 200mm f/2.5
and...
SMC Pentax 28mm f/2 (yes,
that one)
The asking price? CAD $150 for the lot. (USD $120 at the time).
