Originally posted by Aslyfox I received my newest acquisition today, a like new SMC Pentax-DA 40mm F2.8 XS complete with press on lens cover and rear cap from a forum member.
he treated me right and I maintained by record of not paying the initial prices. I beat him down and saved 50 cents. [ don't tell him but I would have settled for 25 cents off.
20 minutes after receiving it, I was at the Topeka Zoological Park trying it out, here are some of the results all shot through glass windows of the enclosures.
1 the male Borneo Orangutan
2 one of the three female Sumatran tiger cubs
3 the lions.
Very nice sharp shots especially through glass. #2 especially maintained good contrast and vibrance.
I have it on good authority the seller of this lens started the selling price $1 higher than he would have accepted
, but he said the buyer is a super nice guy and he's happy the lens will be used and loved.
Ahem.
