Its just a K1000 there now - looks shabby and internals seem to look like the shutter curtains may have an issue. Bitsteep at £99 for a K1000 with no lens and dubious condition.

At least the listing states that it' "Canon fit" - but, as you said "which one"??

Well you can easily assume it's not FL/FD...

It's a DG lens, so it's not APS-C only...The concern I would have is that the seller misidentified a SA mount as EF...

It looks sharp but there's no way they're getting $1400 for that.

I put an offer in for $5. Declined automatically. Then $10 with a note telling him to lower his expectations. Declined.

Why do people only state the lens will fit certain models, when it has standard K-mount ?
Probably because they don't know what they're looking at and are basing their assumptions off of what the lens was attached to and what the previous owner said they used the lens on.

No, that's not the same seller, that's what's offered by Ebay as an alternative. This is the re-listing - exactly the same :

Barn door?

Looks more like the door to an armory.

Around here barns and their doors are made from wood.

It says : There are not any big dents and scratches at the body.

Only small dents then?

I guess the camera is on the other side of the door, and he has forgotten the combination. So a photo of the door is the next best thing

I just offered $35 for the repainted with small dents camera. Also told the seller it was no longer a collector’s piece sine it was repainted, and painted over small dents. They rejected my offer.

Forget thorium lenses - this one's contaminated !

And I think f1.4 is a little overoptimistic.
