Actually sometimes these can turn out the be the best if the un-named lens turns out to be something like 50mm f/1.2 or 28mm f/2.0.and no one else is sharp-eyed enough to spot the gems.

Maybe one day. I will keep looking.

In the meantime, all I see are film era era standard lenses and zooms. Another 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6, meh.

They shut down the personals section, so I guess the pervs have to post elsewhere...but this one kind of screams "stay away unless you want to end up with your skin being worn as a suit".

I have no words for these folks .... Craigslist is just as scary now as it was when personals section was in play.

The seller probably got his yens and dollars mixed up.

On the other hand, there was this link on the page:

Pentax A* 85mm f/1.4 SMC Green Star Lens | eBay

The famed 85mm A* for a low, low price. Now I will not be able to stop thinking about it. Thanks...

Wasp · 10-13-2018, 04:38 AM

This pile of stuff is described as very old but still working. That is it, no other details. The pictures reveal that there is an MX and a 50mm f/1.7 in there. It is said to be worth about $600. Yeah right.

Wasp · 10-13-2018, 08:24 AM

Description says Pentax camera and several lenses. Sigh....

The one on the top second from right could be a Samyang/Rokinon 85mm but it is hard to tell. The one on the bottom second from left look interesting but I have no idea. On the bottom right could be a DA 18-55mm.

British Pentaxians with 400 pounds to spare might want to invesitgate. The camera is a K-30, by the way.

It might have been $600 new...Though I take exception the the "very old". All that stuff is younger than I am

I think it's a table cloth

But the photo does have that soft focus quality that aging actresses dream about...

Wasp · 10-13-2018, 12:43 PM

Oops, that 50mm is the f/1.7 not the f/1.4 as I typed originally. Apologies...

**boriscleto** · 10-14-2018, 07:32 AM

Some wonderfully blurry photos in this one...

Must be a new type of camera and lens system. 38mm, fits multiple camera mounts.

The price may be explained by the bag labeled "drugs" at upper right.
