A RARE! 1980s P&S...at least he has a realistic idea of what it's worth...if it wasn't all the way down on the PA border I'd buy it...

No, that would be a 6-3000 mm. Just need a zero shifted around a bit.

Apparently this is a collector's item. It was probably meant to be kept in your car so you can take picture after an accident.

At least it is a no reserve auction that starts at a rock bottom price. I will not be bidding, though.

Seems to be a lot of overpriced Pentax gear from Japan lately.

Maybe they think there are yuppies in the US that will pay inflated prices because it is a fad or something.

Is that the thing in the fourth picture? What is that?

The second link has gone BTW (@ 1030 hrs GMT today).

Oh yeah, baby: Brand NEW Pentax HD D FA 24-70mm F2.8 ED SDM WR Lens | eBay for $9,000!
And if you enter the eBay coupon code PIXIES, you get $500 off!!

Interestingly, the ad indicates that there were 2 sold, but when you click on them out of interest, the two sales were in the order of $1,300...

The description says it comes with a charger and an EU adapter.

Wow.

Looks like I need to go back and relearn how DSLR lenses work, eh?

Perhaps this company believes the lens is just like an iPad. Doesn't need an instruction manual for it to be used - it's intuitive!
Who needs a camera when this all-in-one lens can do it all?!?
