For Sale - Sold: Pentax DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited, Helios-44K-4 58mm f/2

deadwolfbones · 05-28-2017, 03:35 PM

Hi all,

For sale are my last two Pentax lenses. Sad day!

First up is the Pentax DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited, which is one of the very first Pentax lenses I ever bought. This one has seen a lot of use, but it's never been dropped or mishandled and it's never shown the slightest hiccup. It has always produced great images. The glass is clean and clear on both ends, but the body has significant wear and paint marks. This doesn't affect operation in the slightest, of course, but if you like your gear to look pristine, this is not the lens for you! Includes the original metal front cap and a push-on plastic rear cap. Asking $250 shipped CONUS, payment via PayPal.

Next up is a beautiful copy of the Helios-44K-4 58mm f/2. This is a gorgeous portrait/normal lens made in the Soviet Union. Unlike many Helios-44 variants, this one is native K-mount--no adapters required! It's in great shape with clean glass, minimal dust, and just a tiiiiiny bit of handling-type paint wear on the ridged body parts. Focus is smooth, and the aperture ring clicks as you'd expect. Includes the original plastic push-on front cap with the Zenit logo, as well as the matching original screw-on rear cap. You can see some of my photos with this lens here. Asking $60 shipped CONUS, payment via PayPal.

Please PM with any questions!

Is that lens one of the ones with the swirly bokeh?

Yes it is!

I'm interested in your 35mm macro as a birthday gift for my fiancé. Is shipping included in your price? If not, could you message me about how much it would be to ship to the Florida Panhandle?
