Pentax DA* 16-50 Price dropped

PentaxForums.com Marketplace Listing

Item for Sale
Pentax DA* 16-50

Asking Price
$175.00 US

Item Location
NSW (Australia)

Item Description
Auto focus not working

Lens hood missing filter piece

No box

I bought this lens on eBay Australia a few years ago from the original owner

Auto focus was fast and accurate. I was using this lens every day and mainly in manual focus trying to get seascape stuff as I went for a afternoon walk. I did notice over the two years I've owned this lens that it has gotten slower and slower at initial 'wake up' when first put on a camera. Especially the longer the period of it being off a camera.


I haven't had time for photography of late and so I haven't been using this lens. It hasn't been on a camera for around two months and when I got it out the other day to take photos of it to sell the Auto focus is not responding.

If you let it sit with a fresh battery I think it may come good. Though unless used everyday it would soon be back to how it is. I've had three DA* lenses and if not in use everyday they all have seemed to get slower and slower to wake up.

I'm selling it as Auto focus not woking. Its now been another two weeks since I took the photos waiting for a chance to list these items and it hasn't been used so thats were its at.

Happy to post Internationally to some countries please contact to see and to get an accurate postage quote

Thanks

Luke

Want it gone

User UncleVanya has also reached out to remind me that he can do a conversion to screw drive for a small fee. He is able to be middle man and accept delivery and then post out to buyer for a very reasonable price. I'm happy to work all that out if someone wishes as he seems a really really nice guy (Thanks again UncleVanya for advice)

Thanks

Luke

Have you tried turning the focusing screw back and forth with a small screwdriver?

Nope

Nore do i want to

I do appreciate the tips/advice though thank guys

Future owner can try this stuff if it sells

Not lowering price further so if it does not sell now I will keep it as its a nice lens. I use this one in manual focus anyway so it is not a problem for me.

Selling this lens and K3ii because I unfortunately don't have the time to use them at the moment and can't justify the money value of these two sitting in our camera drawer.

We have K3 with the DA 35 and 50 for photos of the kids so that fits our needs at the moment

Thanks again!
