Item Description
Hello,

I'm culling down the lens collection and offering up the only lens that I have purchased three times over the course of the past five years. I'm selling this as I found, and purchased, a great copy of the legendary FA*85 and prefer the sharpness and rendering of it to the 77.

This lens was purchased through a 3rd party seller in summer 2014 and has been my workhorse portrait lens. It has been used for portraits, travel, as well as weddings and other events.

Granted its role in my arsenal, it has seen better days. From day one of having the lens, I put a metal hood on it and the body has some scratches and normal wear and tear. There is very minimal dust in the lens.

The lens come with original box, paperwork, and all accessories including the original case and hood.

The price is $515, which includes all PayPal fees and shipping in the continental US. Payment is through PayPal.

There are no returns, unless the lens arrives in a non-functional state.

For samples of what I produced with this lens, please check out Search: 77 | Flickr

Thanks for looking.

Photos of the lens are here: mr.b.snowden's Album: FA77 - PentaxForums.com

I don't understand why this lens is still here. Does everyone has an FA 77 or 85 already? Or is everyone waiting for the new DFA 85? FA 77 is such a great and special lens!

Bump for a stellar lens that is looking for a new home.

Bump.

It really is an incredible lens. It's small size is icing on the cake. I had to sell my copy due to financial exigency, and I've missed it ever since. If you can do it, get it. Such wonderful rendering and bokeh.

Bump before the holidays. Open to fair offers.

I guess wiping the dust off and repost some photos might help?
