Pentax FA 43mm, FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited, & Sigma 10-20 - PRICE REDUCED

***Shipping Charges are for the Continental U.S. via USPS Priority w/ insurance. Delivery may require a signature. PayPal Business transactions only.***


Returns: No Inquire


I do my best to care for my gear and I’m very selective if and when purchasing used gear. Much of what you see has little use in recent years. The lenses function perfectly, feature smooth action… wear only-no defects… no haze or fungus… a little dust perhaps, noticeable under bright light and close examination—certainly nothing that affects image quality. Please see the pictures, read each item’s listing carefully for additional information, and send me a private message if you are interested in purchasing anything. This is busy time of year for many, including myself, but I’ll respond to messages as quickly as I can and I will ship items out the same or next business day once I have received payment.


Condition Key (Credit: Pentax Forums)

Mint: Item has no marks, scratches, or signs of use whatsoever. Packaged in original box with all manuals and accessories. 99.99% of original condition.

Like New: Item is lightly used, but shows no marks or scratches. Extremely minimal signs of use may be visible. Packaged in original box with all manuals and accessories. 98% of original condition.

Excellent: Item is moderately used, but shows no scratches or dents. Small marks and minimal signs of use may be visible. Collectors would accept items in this condition. 95% of original condition.

Good: Item has seen substantial use, but shows no significant scratches or dents. Marks and signs of use may be visible as a result from wear-and-tear. 90% of original condition.

Fair: Item has seen substantial use and may have some scratches, but no significant dents. Marks and signs of use will be more abundant than typically. 80% of original condition.

Poor: Item has seen great use and may have scratches, dents, and signs of use that are clearly visible. 70% of original condition.

Damaged: Item has seen extreme use, or has been handled poorly. Significant scratches, dents, dings, and signs of use are clearly visible OR the item is NOT in full working condition. 60% or less of original condition. Bargain price. Any lens with scratches on its front element, fungus, or fog will automatically fall in this category.


SOLD SMC Pentax FA 43mm Limited f/1.9 (Item #1 in pictures)
$400
Made in Japan.
Includes front and rear caps, leather pouch, and box. The rear cap is marked “Made in Korea” and is likely not the original; it also has a tendency to loosen.
Purchased from a forum member several years ago who had used it sparingly. I have used it sparingly myself.
Excellent condition, with wear showing on the metal lens cap. The box shows some wear… maybe the box is fair to good?



SOLD SMC Pentax FA 77mm Limited f/1.8 (Item #2 in pictures)
$515
Made in Japan
Includes front and rear caps, leather pouch, box, and the pictured paperwork. The rear cap is likely not the original, but functions as such (it may be from another Limited or Pentax lens of mine). The front cap has some nicks and chips to the finish.
The front element was replaced several years ago by Pentax Imaging Company in Colorado, after I slipped and fell with my camera at that time. It was returned to me quickly, good as new, and functions perfectly. Wear marks on the metal lens cap are likely from my jean's back pocket. I noticed a small abrasion on the aperture ring when I was photographing it for this ad and have circled it in red, although it is difficult to see.
Despite the above description, I consider it to be in Good+++ condition. (Compare my photos & description to others listings.) If I could carry one lens with me into the afterlife this would be the one.

Add $16 for shipping.



SOLD Sigma EX 10 -20 f/4-5.6 DC (Item #3 in pictures)
$285
Made in Japan.
Includes factory hood, front and rear caps, a UV filter to protect the large front element, factory case, and original box. The rear cap is perhaps not the original, but functions as such.
Excellent condition. I purchased it new and have also used it very sparingly. A great lens for interiors!

Against my better judgment, I've dropped the price of the FA 77 and much of my remaining equipment. This is a top quality lens and produces top quality images. It blows my mind that it hasn't sold yet.
