Pentax FA 100mm f/2.8 macro lens

Price is US$240 (AU$340) plus shipping.

This stellar lens was acquired through this forum a few years ago now and given me so many excellent, sharp and well defined images both at short and long distance focusing. I have a number of images shot with this lens in my photo library here, as well as one in the exclusive gallery.

It has minor buff marks and superficial signs of use, but the glass is excellent with no scratches or internal fungus/mold.

It has been cared for very well ever since I bought it and will provide a lifetime of excellent images. Its only functional deficit over a new version is the lack of focusing limiter that had been taken out by the previous owner and the area sealed by a machined metal filler as pictured.

So what you have is a fully functional macro lens (apart from the focus limiter) at a price to sell. I’m only selling to acquire a WR version of the 100mm macro lens. PayPal payment to my verified account. Ships locally or internationally. Let me know if you have any questions.

This is a helluva lens. It's what I use in the field, and rarely use the focus limiter.

Let's give it another bump for a most reasonable offer on a sharp 1:1 macro lens.
