Item for Sale
DA* 300mm

Asking Price
500.00 USD

Item Location
Alaska (United States)

Item Description
I am selling my DA* 300mm that I bought from KEH in 2013. As you can see from the photos it has been pretty well used but it still working as it should. At one time the one of the SDM power contacts broke off and I replaced it with the power contacts from my DA* 50-135 lens when the autofocus got iffy when using my HD DA 1.4x AW converter. Since then the autofocus been working fine with my TC. There is some brassing and some scratches on the hood along with a few small scratches on the front element that as far as I can tell, that has no effects on my images. See attached photos. No fungus or haze, it does look like there is a few dust spots inside, not too sure what they are though. No oil on the aperture blades. The lens will come with a 3rd party front lens cap, Pentax rear cap and the original lens case (not pictured). I've included a few photos that I took recently with this lens.

This is a fantastic lens. I could not find one used when I was looking for it and sprung for one new. Well worth the price asked here and if I did not already have one I would jump on it.

Sorry about that, steamloco76. Our internet connection has been pretty bad the last month or so.
