Beautiful example shots, Greyser!

Can you tell me approximately how long the Adaptall 63B's focus throw is in degrees, please?
Looks like it is not even very long: about 90 degrees, but very easy and smooth

Last call on FA*300/4.5.

I have PF member from Australia willing to purchase the lens for $500. Because I stated in the beginning that I'll deal with Continental US only, about a week ago we agreed that we'll go further with the sale, if no one in US is interested in the lens for this price.
So, anyone has 2 days to claim the lens. I will honor the agreement with AU buyer in the end of the weekend.

Thank you,
SG

I'm kind of surprised that no one has bought the Sigma 180mm yet. It's a fantastic lens from my still inexperienced point of view. If I hadn't bought one a few months ago I'd probably have swung for yours.

I wish I could. I'm in the market, but I just bought an 85/1.4 behind the wife's back. Buying another lens right now would not be so good. Best of luck with the sale!

Honestly, I thought that 180/3.5 Macro would go first. It is very rare lens. And the glass is impeccable.

Thanks. I was investigating record setting Sigma 40/1.4 today. What a beast! Latest Sigma's fast primes beat even Zeiss counterparts. Unbelievable! And their quality control now is probably the best in the industry including OEMs.There are good reads about it on LensRental Blog.

I have both the Sigma 180/3.5 and Tamron 90. Both are very different, but very good lenses. I'm surprised someone hasn't picked those up at those prices.

Yep, they both are very good, but very different, macro lenses.

Probably people are waiting for more and more price reduction games. I just can't believe that very rare 180/3.5 macro, beautiful and almost not used 15/4 and 35/2.8, unbelievably good on APS-C Sigma 8-16mm partially useful on FF, even very good, but very underestimated DA 16-45/4 have no interest at all. I'm not a poor man counting every penny. I hate all these sale inconveniences and very close to the point of getting everything altogether and dumping it in my local store for whatever they offer. But I'd like to find a better use for my stuff what I used to shoot and liked.

Believe me when I say I'd love to jump on the opportunity own a few of these lenses (both Macros, Pentax 1.7, 8mm fisheye). Unfortunatley, finances are tight & spousal support is low. I watched a very nice Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art go for ~$400 the other day and I sadly had to walk away.. The only items I have to offer in trade are 2nd Amendment items that would likely make you a felon in CA. I had similar issues when selling my Canon T7i prior + several lenses prior to switching to Pentax. I almost did take them in to a camera store just to be done with it. I hope it doesn't come to that - you've got some great equipment listed here. Cheers.

I'd love that Sigma macro, and I know I'll probably never see it again, but can't afford it right now.

You don't actually have some of the items you are selling in the listing title, so it's not as likely a person browsing the Marketplace will see things like the DA 15 and 35, etc. Plus no pics of half your items.

What do you mean? I have them all right there on my desk in front of me. Most of them were purchased new and even have original boxes, etc.

Pictures? Tell me what lens are you interested in and I make a couple of pictures. I guarantee the quality of all lenses. If there are some flaws, I carefully disclose them. Just check my recent sales: K-3, K-1, DFA 150-450, DA*60-250, Lester Dine 105/2.8 kit (LensBabies and Tamron 180/2.5 are going to be delivered tomorrow).

With almost all major items sold I may need to start another thread with images to simplify the process. Original thread is overwhelming, I guess.

Best,
SG
