Item Description

I bought the beautiful Pentax DFA 100mm WR brand-new in 2012 but have only used it on a few occasions, so it is still in excellent condition. I am just not using it enough to justify holding onto it - I'm not a macro shooter. Though it also is great as a short telephoto prime, and WR is a bonus, and the metal barrel construction makes this really a Limited lens in all but name only. I really wanted to keep it but I also want to buy a new MacBook. This lens works on both full frame and crop sensor, and has awesome reviews: SMC Pentax-D FA 100mm F2.8 Macro WR Reviews - D FA Prime Lenses - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database

It is easily one of, if not THE, sharpest lenses I have used for my Pentax DSLRs. I love the colors and bokeh it produces, and really lovely handling. The only downside as reviewers have noted is that the auto-focus can be slow but that's because it's designed to have macro capability and there's no focus limiter. Once you use the "quick shift" function to fine-tune the focus, the auto-focus is very speedy in locking onto its target. That said, this is not a lens for shooting fast sports or birds in flight.

Here are pictures of the lens, along with all accessories it comes with (original lens pouch, original hood, original front and rear caps, original box and paperwork). And I have also attached some sample pictures taken with it.

Asking $225, which includes the cost of shipping within CONUS as well as PayPal fees. I also accept Venmo.

Sale of lens pending… I will update and mark as sold as soon as transaction has been completed. Sad to see this marvelous lens go but I just don’t use it enough to justify hanging onto it.
