Due to the inherent danger of SDM issues and cost of the lens, I will honor a 10 day return policy from buyers if not satisfied. Just pay the return shipment to me on your own and I expect same condition on return.

Thanks!

Pm sent. Thanks.

Pm sent. Thanks.

Pentax DA* 50-135mm f/2.8 is now SOLD and updated in opening post. I will have my rumbling tonight when I pack my most loved zoom from Pentax. It is the very best and one can't find the equivalent in aps-c cropped format. It is unlike any other 70-200 f/2.8 as it is very much hand-holdable and it has weather seal.

This zoom actually rivals the quality of my 77mm f/1.8 and it is invaluable in events, candid, and portraits. I used both the 77mm f/1.8 and the DA* zoom in the same dance and I actually prefer the DA* for its flexibility and good performance.

Thanks,
Hin

A bump for available items.

It is difficult to find Pentax-FA 645 lenses especially for those wide primes. I use my Pentax 645N mostly for portraits and hence I don't need the wide prime. For the FA 35mm f/2.8, you are looking for way over 1.2K price range. And I sell as I need funding for my planning in portraits lens with leaf shutter. Last call before I withdraw it for my own use.

If you have a Tamron adaptall-2 Nikon AI adapter, please PM me for trade or purchase.

Thanks,
Hin

With lack of interest in the 645 lens, I have withdrawn it from sale.

If you are needing a Canon, Olympus, Minolta adaptall-2 adapter, you can still contact me for sale.

And if you do have Tamron adaptall-2 Nikon AI adapter or that with Ricoh R/K, I am open to offers and trade.

Thanks,
Hin
