I've come to the conclusion I prefer primes for MF shooting. So, my MF zooms (and one AF zoom) are up for sale. I'm also selling the Vivitar S1 85mm f/1.4 since it was simply a temporary fill-in until I tracked down an A 100 f/2.8...which I've finally done. And I'm re-listing my Sigma APO EX 2x teleconverter. Details below.
Prices dropped! All prices are firm and include ground shipping and insurance to CONUS and Paypal fees. Other destinations and service levels by individual arrangement only. (See bottom section for detailed information on payment, shipping & insurance, returns, etc.) If I decide to lower my prices or accept best offers, I'll update this original post. USD$110 | Pentax SMC A 70-210mm f/4.0
Original owner: No
Functional Condition: Excellent
Cosmetic Condition: Fair (PF) / EX (KEH)
Purchased bare lens from KEH in Sep 2010 in EX condition. I added front & rear lens caps. Front & rear elements are clean, interior shows no sign of haze or fungus. There's a wee little bit of internal dust -- as one might expect in an older lens -- but it's very small and has no impact on IQ. Focus ring is smooth and well damped. Aperture blades are clean, dry, smooth, and snappy.
Includes:
- Pentax SMC A 70-210mm f/4.0 lens
- 58mm center pinch front cap
- Pentax rear cap

5 SOLD USD$160 | Sigma APO 2x EX (non-DG) TC
Original owner: No
Functional Condition: Excellent
Cosmetic Condition: Excellent
Purchased from a fellow PFer in September 2009. Designed specifically for the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8. Sold my 70-200 some time ago, so have no need for it any longer. If you follow the lens forum, this lens + TC combination gets recommended all the time -- for good reason. While the DG coating is supposed to offer protection against flare and ghosting, I've never noticed any flare or ghosting in my images using the non-DG version.
For reference, the Sigma lens compatibility list.
Includes:
- Teleconverter
- Asahi Pentax front & generic KR rear caps
