Item for Sale
smc PENTAX-A 1:1.4 50mm

Asking Price
$159.00

Item Location
St. Louis, Missouri USA

Item Description
smc Pentax A50/1.4 manual focus lens.

If you are new to Pentax this lens has the electrical contacts to communicate with the camera body, DSLR controls work with this lens.

I listed the condition as Excellent rather than Like New because I don't have the box and papers. As far as the lens goes the glass and cosmetics are spotless and all mechanical operations are as new.

Glass is flawless and coatings are vibrant
Focusing ring is smoth and without huitches throughout the range
Aperture is snappy (has probably been on the auto setting throughout its life)
There are no chips or abrasions of the paint or markeings on the lens
rear mount appears nearly unmarked. I ahve mounted to my K10D a few times, but certainly not often
Contacts work with my camera - the lens communicates with my K10D.

Offer includes correct style front and rear caps although I cannot swear they are the actual caps that the lens came with.

I bought this lens three years ago from a Forum Member.

Bump

Great lens for someone looking for a 50.

**monochrome** · 04-14-2011, 08:27 AM

Bumped again - light interest from "buyers" who want shipping to third parties, pay by check or other such requests. This is a fine lens - one of the best Pentax 50's. I'll probably have to just keep it.

Hi!

I'm interested by this lens, can you post any picture please? The actual one seems no more available.

Thanks

Thank you, I can see them now.

Whatever, I've found the same lens with a lower price due to shipping costs.

Maybe for the next time
