Item Description
Among inexpensive, Pentax telephoto zooms, this lens gets the highest ratings among users of this forum, but is getting hard to find. My copy is in fair condition but works very well. Some minor issues:
  • The front element has a small streak near the edge that does not affect image quality, and there is some internal dust.
  • There are several scratches and marks on the lens barrel, some of which reveal the black plastic beneath the silver paint. However, they have no effect on performance.
  • The zoom ring creeps, but I work around this problem by placing a wide, black, rubber band (included) around the aperture ring, partially overlapping the edge of the zoom ring. You can adjust the resistance of the ring by overlapping more or less of the band. (I have also read that zoom creep can be fixed in some cases by partially disassembling the lens and tightening some screws, but I leave that to a more daring owner.)
Included are both caps and an Actina Super-Scru metal lens hood with 58-49mm step-down ring and 49mm, center-pinch lens cap. The hood is a perfect match to the lens, which never had an authentic, Pentax hood but badly needs one in order to achieve maximum performance. The hood’s length is well-suited to the lens’s angle of view and when removed, it can be stored in a reversed position over the lens barrel without taking up any extra space in your bag.

Please contact me if you have any questions about me or the item. I am new to this forum, but have sold occasionally on eBay since 2001 and am a photo enthusiast, not a professional seller. I am beginning to sell off my Pentax gear because my needs have changed and I have to raise some funds. Thanks for looking!

This is one of the best Pentax AF lenses. I am surprised no one has bought it. I have new and more modern lenses, however, when in doubt, this is the one that always come ahead. Most of my photos accepted in the Pentax gallery have been shot with this lens.
