For Sale - Sold: Fs: Fa* 28-70 2.8 AL

Hi,

This was a tough decicion, will probably never get hold of such a lens again.
But I need to clear up my lens collection and go from 3 to 2 lenses, this has to go.
The lens is optically in perfect condition and works very well. The Powerzoom switch is not moveable, probably blocked by previous owner since i have read that the powerzoom feature could cause some mechanical problems with this lens.
The small plastic window covering the zoom indicator is also gone,and replaced with a small tape protecting the lens from dirt.
The Lens comes with back and front lens covers, lens hood and a Soligor 67 mm UV Filter.

Price €(Euro)575 + shipping

Regards
Mats

pretty nice if the usd to euro exchange rate weren't so bad.

Still you got to wonder how much gunk got in through the missing window before it was taped. I agree though great deal. To bad I don't have that kind of money...

Yeah.. I agree with that... but the price is tempting.. hehe

The optics are very clean and i would be surprised if there was an open "back door" for dust via the zoom indicator on a lens in this class. Cant be the first lens Pentax has seen with missing "window".
