Item for Sale
Pentax A* 85/1.4

Asking Price
$950 (include PayPal fees, shipping extra)

Item Location
Vancouver (Canada)

Item Description
The A*85/1.4 is the only Pentax prime lens under 200mm that receive a "10" in the Forum Lens Review Database.

This unit comes with a B+W 67mm filter, B+W 960 metal hood, original case, caps and booklet. The B+W filter front ring is slightly bended because I have to unscrew it from another wide angle lens with pilers, therefore, the metal hood can only screw onto the lens front directly, not to the filter front. Unless there is very strong stray light, I have used the hood may be a handful of time since I don't shot portrait with strong direct light source. So the hood is "brand new" in box.

Please note the 2 small black spots in the lens photo are dirt on my K-r sensor. Below are recent photos taken with this lens in open shade & under direct sunlight.

Thanks, Jajajab. Did you have a Zeiss ZK 85/1.4? I concur that is another "10".

Thank you.

If "She who can do no wrong" catches on to the fact of pricing for these "old", "used" lenses I buy, instead of those "expensive" new ones, you may be able to pick it up again at a reasonable price from the executor of my estate.
