Bump up for some sweet lenses.

Is rikenon lens autofocus?

elkarrde · 10-21-2011, 08:36 AM

No, all these lenses are manual focus, including Rikenon lens.

Thanks for the help. Yes, the Rikenon is a manual focus lens and it works like any other K-mount pentax lens that needs green button for metering.

All three work well with film bodies as well as digital. The reason that I am selling them is to raise funds for my digital upgrade with K-5.

For those budget minded, you can take off $15.00 if you rather have the lens alone without the lens hood. But I caution that the metal lens hood that I have serves well on the lens for both flare control and lens optic protection. Rikenon P 35mm f/2.8 has a minimal focusing distance at 0.35 meter and it is decent, sharp, and low cost.

Thank you for the inquiry. Both lenses are still available for sale. If any buyer wants it without the metal lens hood, a $15 reduction will apply to the final cost.

Payment sent for the 35mm.

Rikenon P 35mm f/2.8 has been sold and shipped to Geoff. Thank you very much Geoff.

The last lens standing is the Tamron SP 24-48mm f/3.5-3.8 adaptall-2 (13A) which works extraordinary well in my recent work-out with the lens in indoor pictures. The lens is not in top cosmetic shape as you can see in the product pictures. It has rubbing marks on lens front and I therefore make a good discount on the lens. I paid a bit over $100 from a UK seller on this lens alone w/o lens hood and the seller hided the rubbing marks and poor cosmetic from the sale listing. It is the LBA thing that poked at my weakest spots with unusual lenses and gear.

1/15 sec, f/5.6, 30-40mm, iso 400, -0.7 Ev, K20D, hand-held

Had I not fixated on a K-5 upgrade, p&s upgrade and moving away from 135 films, I will have kept it for sure.

Thanks!

For interested buyers with Tamron 24-48 , current eBay US listing for Tamron 24-48mm is provided here for references. The one ending on 10/29 has the buy-it-now price of $170.99

Thanks,

Update: I have to place my tamron gear ON HOLD.

My K20D was dead today right in my hands when I was stopping down with green button trying to work out my lesser use lens with Cosina 55mm f/1.2. The curtain was locked up and I find a metal needle sticking out from its mirror chamber. And it whines constantly with a hissing noise like a phantom green button stopping-down in a crooked way. Removing battery and SD card don't do a thing to the dying puppy. It is totally toasted with no sign of pulse from the shutter. My 3 year warranty ran out on May. It was my 2nd pentax bodies that die in my own hands. My first dead pentax was a 9 months old Pentax K-x White that I got repair from CRIS and I sold quickly after return from CRIS for fear of another failure.

I have to salvage my tamron adaptall-2 gear just in case I need to come to the last resort in switching brands. It is ironic that I am selling gear to make funds for a K5 upgrade. I can't think straight tonight and I apologize for the change of plan.

Hin

**jac** · 10-31-2011, 04:01 AM

Sorry to hear this. Best of luck getting things straightened around. Just hope lightning doesn't strike you three times whatever you decide. Crisis aside, the K5 is fabulous and the failures of the two bodies seems extremely unusual. Good luck.
