Pentax Items for sale:
· Manfrotto 3036 tripod hardly used. Dropped once so there is one scratch. $110
· Bogen 2030 Head plus 3 quick release plates RC2 $40 good shape
· F* 600 mm F4, in a box, strap, cap and front lens cover. Optically and mechanically excellent. Very quick and decisive focus with Kd10. Normal wear mostly from placing my lens on a ground. It is 13 lbs of glass so paint can chip away. Keept all the time with other lenses in a humidity free environment. Per Stan’s Pentax Photography site: “Pål - . . . Slightly soft wide open with visible light fall-off at the corners . . . Sharp from F:5.6. Also very sharp at its smallest aperture. John Mustarde - . . . a truly fabulous lens and worth every penny of its price. . . It is very sharp at f4, extremely sharp at f8 .” My take? Soft at 4, 5.6 is fine, extremely sharp at f8, no light fall off. I use unsharp mask set at 140. 0.3 and 0 at 72 DPI (for internet). Those at f 4 look very fine after I am done. Sometimes if I get lucky I do not need to use unsharp feature. My tripod and head are too cheap and too weak for my 600mm so my technique is not so good. I just can carry more weight. Can send samples at various f stops. $5800 and I will not ship. A personal observation and test (take hundreds of shots if you like) are required. Just too expensive for both of us to have any problems.
