I have the more dangerous variant of LBA - the binge and purge LBA! I will be purging a few lenses over the next few weeks and I am starting with these two. Both lenses are free from fungus, scratches, and work well.

This item has been moved to eBay:
Pentax 28-80 F macro lens. It is a nice compact autofocus zoom, that is relatively fast compared to some other zooms in this range. It is a full-frame, fully automatic lens and works well with the K10D.

I am asking $195 for the (sold) Kiron 105mm f/2.8 macro. It is also in excellent condition with no fungus, etc.

If you need more information about these lenses, PM me and I will answer as soon as possible. I take PayPal - I prefer US only, but will hold for international if paid with an international money order in US $.

Prices do not include shipping charges, but in the US it will be about $9 shipping per order. In other words if you buy one lens or both - the shipping will be $9 total.

that's a good honest price for the kiron and i'd jump on it if i didn't have the viv f2.5

TomInJax · 12-25-2007, 02:32 PM

The Kiron 105mm has been sold. But - the Pentax zoom is still available!!

The 105 sure didn't last long:-). Great lens, somebody will be happy and as Roy said a very nice fair price. Both parties should be pleased.

I bought it.

I just happened to be in the right place in the right time... looked like a good deal and an excuse to replace my M42 Vivitar 55mm F2.8 1:1 macro lens with something a bit newer. Besides, I didn't get much of anything photo-related for Christmas.

you'll really enjoy this lens. it has an added benefit tho. it's good as a club against muggers..LOL

Maybe I can use an extra-strong lens leash to attach it to my Vivitar S1 70-210mm that I bought from here a few weeks ago and use them as nunchuks - it'd probably be one vicious, heavy combination!
