Item Description
Hi,

I am selling the 35mm Macro Limited. I listed it w/ the K-r body originally, which sold.

The 35mm Macro limited has a cap that is a little banged up, not from while it was on the lens, but when I would take it off to shoot pics. I babied the lens itself, so every other part of it is pristine. I've kept a filter on it, so the glass and body are mint. It comes w/ the original box and accessories (bag, manual)

I've attached a picture I took w/ the lens wide open - untouched except to shrink the file size.

Shipping is included in the price, and I would like the payments sent as "gift". This is my first time selling on Pentax Forums, but I have great feedback on Ebay of 100% - you can check if you like; my username is ronroe. Thank you for looking!

This lens has become my stay on camera lens.

It's a very good lens... I bought the 31mm, which is too close in focal length to this one. The 31mm is faster, but already miss the macro capabilities...

Prospective buyers: It's ok to own a DA 35 ltd and a FA 31 ltd--as a matter of fact, it's kind of cool.

windup77 · 03-10-2012, 11:05 AM

If money were no object... I would keep both

That's good to know - I'm assuming that we are talking from experience....??

Yep, I have both.

They're quite different. I tend to take the 35 on rambles if there's good light but for certain other purposes (low light, close portraits & artsy stuff), the 31 is the go-to.

Seems like dadipentak is enjoying the extra coolness

bought from me. DA 35 is the most prolific lens and with a flash gun can cover most of the low light situation. Few days ago I went longwood garden with FA 43 and sigma 70 macro and I missed DA 35 every time I had to change the lens to take photos of my kids and the flowers.

Very much (and at my age, I need all the coolness I can get.)

Thanks!

I'll second that it's ok to own both

I was actually considering to buy this DA35f2.8 to have two, in case one get lost or damaged. I could not live without one.

Still available... a couple potential buyers fell through. Does anyone know how safe it is in general to deal with foreign buyers? I was a bit leery of selling to a Spanish buyer because his conditions (i.e. sending as a gift to avoid customs taxes) invalidated the Paypal protection policy...

Bramela · 03-13-2012, 12:08 PM

Provided payment is made through paypal, and you have received payment before despatch of item, you should have no worries in dealing around the world.

**dadipentak** · 03-13-2012, 04:22 PM

I've had no issues at all selling to foreign buyers (even Australians!
