Item for Sale
SMC Pentax DA L 55-300mm f4-5.8 ED - $162 w/postage or OFFERS

Asking Price
162 (includes postage in Australia, and $3 discount for bank deposit - $165 if paid with Paypal)

Item Location
Newcastle (Australia)

Item Description
This is the DA L 55-300, optically the same as the DA version, just lacking the bells and whistles.
I normally use much "higher quality" lenses than this - but this is still one of my favourites, being SO light, hand holding at 300mm is really easy, which gives you sharper results than you could expect from heavier lenses.
It comes with genuine Pentax front and rear caps - and both elements, and the body of the lens are in excellent condition. Autofocus is very responsive and accurate on the 3 cameras I've used it on - all in all it's without fault.

It's not normally available by itself, so I believe I'm being fair with the price, especially given the great condition it's in - but if you disagree, please do make an offer.
Australian buyers, bank deposit is preferred and will attract a $3 discount, making the price $162 including shipping. $165 is the price if paid with Paypal.

Check out the pics and thanks for looking.

I do want a longer lens... but I just blew my budget on another recently. If it doesn't sell in the next couple weeks (it should!) I'll definitely take it.

No problems, I'll keep you in mind if it doesn't sell.

Is that $162 Aussie dollars or US?

Quazimoto · 08-22-2012, 01:29 AM

$162 Aussie.

It asks for it in US but no one seems to heed that, and with them being so close, by the time you've paid Paypal/Visa/MC's fee on changing currencies, they're almost identical.

Is this still available?

Hi,
No sorry. I've got to update it.

Thanks.
