Item for Sale
SMC Pentax FA 80-320mm Lens

Asking Price
$120 USD USD

Item Location
Austin TX area (United States)

Item Description
Very nice condition - AF works great, glass is unmarked, clean and clear with the exception of a very small mark on the front element, aperture blades are clean and snappy. There are some minor scuff marks on the focus ring and some very minor 'dings' on the front of the lens barrel.

Includes rear cap only - I put a filter on it to protect the front glass.

I did an informal test with this lens squaring off against my DA 55-300 - virtually a dead heat as to image quality with a very, very slight edge to the DA. I doubt you'd be able to see any difference in 8x10 prints.

Interested! Do you have any sample pics taken with this lens?

Here's a test photo and a crop from the test photo I took awhile ago - only post processing was covering the license plate number and re-sizing for posting.

Handheld at 125th says a lot for the K30's shake reduction!

Final price reduction - and I'll add one of the 3-position rubber lens hoods.
