Wanted - Acquired: Pentax 31/1.8 Silver

Class A · 03-28-2013, 11:12 PM

I'm looking for a silver Pentax FA 31mm f/1.8.

Glass should be clean and front and rear caps should be included.
The pouch would be nice, but isn't essential.

There should be minimal movement of the lens barrel, i.e., when you hold the lens at the end and move it, the hood should not wobble a lot. If you hold the lens in the middle and move it, it shouldn't feel as if something inside would move quite a bit.

It is very hard to avoid some minimal play in manufacturing so I'm not excluding copies where a little of the above symptoms can be observed.

N.B., I have a flawless ebay record and successfully dealt with PF members.
