Item Description
Legends & rarities sale
I am sadly swapping systems, so my favourite lenses need to go to make way for new purchases (have you seen the price of nikon glass!?). Lenses do not come with boxes or manuals.
*UPDATE-TRADE OPTIONS*- it appears I could not resist the K-01 fire sale prices, and now have a K-01 for travel usage. Would be happy to work out some sort of a trade arrangement with either DA 40ltd or DA21ltd.
POSTAGE: As a rough guide, postage to the US and Canada will be $30 each, $40 to UK. Images of lenses can be seen here (apologies for poor iphone shots): Lens Picture Link Pentax SMC K 135mm f2.5 + Case Serial No. 5286958, K mount
One of Pentax's finest lenses, superb image quality etc- plenty of information in the review section here. This would have to be my favourite lens for build quality and mechanical joy in usage, and they are getting hard to find in this good condition.
Lens is in excellent condition, pictured for the sake of accuracy is a small portion of minor brassing on the aperture ring.
Case is in good condition, pictured is some damage to the top, looks like some tape or similar has removed part of the top layer of the leather. Fungus free, minimal dust.
Price Drop - $280 - $265 - Last price drop: $250 USD shipping at cost - lens is back for sale as previous purchaser was unable to complete transaction due to change in circumstances.
Takumar 18mm Pancake Fisheye f11-32 + Case Serial No. 1240042, M42 mount
This is quite the genuine rarity, not to be confused with the takumar 17mm fisheye. This is the 18mm Pancake, the only fisheye pancake lens made by any manufacturer. In excellent condition apart from some crazing to the glue internally (almost all of these lenses develop this issue) which does not affect image quality at all. This lens can be used with the pk/adapter, I have used it myself as a 'fun' creative lens, but really it is more of a collector piece due to its rarity and being f11 is fairly restrictive for standard photos.
Leather case/green felt interior in excellent condition. No fungus, minimal dust.
$390 - Price drop: $350 - Last Price Drop - $290 USD shipping at cost
Pentax DA 12-24mm f4 Serial No. 6158213, K mount
The 12-24 is imo the best wide angle zoom lens available for k-mount. I have used this lens mainly for architectural work, the minimal barrel distortion at the wide end is excellent, and sharpness is superb. Lens in good-excellent condition, a few minor marks on the petal hood and a mark as pictured.
SOLD $590 - Price Drop: $550 USD shipping at cost
*SOLD* Vivitar 100mm f2.8 1:1 Macro (Kiron)
Serial No. 22710079, K mount
Known by many names and produced in different forms, this Vivitar is (along with the Lester Dine etc) the reference go-to macro that reproduces 1:1 scale without the need for extension tubes. This lens is in good-excellent condition, there are a few small chips on the top collar shown in photographs below. This version is the sought after Kiron model, as per serial number designation. This is the PK/A model, so includes the 'a' mode for camera controlled aperture.
$240 *SOLD* USD shipping at cost
