Well, I have some bills to pay and I really hate ebay, so I've done some serious price drops. One last try...
So, I have some classic Pentax gear that needs a loving new home. You will find a full list below. This is wonderful gear, but it has been sitting in the closet too long now and needs to go somewhere it will be used!
I prefer to sell this all as a kit, but I will have individual prices marked as well. I'll probably give it a day or say and see if I can make someone a happy camper with the whole lot.
Pictures of all the equipment can be found on my blog at:

Sorry for the WB issues on some of the pics, I did what I could... And there is a bit of a green tinge to some of it, but everything really is black.
So here we go...
1. Pentax K2 DMD - Pentax's flagship model at the time, the is a beautiful piece of equipment. I am the second owner (my dad bought it new in 1979 or 1980), and it has been well taken care of. IT was service about 5 years ago for a stick film door release, and the mirror box foam was replaced then as well. Not a single issue since!
Shows a little wear and brassing, but not bad considering the age! Meter works and is quite accurate; good enough for slide film! Includes manual, leather strap and 2 pc. leather ever-ready style case. The bottom of the case is very nice and makes a great half case!
KEH has one in bargain condition for $245, but I think this one is just as nice, and has all the extras listed above, so I'm going to ask $275 for this.
Now $225 shipped NOTE: all lenses have clean and clear glass, and clean snappy aperture blades. Most have a bit of internal dust, but nothing that is out of the ordinary for lenses of this age. All lenses come with front and rear caps, some generic.
2. Pentax 50mm f/1.4 M - This little guy is good shape, and is very sharp! Little wear on the body, but pretty clean overall. NOTE: The aperture blades seem to rattle a bit when the lens isn't mounted, but when mounted on the body the noise is gone... Works perfectly. KEH wants $100 for bargain, and I think that is good place to stat for this one. $100
Now $65 shipped
3. Pentax 28mm f/2.8 M - Great little landscape lens, and very clean. What else is there to say? Used very little. KEH wants $115-120 for one in EX condition, how about $95 for this as it shows just a bit of wear.
Now $60 shipped
4. Pentax Takumar (Bayonet) 135mm f/2.5 - Nice fast mid length tele lens. Shows some wear, but the glass is flawless! Nice sharp lens with wonderful bokeh. I think from KEH and Ebay $70 looks fair.
SOLD
5. Vivitar 19mm f/3.8 P/KA - This one will work fully on digital too! Nice wide angle, this one looks almost new! This is really wide on film! KEH and Ebay say around $100 is fair...
SOLD
6. Tokina 2x Auto Converter - This one is like new, rarely used... Comes with its own pouch to boot... Looks like $25 or so is the going rate.
7. Sunpak 411 flash - Great little flash that works great, does bounce and swivel to boot! $25
Ok, so there are all the particulars. Now, as I mentioned before, I'd prefer to sell this as kit, to make it easier and because its been together a long time.
Everything listed above comes to $690. I'd sell the kit for $550, plus throw in about a dozen rolls of film, some UV and B&W filters, a nice rubber lens hood, and an aluminum style briefcase that has foam cut to fit the camera and all the lenses, plus the flash, and some room for film to boot!
Now buy the camera and remaining lenses for $350 and get all the other goodies still!
Shipping is at the buyer's expense, whatever method you choose. Insurance is optional, but waive it at your own risk. Overseas is fine as well.
Payment can be made via Paypal, Google Checkout, or USPS money order.
Reasonable offers will be considered, and ridiculous ones will be politely ignored. :ugh: I try to price everything reasonably and fairly, but I am open to correction.
For those that want to know, I have great feedback on Ebay under squeaky_clean82, and great feedback on FredMiranda.com under squeaky_clean.
Don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have!
Chris
