Item Description
Selling my well-cared-for Kiron 105mm Macro as I've replaced it with another macro in my bag.
Optically excellent. No fungus, apparent lens scratches or mars. Nothing detrimental to image quality noted in several hundred shots taken with it. A bit of minor wear on the focus ring as expected, and it's
sometimes difficult to get the aperture back to the "A" setting if you've changed it to a set aperture. and sometimes it has been fine. With that said it has not yet failed to click in place given a bit of patience, but personally I just leave it in "A" now to avoid the issue. Perhaps even some light lubricant would correct it altogether, dunno as I never tried it not knowing enough about it.
No readily apparent body scratches, light wear marks on the mount. Otherwise both the focus and aperture rings operate smoothly, overall appearance of the body is very good.
No need to extoll on the macro qualities as most here are familiar with it's excellence and if not read the PentaxForums user reviews at
Kiron / Lester A. Dine 105mm f2.8 Macro Lens Reviews - Miscellaneous Lenses - Pentax Lens Review Database
Not generally mentioned is the usefulness as a portrait lens according to reviewers, something full-frame K1 users will appreciate.
