[SOLD] FA* 300mm/4.5, Tokina ATX 80-400mm/4.5-5.6

Up for sale are two telescope lenses in my pentax collection, FA* 300mm/f4.5 and Tokina 80-400mm/f4.5-5.6. Getting fewer and fewer chances to hang out and shoot with them recently and decide to let them go.

(i) FA* 300mm/f4.5: this is a legendary lens lens......needn't say much about it. Glass is perfect, without any scratches/blemishes/dusts/fungus. AF is fast and accurate. There are several small paint-off on the lower part of lens body (as can be seen in the picture), other than that the lens is in great cosmetic condition. Original lens hood and (non-original) lens caps would be also included. Ask for $960 + transaction fee (if any) and actual postage. SOLD

(ii) Tokina ATX 80-400mm/f4.5-5.6 AF lens for pentax mount: lens is in mint condition. Glass and body are very clean without any marks. It's a small lens (for a zoom in this range) with very high build-quality and takes sharp images even wide open from 80-300mm; it's a little bit soft at 400mm when f=5.6, but would be improved substantially if stop down to f=8. Would include the original lens hood, caps and pouch. Ask for $420 + transaction fee (if any) and actual postage. SOLD

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

400mm wide open

Also, at harsh conditions, wide open images at 400mm may show some CA but still quite usable. Below please see an example.
