As noted in my previous listing for the 645Z and 55mm f/2.8 lens, unforeseen circumstances have led to the need to sell my 645Z system just months after I purchased it. Although I am relatively new to the Pentax Forums I have a long history on Ebay with a 100% rating. You can find me there at username "hgbisel".
This posting is for the following:
--- SOLD --- Pentax 90mm f/2.8 D FA 645 Macro ED AW SR Lens - Like New - $2750.00
This lens was purchased on Ebay from a studio owner on 02/03/2016. It has been used very little, and always in a smoke-free studio environment. Both caps, lens hood, soft case all paperwork (except the warranty card) and packaging are present. On close scrutiny I have found a mark on the inside edge of the filter ring that I had not previously noticed. It is smaller than a pin head in size. Otherwise I can find no flaws, cosmetically or optically. According to the PF guidelines it's possible that I should list this lens in Excellent rather than Like New condition, but putting myself in the shoes of a buyer, I don't think I would be in any way disappointed. Still, I wanted to be sure it was mentioned.
--- REMOVED FROM MARKET --- Pentax FA 645 150mm f2.8 IF Lens - Excellent
This lens was purchased 05/08/2016 on Ebay. Both caps and the lens hood are present, however there is no packaging or paperwork. Optically I can find no fault with the lens. I took a photograph of my wife with this lens today so I would have a jpg to use for checking shutter count on the body. Her eyelashes were very sharp at 3:1 magnification in Lightroom. I'm not much of a pixel peeper, so this might be the only time I've checked sharpness at that magnification. Cosmetically, the lens is in excellent condition. In the right light it is possible to see very minor marks on the lens hood, but you have to look to see them. They are in no way distracting or obvious.
Unfortunately, due to a very bad past experience I will only ship to addresses in the Continental U.S. (I do feel badly about this, but I can't afford another such incident.) The cost of shipping via UPS ground service with insurance is included in my prices, and I'll be sure to have it well-packaged and on its way within two business days after receipt of funds through PayPal.
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions, and thank you very much for your consideration!
