For Sale - Sold: Pentax TC's, Kenko TC, SF10 (x2), AF540 flash, Promaster FTD 7000M flash

**Marc Langille** · 07-29-2008, 06:59 PM

Time to clean house a bit - too many unused items, so they need a good home! All items include shipping within the US. Any other country please contact me with your physical mailing address so I can calculate shipping via USPS.

These prices are typical of buying used from KEH or B&H if one was available. All of the TC’s have their caps – front and rear. Condition of the Pentax TC's is still at the KEH rating when I bought them. These are some of the best TC's Pentax made. I still have three 1.4x TC's, a 1.7X AF TC, and that is enough...

Pentax 1.4X-S Teleconverter – in “LN-“ condition - $145 shipped - SOLD!
Pentax 2X-S Teleconverter – in “LN-“ condition - $195 shipped PRICE REDUCTION TO $175 shipped (CONUS)... elsewhere actual shipping costs.
Pentax 2X-L Teleconverter – in “LN-“ condition - $245 shipped (normally it only works with specific lenses 300mm+ due to the front element protruding) PRICE REDUCTION TO $215... shipped (CONUS)... elsewhere actual shipping costs.
Kenko 1.5x Pz-AF Teleconverter – $75 shipped. Basically unused – in the box with registration card and manual. SOLD!

NOTE: both the Kenko and my Tamron Pz-AF 1.4xTC do not have super stiff walls where the lens mounts are! It is not recommended that you use a heavier lens with it unless you have a tripod collar on the lens or the lens is supported somehow. It will flex when you use that sort of combination or if you have your head stiffness quite high, and try to move the lens using only the camera body. Please keep the aforementioned in mind if you are considering the Kenko unit.

Pentax AF540 FGZ flash – barely used - $270 shipped. Includes pouch, box, and manual. UPC code was removed from box. SOLD!

Cactus V2 transmitter + 2 receivers - $55 shipped. SOLD!

Pentax-M 50/1.4 lens with Vivitar UV Haze filter - $40 shipped (front and rear caps included). Optics are fine, focus and aperture rings are very smooth. Very good condition. SOLD!

Pentax-A 50/2 lens - $35 shipped (front and rear caps included). Optics are fine, focus ring very smooth, aperture ring movement is a little stiff, but still moves well. Very good condition. SOLD!

Pentax SF10 film bodies (x2) – both appear to in good working order. I will include a 28mm F/2.8 on each.

One lens has a bent filter ring on it: it’s a Beston-M 28/2.8 brand lens that came with the camera. No viewfinder cup. It goes for $30 shipped (there was a 1.7x AF TC in this auction, so I got the body and lens too). PRICE REDUCTION TO $25 shipped (CONUS)... elsewhere actual shipping costs.
The other lens is fine, and is an Image-A 28/2.8 brand lens. It has an Image UV filter on it. The viewfinder eyecup has a small piece missing on one corner. It goes for $45 shipped. PRICE REDUCTION TO $30 shipped (CONUS)... elsewhere actual shipping costs.

Takumar-F 70-200 F/4-5.6 AF zoom lens – optics are fine, and in very good condition - PRICE REDUCTION: $75 shipped - NOW $55 Shipped. I originally paid $225 for it when I bought my SF10.

Images available on request, but be assured that everything is exactly as described. You are welcome to check my feedback here.

Regards,
Marc

Hi Tim,

They worked fine for the few times I used them. My understanding is that so long as the batteries are not drained and they're not fired continuously, it should be fine. Here is some feedback from another forum:
Cactus V2 Transmitters - DPChallenge Forums

They are not Pocket Wizards, but then again the set is 1/3 the price of just a single PW. I suspect shipping is around $15 to Ottawa - max...

BTW, my parents' postal code is K1G 2Y7... and I used to live on Constance Lake Road at K2K 1X7... Are you over near Halifax Drive/Walkley Road/Heron Road area? I went to Hillcrest High School, and my brother went to Canterbury High School...

Cheers,
Marc

If Tim doesn't go for the Cactus Tx/Rx set, I might interested... What's the range of these units?

Constance Lake? Wow, small world. We lived (for 7 years) in Kanata (Hazeldean area), but spent a fair bit of time at friends' places up in Carp - one right near the fairgrounds,and one a few miles past the 'Diefenbunker'... Nice area - close enough to Ottawa to always have something to do, but far enough away to miss the traffic and noise...

I am thinking it's around 10-15 metres, but YMMV.

Yes, it's a small world indeed! That's why I liked Constance Lake Road - very quiet with 12 acres...

No word yet from Tim, and it's first come, first served.

Regards,
Marc

OttawaPhotog · 08-02-2008, 09:40 PM

Yes you are exactly correct on my location. Sorry been away from here for a couple days. I guess I should have sent a PM. I'm actually in the Apt buildings that overlook Cantebury HS.
