FA-50 Macro f2.8

Asking Price
21,000 Yen (around 190 USD based on exchange rate at the time of posting)
***FREE shipping with EMS + Tracking number and insurance Worldwide.***

Item Location
Tokyo (Japan)

Item Description
I am looking to Sell or Trade this lens with O-GPS1.
(For those interesting in a Trade; send me a Direct Message and see if we can work out the differences.)

It is actually one of my most used lens, but I want the "WR" feature like in 55*.

I have a transparency protection film wrap around the lens's metal barrel. it can be removed if you want but I advise to keep it on for protection and the film is a bit pricey. It is the same protection film people use for iPhone/iPad, so it won't turn yellow and it won't leave sticky glue behind after removal.

I am using this lens for Night City / Landscape photo 99% of the time therefore the real world sample below will mostly be cityscape photo and one macro.

It is extremely sharp, corner to corner, at 1:1 or at infinity, and there is no noticeable distortion. Wide open it is better than many lenses at their optimal apertures, and when stopped down to f/5.6 or f/8, it matches the very best. Colors are very neutral, the contrast is excellent. Light fall-off is barely visible wide open and non-existent when the aperture is closed down a stop or two. Bokeh is very smooth, and flare resistance is superb.

Not lens-related, but I've been folllowing you on insta for a dang long time and I never realized you shot Pentax. Your cityscape work is absolutely phenomenal!

I already own this lens and even shot it today! Love the cityscapes, Tokyo is like sensory overload on steroids!

Bump with another real-world photo.

Rainny season is coming to Tokyo, and I want to replace this lens with a 50 WR lens soon. SO, feel free to give me your price offer if you are interesting.

it can take an outstanding photo, macro or landscape, day or night. (smooth out of focus area on wider aperture and super nice starburst as a bonus when stop down pass f8 and point at the light.)

[pakinjapan]

Reduce price and change to JPY becauseUSD is getting stronger. You get a double discount here.
It is Free worldwide shipping too.
