Item Description
SMC Pentax-FA 35mm F2 AL that I bought used a few years ago. Includes the hood, the hood cut-out thingy, and a cheaper back cap. Optics are clean, focus is smooth. However...
The aperture is oily. Very oily. It-doesn't-always-close-even-with-the-two-second-timer oily. Here's a link to a video (i couldn't upload the file):

You may thing, "hmm... I could get that cleaned!" And you could. I've had it cleaned at two separate shops, at least two times each. Both shops have good reputations, and were astonished to see me back within their 3-month warranty period (twice, at one place). I'm not saying it can't be done, but I've given up.
Also, the focus window is cracked. It's off to the side, and the numbers are still readable.
There are plenty of good uses for this lens, but make sure you know what you're getting - you may think you can live with it for everyday use, but it gets annoying quickly.
