Rare Silver DA 40/2.8 XS.
Asking Price
315.00 AUD
Item Location
NSW (Australia)
Item Description
Sad to see this one go but I don't like leaving lenses collecting dust, since acquiring a silver HD DA 35/2.8 Macro I really can't justify holding onto this one.
I bought this from a seller in America, came with the silver K5 and as far as I know that was the only way to get this silver version of the DA 40 XS.
Here you can see it's low pancake profile sitting on my KP;
Soon after receiving the lens I placed a UV filter onto it, it's lived on it ever since, I don't believe I have ever touched the front or rear elements with anything other than a rocket blower. Never been dropped, cradled with love, this thing doesn't appear to have a scratch on it, it really is like new (or like 1 week after owning a new one
)
Some more pics;
Now I know my asking price is quite a bit more than what a regular DA 40 XS costs. Currently my searching shows a new Black DA 40 XS going for $329AUD, or a used
silver one from a Japan eBay seller going for $412AUD ($372 + $40 shipping).
So my price seems more than fair for this rare gem. Unlike my current other sales this one is currently not up on eBay yet, I shall hold off for a week or two before listing there.
Thanks for looking!
Bruce
PS UV Filter comes with, I doubt I'll ever find a 27mm thread use for it again
