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

I shall be putting this lens up on eBay in the next few days so if anyone wants to PM to discuss further then now is the time!

Wowza that lens looks great on the silver KP! If I didn't already have my trusty XS I'd be tempted

I'm still waiting for a sellers 'free fee' for eBay offer, so I still have this for sale. Happy to reduce to $280AUD!

IT may be silver, but IMO, that lens is pure gold.
