PentaxForums.com Marketplace Listing Item for Sale
SMC Pentax DA 35mm Macro Ltd.
Asking Price
150.00 USD
Item Location
Massachusetts (United States)
Item Description
This is the SMC (original) version of the 35 mm macro limited.
Cosmetically and mechanically the lens is in excellent condition. The cap has a little of the paint rubbed off, and there are a few little scuffs on the lens body. Lens focuses properly as it should. Filter threads are good, and slide-out hood works as intended.
The lens comes with its original box and little leather bag.
The reason for the "Damaged" condition is that there is some residue on the inside of the front element. I don't see any affect on image quality, and in fact, it was probably there for a while before I even noticed it (which didn't happen until I started taking pictures to prepare to sell it).
In an effort to be transparent, I raised this problem for discussion here last week. You can see others' opinions on what the problem is, and how it could be fixed. After some reflection, I decided not to attempt the repair myself, and sell it as-is.

My asking price is a significant discount from the going rate of a lens with good glass. So if you've wanted one of these but it was outside your budget, this might be a good opportunity for you.
