Wanted - Acquired: Pentax 645 FA 80-160 F/4.5 lens

**OldChE** · 02-03-2022, 09:48 PM

Interested in replacing my A 80-160 manual focus lens with the autofocus FA version for my Pentax 645N. Would like the lens, in good working and cosmetic condition, with original PH-RBF77 hood and front and rear caps. Please let me know if you have one to sell, price, and approximate shipping to Illinois. Thanks! - Richard.

Thanks, I didn't think to check there. But $900 is way more than I wanted to spend. I was thinking more in the $180 - $210 range, based on my analysis of recent ebay sold prices.

That one does look good. Thanks very much for posting this, as I don't regularly go to the Fred Miranda site.

This is the used branch of Robert's Camera in Indianapolis. I've bought & sold with them for years. It's manual focus only though, but thought it might be worth a looksee.

No, as I said in the original post, "Interested in replacing my A 80-160 manual focus lens" - I already own the SMC Pentax-A 645 80-160mm F4.5 lens. But thanks for the suggestion. In fact, I checked the Roberts (UsedPhotoPro.com) site as a first step before even posting here, as I've purchased some nice lenses and cameras from them in the past. I also checked KEH, another good source.

Update: Thanks for the suggestions. I received yesterday a very nice copy of the 645 FA 80-160, including Pentax front/rear caps and original hood, from Midwest Photo, through their ebay listing. They were asking for $295 with free shipping, but I offered them $200, and they took it. The lens looks to be in excellent shape, with just some slight rubbing on the barrel, and it works fine on my 645n, so I feel I got a good deal. I'm going to mark this as "acquired."
