For Sale - Sold: SMC A 50mm f1:1.2 in near mint condition. Some Taks too (35/2 105/2.8 135/3.5)

Peter Zack · 08-15-2009, 09:22 AM

After some internal debating I've decided to sell my SMC A 50mm f1.2 (the A series fastest fifty) and a few Taks.

The lens is in near new condition with perfect outer shell, glass, aperture blades etc. Nothing wrong with it in any way. If I had the box, you think it had never been used.

Comes with original caps front and rear.

SOLD including free shipping to Canada and the USA. $15.00 extra to ship to Europe and $20 WW.

I'll try to post some pics of the lens tonight but rest assured it's in perfect shape.

I will leave this up until Sunday night. Purchase is certainly subject to me loading some pictures of the lens for your inspection. FCFS. On Monday, if there are no takers, It goes on Ebay. Last one to sell there was $599.00 which is about the going rate and I think my price is more than fair with free shipping.

I have some Taks to sell and can't post images of those till either late Sunday night or Monday.

S-M-C 105 f2.8 with hood (metal) caps and case SOLD including free shipping to Canada and the USA. $15.00 extra to ship to Europe and $20 WW.

Super Multi Coated 135mm f3.5 with hood (metal) caps and case $75.00 USD including free shipping to Canada and the USA. $15.00 extra to ship to Europe and $20 WW.

Super Takumar* 35mm f2 with hood (metal) caps and case $150.00 USD including free shipping to Canada and the USA. $15.00 extra to ship to Europe and $20 WW. * Slightly earlier version of the SMC coatings. Still does a great job of controlling flare and has nice contrast. The PHOTOS in this post were all taken with this lens. Honestly of the 4 on this thred I'll miss this lens the most. Being so fast, it's easy to focus in low light as well.

UPDATE If you want both the 135mm and the 35mm. I'll sell them together for $200 USD including free shipping to Canada and the USA. $15.00 extra to ship to Europe and $20 WW.

All three of these are in excellent shape.

There might be a couple others and I'll update later.

PAYPAL only although Canucks can pay by bank transfer and I'll cut a little off the price for the saved fees from PP.

Thanks

A few pics of the 50mm f1.2 which I have with me. The Taks are at home and that's 300 Kms away. I'll post those tomorrow night.

I'm drooling as I see the photos...

**Rorschach** · 08-15-2009, 11:53 PM

I am tempted by the A 50mm f1.2...however, and fortunately for my budget, I just bought an K 50mm f1.2 so I'll pass this one.

OrenMc · 08-16-2009, 04:43 AM

If I hadn't of just purchased the 31 limited I would have taken this one for sure.

Pentaxor · 08-16-2009, 10:05 AM

free bump. for those who are having second thoughts on whether to buy or not to buy this lens, here is just a sample on what to expect from the A 50 1.2 version.

zzbao · 08-16-2009, 10:45 AM

Sorry Peter, has nothing against you but I just withdrew my interest. I've had good experience so far with the marketplace, but recently I've been conned by another seller. I received the lens (pentax F 17-28mm) couldn't even do auto focus. What a shame the seller promoted it as like new, and he's 20 good score...

many people, myself included can vouch for Peter due to direct business. if Peter says it is in a certain condition, you can expect it to be just as described without any worries of getting scammed. Peter is an honest and very reputable seller, and person in general. you shouldn't worry about purchasing from Peter. sorry to hear about your troubles though.

**Kerrowdown** · 08-16-2009, 11:33 AM

Peter, are you sure about selling the 50?

I've got one which wild horses couldn't seperate me from.

If you have an interest in this lens but you are fearful of sellers here, you may explicitly trust Peter Zack. Not only will the lens be better than it is described, if you feel it isn't I'd bet Peter would take it back without questions.

Fear not, if you want the lens.

zzbao · 08-16-2009, 12:56 PM

Peter,

Sounds like you're really reputable among the Pentaxforumers here. I just got word from seller of 17-28mm lens and he's going to take it back.

I just sent you the payment we agreed upon.

Sorry for all the confusions.

**rparmar** · 08-16-2009, 03:35 PM

I am glad that worked out between you. I was once stung for a fair bit of money, which I never recovered. But that hasn't stopped me from trusting others, and even helping others build trust by being one of the first people they deal with.

I refuse to let one or two scoundrels blight my view of humanity.

Peter Zack · 08-17-2009, 03:35 AM
