I've got a few items on Ebay right now. Check: eBay Seller: islandguy1961: Lenses Filters, Film Cameras items on eBay.com Just selling a few things that don't see much use since they've been replaced with other items etc. If anyone wants to buy them directly I'll end the auction and sell it from here. Just make me an offer via PM here. Shipping is on each listing. Since I have a day job that takes me away from the computer (sometimes for long hours) I may not respond the same day you email.

100mm Sold thanks Panache

As for the 100mm there have been several threads as to the quality of that lens. I've had one for some time (bought new for my PZ-1p) and it takes very good pictures. Both for portrait stuff (although a little long on a DSLR) and quite sharp macros. A few examples below. I was always happy with the results. I've tried (borrowed) the Pentax version and with the exception of the cosmetics and SMC coating, it's exactly the same. There are some sample pics from the lens posted below.

TRIPOD SOLD - Thanks Matt!

Also (not listed on Ebay yet). Manfrotto 290 tripod with 3047 head (like the 3030 but slightly longer/slimmer handles) and quick release plate. The Tripod is in near perfect condition although it shows use. The head is the same and has a slight modification. On one side there was a silver painted disk that has the graduated leveling scale. Over time the silver paint wore off, so I removed all the silver paint. I then repainted the scale with white acrylic paint. The result was easier to see, particularly in lower light. This version (290 legs) does not have the leg locks that allow it to get right down on the ground. I found it even more solid as a result. It does get down to about 18" though. The head is smooth and strong and also features 2 bubble levels. Nice large QR plate for a solid mount. I'm selling it only because I've added a taller (6ft vs 9 foot) tripod to my bag 'o toys and have a Manfrotto 190. So this one sees no use anymore.
ASKING: $150 + shipping. I expect the shipping to Canada and the USA will be about $30 ground (weight/size) and the rest of the world should be about $50.

PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE. But another payment type could be considered.

Here's a couple of sample pics from the lens. Also a pic of the underside of the QR plate from the tripod head.

How much for the macro lens sir?

Peter Zack · 07-17-2007, 04:59 AM

I'd like to get around $125.00 or so since it has the 1:1 ( life size) matched filter included. Many of these sell around $100 without the macro lens filter which makes the lens a 1:2 (half life size). Make me a reasonable offer.

Paypal only please.

Hmmm... plus shipping... let me think about this...

Peter Zack · 07-17-2007, 05:25 AM

A few pics of the lens.

Peter Zack · 07-17-2007, 04:10 PM

I response to a couple of PM's the blades are clean and the glass is fungus and mould free also no scratches at either end. Also the shipping is via AIr parcel.
