Item Description
This lens was only sold with the early K1000 models. Your camera salesman could then point to a KM with more features and a "better" 55mm f1.8 lens. This lens has the same glass and design as its faster brother. It just has a ring installed just in front of the aperture blades so it only opens to f2.0. So this lens performs like a slightly stopped-down 55mm f1.8. It takes a 52mm filter like many "K" series lenses, and is bulkier than the M series. One of the best features of these 55mm lenses is the 270º rotation of the focus ring. Who cares about photos, just focusing is fun.
This particular lens has some cosmetic wear and paint loss. I think the purplish rim in front has been touched up with a black marker. The photos show other paint loss. The glass is fine, with no fungus, haze, scratches or other issues. The aperture ring clicks at all stops and the blades are snappy and oil-free. Focusing is very smooth through the range.
