good deal or not?

Hello Pentaxians!
I have heard a lot of you prise the takumar lenses, so i will give it a try.

I have been offered this for 45$:

One pentax Spotmatic good shape
Super-Takumar 1:19/85
Elicar Automatic 1:35 f = 200mm
Super-Takumar 1:35/35
Super-Takumar 1:1.8/55
and some converter rings +one flash+ One little tripod in metal.

Is this a good deal for all those stuffs?

Best regards Emil

The Super Taks (To me, anyway), would be worth the $45, if they're fungus free and the lenses aren't scratched or yellowed.

If the Spottie works (better if it's been CLA'd recently), would be worth it too.

I'd say that's certainly more than a fair deal.

Thank you guys!

I bought it and everything seams to be in perfect shape

I looked up the total prise of all this in a secound hand photo store in sweden and they wanted like 400$ for all those stuffs exept the flash and converter rings and the tripod.

I feel sorry for the guy...It feels almost like that i tricked him. He had those stuffs fromhis dad that had died and he didn't even know was screw-mount was, or pentax!!

So im very happt with that deal! Thank you once again for ur responses guys!

Great deal. The 85 alone is a much coveted lens, worth at least 4 times the price you paid for the entire lot.

Are you kidding? The Tak 85 1.9 alone is worth at least $200 (if no fungus or cleaning marks)
