Scored a soligor 105 2.8 the other day. Tiny thing with 46mm filter thread. Preset and nice to use. M42. Spot the ca on the passenger side horn (Actually a bit harder to see in the downsized image). Contrast alrite for uncoated. lens fully open for this old hairbag.
This is gorgeous. Sharp but with a lovely transition to OOF area. That lens is a keeper !

It seems a little strange-- the fence rail is just behind the calf and well oof. The Macrocarpa is about 150 metres away and not greatly more blurred.

Pete, I had it figured that you had one or two SDM's as you could work out the risks, know the lenses, and be prepared to live that possibility as a trade off for some excellent glass

Clearly, i got that wrong....
I did tell a slight lie as the Sigma 8-16 seems to be doing it with its own wee motor.
Quiet and slowish. I got the 5 year warrenty for it. Pentax could learn from Sigmas guarantees...

Sorry had a hiccup there, just started relisting properly with photos: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/photographic-equipment-sale/224486-sale-p...ml#post2382356

Going to get a Fujifilm X100s. Love the Pentax set up but can't argue with a pocket-sized, silent and fast 35mm equivalent with big optical viewfinder. Sure I'll miss the Pentax sometimes and the 31mm, but can't afford to run both...

What happened to the flash, orbis, etc?

PM-ed you.

A few bits and bobs I'll also be selling:
- A Pentax off-camera flash cord
- D-LI90 battery and charger (both genuine Pentax)
- K-7 body
And that Hoya 58mm HD UV filter is currently listed with the 31mm as it's the right size for that, but selling it separately too.

Wish I had the money to just pick up the Fuji and keep the Pentax stuff, but unfortunately not. Bit of a trade off really.
If Pentax come out with a 24mm f/2 I might buy back in...

Question: What do people think is a fair price for a K-7 body? Working well but used with 60k photos taken. Can't find any reference to how much people would buy it for...
