Is this a good deal??

It better be, because I picked it up today!

Pentex SF1 35 mm Camera

It included the Pentax SF1, a Takumar 70-210mm zoom lens, a Access Tempo 28-70mm lens, and most importantly a Pentax AF 1.7x Teleconverter.

So, how did I do? Anybody want a SF1 and a couple of lenses??

Wow, I paid like $430.00 or so for that same converter. maybe it was $330.00...What ever it was, it was more than $100.00

I paid US$400 for my AF 1.7X converter in the Marketplace forum, and considered it a fair price. The converter was mint, and thanks to some help on another thread, got it working with my M 400/5.6. I saw one recently for a bit less in that forum.

The converter is worth way more than the cost of admission on that one. I never liked the SF series of cameras, but the glass you got is certainly worth what you paid, and then some.

Thanks guys! I got the SF1 and the lenses cleaned up today and am looking for some more info on these items. Does anyone know what the value of a SF1 is now a days? Also I have started threads about the lenses ove in the SLR lens forum. Any info that anyone can give me would be of great help. Thanks everyone!
