This is the second least expensive price I've seen for this lens in good condition since it ended up on my LBA radar.

Maybe you can talk them down to the price of a recent auction: Pentax SMC A* star 135mm f 1.8 - eBay (item 320539126522 end time May-27-10 07:04:28 PDT)

It looks to be mint, but still.

A couple of years ago they went for about $1300 - $1400.

Is it really worth it? For the price, one could buy either a Nikon or Canon body with 135/2 AF lens. The old Nikkor 135/2 goes for 1/3 of this price. The fact that Pentax doesn't make a new 135mm really distorts the used lens market.

I dont know if it's worth it, mine is in the mail. My point is to make them an offer based on the other sale

too expensive. And manual focus is a torture.
