Tokina AF 370 II 35 70mm F3 5 4 6 Minolta Nikon Pentax | eBay

This is badly listed, it lookes exactly like mine, and I do believe it's the Pentax mount. I can't be sure, but I think it is.

Regardless, this is comparable to the FA 35-70. Very sharp, very nice lens. Doesn't focus quite as close as the Pentax, and it hunts a little in low light, but it's still a damn fine lens.

How can you tell it's in Pentax mount? Anyway, I'd not buy anything from an ebayer with less than 99.5% positive feedback. This person has little and not so good feedback. But maybe I'm too prudent.

The damage is mentioned in the comments. 98.5% positive feedback is perfectly fine. To put it into perspective, 98% positive is 49 positive feedback ratings out of 50 sales.

I'd buy this lens if I had any use for it.

The lens is Minolta/Sony A mount...

That having been said, if you look at the specifics on this seller, apparently he has on several occasions done a bad job packing items and hasn't responded to any of his negative feedbacks, so it's worth being aware. Also, it appears the filter ring is damaged on this particular lens, which is not mentioned..

The tone of the seller's responses is appalling.

Based on his replies... definitely a seller I would avoid...

Oh yea and I doubt that's a k-mount...

At least they removed Nikon and Pentax from the listing...
