HD Pentax FA 35mm F2.0 Amazon Warehouse $207.53

HD Pentax FA 35mm F2.0 Amazon Warehouse $207.53 · 06:40 PM

Just spotted a 'Used Very Good' HD Pentax 35mm F2.0 in the Amazon Warehouse for $207.53:
amazon.com : HD PENTAX-FA35mmF2 Versatile Wide-Angle Lens Latest HD Coating minimizes Flare and Ghost SP Coating to Repel Stains New Exterior Design Hybrid aspherical Lens for Extra-Clear, high-Contrast Images : Camera & Photo?tag=pentaxforums-20&
Sold by Amazon Warehouse and shipped by Amazon, so returns should not be a problem. If I did not already have the older SMC version I, would be very tempted.

Well that didn't last long, now showing 'temporarily out of stock'. Hopefully someone here picked it up.

Thought about it ... but didn't pull the trigger

Thanks for the tip! Lens arrived in an ugly box, but appears unused, no signs of fingerprints or anything. The makeover is nicer than the 90s original, focus ring is smooth and actually has a bit of feel to it. Optically really nice, minimal to non-existent glare. A lil soft at f/2, great by 2.8; super sharp after that. Dead stop at infinity even!

Glad to hear the lens itself is in great condition, both physically and optically. Thanks for providing the feedback and enjoy your new lens.

It's a really great little lens, enjoy

Great deal.

**Biff** · 04-16-2021, 07:54 AM

Yeah, great price. Wish I watched Amazon open box more often. Lens is $350 open box right now at Ricoh site.

The Amazon warehouse appears to have another copy described as "used very good" listed for $201.52:

Again, shipped and sold by Amazon, so returns should not be a problem.

Thanks, I just ordered it.

**Kevin B123** · 04-23-2021, 01:27 PM

That's a great price

. They are never around when I'm looking, but I have a used FA version, still nice to have.

Glad to hear it went to someone here. Hopefully it turns out to be as good a copy as Kayakfari received.

I picked up the "as-new" SMC K 55 f/2 they had, $37. Couldn't resist, looks like a sweet lens, great reviews, and I don't mind manual focus at all.

That seems like an odd lens to be in the Amazon warehouse. Was it actually sold and fulfilled by Amazon or a third party vendor?

Looks like sold by "Blue Penn," fulfilled by Amazon. Just looked and there are 3 on regular Amazon, slightly higher price.

Great 50mm equivalent for new K 3
