The price is not cheap, but I know there are a few members here who collect F* lenses and this one doesn't come up for sale very often. I don't know anything about the seller.
[RARE Optics MINT] PENTAX SMC-F * 600mm F4 ED IF Lens W/Front cover From Japan | eBay

Also, I wish eBay sellers knew what "mint" means.

"Optics mint" haha. That is pretty steep for an otherwise well-worn lens.

Has "tiny fungus" ever done anything to image quality? Ever?
(not mentioned in this sale, but it's a line i see often)

"Optics appear ok at first glance" would be more honest. Still, a true rarity.

I don't know that it's worth $5,000 in that condition but surely it merits a fairly high price. It's a rare lens with superb quality.

One of my "favorite" meaningless ratings is MINT+ or any of the variants like MINT+++. Yup, it's even better than before it left the factory!!!!
