Ok.
A few days ago a fellow Pentaxian posted this on the price watch:
https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-price-watch/215195-bnib-28mm-f2-8-...6-shipped.html
So I bought one for the lofty sum of $16 shipped.
It arrived today, And here are some initial thoughts and silly samples.....
It is small, like a M 50 2, All metal it seems and labeled "Japan" (if that means glass made there or the whole thing, I dont know)
Focus ring is smooth and stops click in nicely.
No Auto/Manual option so you compose wide open and then meter at your chosen aperture.
Looks like 5 blades in there.
Came packed in a white box, Styrofoam inserts. Well packed.
Next are some samples, I did not get outside yet but I will update as I shoot more.
Starting with a image of the lens itself.
(all images are straight out camera Jpegs, No PP.)
As I said, More later and hopefully other people who bought this cheap thing will show some as well.
Any questions feel free to ask.
