i would love to get the 105
!! Are you willing to split up?

davekoch · 01-30-2009, 03:30 PM

I'm looking at KEH site, and they're asking $165 for the 105mm, ~$80 for the 28mm, and ~$40 for the 50mm. Are these fair market values? I believe these prices correspond to the condition of my lenses.

if you split the package up i would be intrested in the 28mm Tak

**sureshgvv** · 01-30-2009, 04:35 PM

If you split the package, i wud be intrested in teh flash and teleconverter

davekoch · 01-30-2009, 06:41 PM

I've been informed by a very nice forum member that the KEH site pricing is on the high side. So....

105mm - $80
28mm - $50
50mm - $40

Are these fair market values? Again, I'm not looking to gouge anyone, just get a fair price that we can both live with.

How about prices for:
Vivitar Zoom Thyristor 285 Flash - $??
Vivitar Teleconvertor 2X-1- $??
Asahi Pentax Spotmatic body (it has the the letters SP between the rewind knob and the prism) - $??

What would it cost to ship a 105mm to LA?
I'm going through Hell with UPS, so I won't use them again. So probably FED EX.

I took $200 for all three. They were in very good shape, according to the buyer, a very nice local young man. We're both happy, I believe.

Yes! The 50 1.4 had a good deal of yellowing, but that's usually fixable with the UV treatment, and the 105 had some noticeable dust, but again, not out of the ordinary for a Tak.

I did get a look at that Vivitar 200 f/3.5 also - it's a Komine lens (ala series-1,) and it's in exceptional shape. Very shiny & new-like. I used to own one of those, and they are exceptional, sharp, great contrast. Basically a screw-mount Vivitar series-1, highly recommended.

I second JSHERMAN's comments - the Vivitar 3.5/200 is a nice lens. I prefer it to the DA 50-200 at that focal length. They're not uncommon on *ebay. One of these days, I'll get a comparison done between the Vivitar, a SuperTac 4/200 and the DA 50-200.
