I've just purchased a new lens (Tamron 10-24mm) and I'm in graduate school, so I have to let these go so my bank account can recover and I can pay my bills..
These are all great lenses and have treated me well, but I've found I mostly shoot on the very wide or very telephoto end of things, so I'm upgrading to the Tamron I just mentioned for the wide end, and selling my previous 'wide' lens, and others I can live without.
Pentax DA 16-45mm f/4.0: $280 + $10 shipping
This lens is in almost perfect shape, the only thing distinguishing it from new are very light wear marks on the hood from mounting/unmounting/storing it. It includes original caps and hood. I will also be including three Zeikos 67mm filters: Circular Polarizer, UV, and FLD, as well as a small 3-filter carrying pouch. I bought these brand new a month ago, but won't have any 67mm lenses after this is gone. I love this lens and the pictures I've taken with it; the minimum focusing distance is very short, and I love the color rendition and sharpness. I wish it was in my budget to keep it, and once I graduate and have a steady job I will definitely be looking to pick another up.
Pentax F 50mm f/1.7: $235 + $8 shipping
Another lens I would love to keep, but I have a manual focus 'fast fifty' that can cover this lens's duty, and don't use this focal length often enough to justify keeping the lens. It is in excellent condition; The optics are clear and bright.The aperture blades are clean and the movement is smooth. The only issue is a small chip missing on the front hood that a filter screws into.This doesn't affect the lens's performance at all - filters still thread onto the lens, and I will be including a Tiffen 49mm UV filter with this lens, as well as both caps and the original box.
Samsung D-Xenon 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL: $75 + $10 shipping
This lens looks and performs like it's brand new. It takes great photos for a kit lens, and if I can't get the price I'm asking I will just keep it. Includes original box, caps, hood, and a 52mm UV filter.
I will have pictures of all three up by this weekend, I just wanted to see if there is any interest out there. Thanks for looking! I would be interested in a trade for a DA 55-300mm, and possibly a few other things, so don't hesitate to offer what you've got.
