Thanks for the question. I do not have a K-1 to test on but original owner listed that the lens had been to Sigma for modification of the mount and firmware. Screenshot of that listing attached. Side view of mount does show a beveled flange, which appears to be common to lenses with the modification. My other Sigma lenses have a flat mounting flange with no bevel from the screw holes to outer edge.

Item for Sale
Pentax SMC A 35-105 f3.5

Asking Price
80.00 USD - SOLD 1/17/20

Item Location
Oregon (United States)

Item Description
SMC Pentax-A 35-105mm F3.5 Reviews - A Zoom Lenses - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database

Bought used about 5 years ago but have not used beyond testing. Has a good zoom range, constant aperture and long focus throw for getting “dead on” shots. Shifts into macro mode by extending focus ring at 5 feet and rotating to the stop. A solid, smooth lens with a heft and quality that endures.

Optically and mechanically in very good to excellent condition. Still has the quality inspection sticker on body. Glass and blades clean. Focus and zoom are smooth and have just the right amount of dampened feel to hold position and give good feedback, with no sloppiness. Has Pentax caps front and rear. Front cap slightly loose compared to a new 67mm version. Including a screw-on collapsible rubber lens hood - no hood came with this lens back in the day.

My eyes have a hard time with manual focus these days but took the sample shot using the “in-focus” indicator and results look good to me. If you use a focus screen and/or practice manual focus, this lens looks to be a great option across the range.

Accept paypal. Will ship well-packaged and insured, by your preferred method, for actual cost. Contact me with your paypal shipping zip and I will price the options.

Have other lenses for sale in separate listings and will entertain offers for multiple purchases and will combine shipping. Thanks!

Item Description

Beautiful copy of a great lens in full working order. Bought used for a wedding shoot 1.5 years ago. Looked new when I got it and still looks new. Have used a few times for portrait shots and love it for all the things it is known for. It is well-balanced, smooth, sharp,fast, and a pleasure to use. In the process of reducing inventory and don't use enough, so letting it go.

Optically and mechanically in excellent condition. Glass and blades clean. Manual focus and zoom are smooth and have just the right amount of dampened feel to hold position and give good feedback, with no sloppiness. SDM works without hesitation and has produced great shots in still and moderate-speed action. I have been exercising focus by manually focusing to infinity or to min and then activate autofocus on a regular basis since buying. Has Pentax caps front and rear and the soft case.

Item Description
https://www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/sigma-17-70mm-f2-8-4-dc-macro-hsm-contemporary.html

Bought used from Japan 1.5 years ago. It was a clean and painless Ebay transaction with a highly rated seller at a time when there were no Contemporary models on the used market in US. Used on K-50 and K-3 to shoot a wedding with very nice results. Became my walk-around lens on K-3ii.

Fast and silent focus, fast, sharp and a handy range for zoom. Partners well with the Sigma 70-200 in separate listing to give lots of coverage. Really like the results I got from this lens (and the partner) but I have too many lenses and am letting it go.

Optically and mechanically in excellent condition. Glass and blades clean. Focus and zoom rings are smooth with no slop. Body in great shape and looks sharp. Hood installs/removes very nicely, with positive stops, and works as supposed to. Has Sigma front cap and rear cap.

Bought a new Sigma USB dock from Adorama to “tune” the lens but some focus adjust in the camera did all I needed. Installed and tested dock with lens – all works as supposed to and gives lots of options to update firmware and more. Nothing required at the time and have not checked since. Will sell dock with camera for $40 or list separately if it does not sell with the camera.

Also have some 72mm filters I will sell with the lens or separately after the lens is gone. Have Altura Circular Polarizer, UV filter and ND4 set with soft case. Filters look new. I don’t think CPL and the ND4 were ever used. Filters with the lens for $12. Will post in separate listing if lens sells without filters.

Accept paypal. Will ship well-packaged and insured, by your preferred method, for actual cost. Contact me with your paypal shipping zip andI will price the options.

Item Description
https://www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/sigma-70-200mm-f2-8-ex-dg-apo-macro-hsm-ii.html

Bought from a forum member about 8 months ago. They had Sigma modify the mount K-1 for use (will not scratch the camera mount) and the firmware updated to add compatibility with the K-1. I have not tested those aspects but lens worked beautifully on K-3ii. Quick and sure focus on even fast action. Fast, sharp and a joy to use. Solid in the hand with zoom and focus in easy position. Balances really well with K-3body. In the process of reducing inventory so letting it go.

Optically and mechanically in excellent condition. Glass and blades clean. Focus and zoom rings are smooth with no slop. Body has textured finish in great shape and looks sharp. Has Sensei front cap and Sigma rear cap, storage case with strap, and box. Hood installs/removes very nicely with positive stops. Lens collar rotates and removes. Has ¼”-20 hole for mounting a plate.

Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM

Asking Price

Oregon (United States)

Item Description
https://www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/sigma-150-500mm-f5-6-3-apo-dg-os-hsm.html

Bought from a forum member about 7 months ago. Used for wildlife and birds-in-flight shots. Focus can be on the slow side for fast motion but gave great results for still/slow action and did get some keepers on the fast stuff too (see samples). Could be operator error and settings, though… This version has Sigma optical stabilization modes (off, I and II). There are several threads discussing the merits of the lens vs body stabilization and use of the modes. I used mostly as hand held with the lens mode to off and in-camera stabilization to on.


A little soft at the long end and works better stopped down to f8-10 range. In the process of reducing inventory so letting it go. Is full-frame compatible image circle. Has not been sent to Sigma for K-1 mount and firmware modifications. I have only used on K-3ii.

Optically and mechanically in very good to excellent condition. Glass and blades clean. Focus and zoom rings are smooth with no slop. Zoom lock at 150mm is so-so and sometimes slips out of engagement. Lens does creep when holding front-down, as noted for many (all?) heavy zoom lenses. Lens collar is removable and has ¼”-20 holes for mounting a plate. Collar rotates around and is very handy at top of lens as a handle for removing from a case or carrying. Has Sigma caps front and rear and storage case with strap. Hood installs/removes very nicely with positive stops. Includes LensCoat cover as shown.
