Need help and advice with repairing Pentax F 17-28 Fish-Eye
Posted By yb_abq

Hi, all:

I accidentally dropped my Pentax F 17-28 Fish-Eye and it kinda fell apart. Fortunately, the glass didn't break and It looks like it still can be repaired but I can't find any spare parts. I am thinking that If anyone has this lens with bad glass or some other issues but with good plastic parts I can probably use it as a donor to fix my lens. So I am looking for someone with a bad Pentax F 17-28 fish-eye who would be willing to help me out. Any other advice and information will be greatly appreciated.

I am attaching a few photos of the broken lens.

Thanks

Regarding the aperture ring stuck at 11 -- it is a relatively easy fix -- I have done it myself once.
There is a description on the forum, I believe here:

https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/maintenance-repair-articles/88051-pentax-...ng-repair.html

Hope it will help.

I found a generic rear cap and a front cap from Canon, which has a sign "Official 35mm camera 1984 Olympic Games". Looks kinda cool and fits just fine.

Another price drop -- now $40 shipped

Item Description
For sale is a nice copy of Promaster Spectrum 7 70-210/f4-5.6 zoom lens.

It is a bayonet mount, manual focus lens with "A" setting, so you have an automatic aperture option like, for example, on Pentax-A lenses. I got this lens as a part of an ebay purchase and since I already have 4 other 70-210 (I really should sell some of them) I do not have use for this Promaster. However, out of curiosity I tested it on my K100D super and surprisingly it turned out to be a very capable lens. Image quality is comparable with Pentax-A 70-210 while it's half the size and weight. It is definitely one of the most compact and light 70-210 zooms I have seen. It is fun to operate. Macro is 1:4.7 Filter size -- 52mm

The lens is in excellent condition. Glass is clear, no fungus, haze or scratches. Focusing works smoothly but it does have some zoom creep. Aperture works fine. Exteriors are in great shape. Just one or two numbers on the focusing barrel faded but still readable.

I have no caps, might find some generic ones

Price is $40 shipped Conus

Item Description
I have a Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro AF for Pentax in like new condition for sale or trade. It is a highly rated lens. You can read some reviews here:

PentaxForums.com Third-Party Pentax Lens Review Database - 90mm f/2.8 SP Di Macro

and here:

Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 Di SP macro (Pentax) - Review / Lab Test Report

It is a great autofocus lens specifically designed for digital cameras. It is fast (f2.8) and has a 1:1 Macro capability which makes it a prefect and versatile lens for portraits, indoor shots, and, of course, macro photography. The autofocus is fast enough, the build quality of the lens is excellent, it is compact and relatively light.

The lens is in Like New condition, essentially the same as if you buy it from a store. Needless to say that the glass is pristine, exteriors are immaculate, mechanics work flawlessly. The only thing that prevents me from posting it as MINT is that I do not have the box. I used it once or twice and realized that I am not too much into Macro photography.

The lens comes with both caps, the hood, the pouch, the manual and the warranty card. The lens was originally purchased on July 7, 2008. It is covered by Tamron's 6-year warranty. So about 4.5 years of warranty is left on the lens. I will enclose a copy of the original receipt.

I want to sell this lens for $390 + shipping or to trade it for Pentax-F 50/1.7 + $230.

I will add pictures later.

Item Description
For sale is a nice copy of Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm f/3.5 (version 1) made by Kiron.

It is a very well known, highly rated lens, the earliest in the line of series 1. It has a constant 3.5 aperture and a macro mode 1:2,2.

You can find detailed reviews and description of this lens at PentaxForums.com Third-Party Pentax Lens Review Database - Series 1 70-210mm f/3.5 (version1)
and at
Vivitar 70-210 Series 1 Macro Zoom Lenses - Mark Roberts Photography

This lens has a manual focus and it does not have an "A" setting. The mount is M42.

Serial # is 22419449.

The lens is in great condition. The glass is immaculate, no fog, fungus, haze or scratches. Only minimal dust inside. Mechanics work great, focus is very smooth, aperture clicks as it is should, I do not notice any zoom creep at all.

Interiors are very good for its age, only minimal, almost unnoticeable brassing on the aperture ring.

The only reason that prevents me from rating the lens as being in excellent condition is that the previous owner made some tiny notches on the face plate, obviously to be able to take it off. They are so small that I noticed them only a couple of days ago. Otherwise the lens is in a great shape.
The lens comes with rear and front caps but the letters on the front cap (Vivitar Series 1) are a little scratched off.

Price is $59.99
Shipping is $12.50 to CONUS

Item for Sale
Zorki-5 Rangefinder Camera with Two Lenses

Asking Price
$65

Item Description
For sale is a nice copy of Zorki-5 rangefinder camera. It was made in the late 1950s in Russia and as far as I know was copied from Leica.

The camera is in good/excellent condition. The body shows some normal signs of age but no major scratches, dings or blemishes. All functions work as they should with no problem. The camera comes with two lenses. The first is Industar 50 mm/F3.5. I read somewhere that it is similar to Zeiss Tessar. The second lens is Jupiter-8 50mm/F2.0 which is a copy of Zeiss Sonnar. Both lenses are screw mount M39. Both are in great condition -- glass has no scratches, fog, haze or fungus, mechanics work perfectly, blades have no oil. The Industar lens has some slight paint wear, the Jupiter is immaculate.

The camera comes with original leather case.

Item for Sale
SMC Pentax-M 50/2.0

Asking Price
$15

Item Description
For sale is SMC Pentax-M 50/2.0 prime in good condition.

The lens looks great: exteriors are immaculate, no scratches, dents, blemishes, focus is very smooth, blades have no oil, glass has no scratches, aperture settings work fine.

The only thing that I noticed is some really minimal stuff on the edges of the glass. I think it might be a very light sign of fungus at its very beginning. Anyways, I tested the lens thoroughly and I did not see any effect on the image quality.

To avoid any dissatisfaction you are free to send the lens back for refund minus potage if it appears that it is not what you expected. I think 3-4 days will be enough to decide.
