Pentax FA* 28-70/2.8 AF
Asking Price
£530

Worldwide
Item Description
I’m selling my Pentax SMC FA* 28-70/2.8 AL Auto Focus Lens after five wonderful years of use.
This is my second sale on here after selling my FA* 200/2.8 last year, but finances dictate. It’s basically had no use in the last two years, so the decision has been taken.
I cannot emphasis the quality and practicality of this lens enough, the colour reproduction and light qualities are absolutely top end. I am not a Pentax expert (although all my gear is Pentax) but I’m sure other people on this forum will agree that it is regarded as one of the greatest ever pentax lenses, and arguably the best of their variable length lenses. Actually not far off matching the quality of primes.
The lens itself is in really excellent condition, with absolutely no issues mechanically. This lens features power zoom but in the interests of being totally honest and forthright I cannot 100% confirm its working as my digital body ist D does not support the feature.
Its been lovingly cared for, serviced periodically, and had little to no use (absolutely no exposure to the elements) in the last 2-3 years. It has just four noticeable marks on the metal, and a few more on the lens hood where the silver paint has rubbed. In my view these are only noticable on close inspection.
You will see in the photos the front and rear glass is perfect.
Includes main lens hood and front and rear lens caps. Sorry but no box. Lens was serviced by Pentax in 2006 with all my other equipment.
£530 reduced from £600. priced to sell.
Buyer to pay postage and any paypal or other fees. Would prefer to meet up but ok to post to Europe and possibly further afield, but payment would therefore need to be done via paypal. Will not ship to Africa etc. Collection would be either Central London or Cambridge.
I will attempt to upload any pictures taken with the lens shortly. Excuse the crap pics, taken with little digi camera!
Please contact me for any further questions.
I am also selling a Pentax *ist D which I used with it, with a Pentax D-BG1 Battery Grip (worth £35 used) £230 on its own or £190 if bought with lens.
Thanks, Christopher

FYI: I have just found out (well last week actually) it was my 28-70 FA that had the fault, but both lenses went in for servicing together. The 200 is, and has always been, faultless. Sorry for the misinformation. Chris

I've managed to find some recent used prices for this lens after some long, hard searching (only two came up it seems the whole of 2008 to my knowledge) which I was unable to before, and have corrected the used price i'm expecting to receive accordingly. Appreciate some of your messages on the subject, it is my intention to offer this lens at the appropriate market value, which i think i have reached now, and have updated the initial posts. Also the condition of this lens falls between fair/good.
Thanks, Chris

Additional info if required: Works 100% on all K mount cameras including all Pentax digital cameras - *ist D, DS, DS2, DL, DL2, K100D, K110D & K10D.
I've used this lens less than 10 times in total in the last 3-4 years, always in the dry, and is unused since its service from pentax in 2006. Glasses and body are all perfect, aside from the aforementioned scratches on the silver paintwork.
Price corrected to current market value of approx £550
Pictures of the lens now added here, and two further ones taken showing its performance in two very different situations. I've heavily compressed them to fit on here obviously.

Pentax SMCP-FA 200mm f/2.8 IF
Asking Price
£550 OVNO
Item Description
Hello,
Long time lurker, first time poster on this board. Been an amateur photographer for 10 years and have always used Pentax.
I've decided the time has come to sell my massively cherished Pentax SMCP-FA 200mm f/2.8 IF Lens. In my opinion one of the best telephoto lenses ever made.
I've had it since new, and it was extensively serviced by pentax thoroughly two years ago after developing a small problem. It's in good condition but has a few small scratches (about 3 noticeable ones on the body, one or two on the hood) which happen with all Pentax's silver lenses because of the colour. It's in perfect working order, complete with the hood and rear cap.
Annoyingly i threw the boxes for all my pentax stuff out last year, but might be able to find the repair invoice or even sales invoice somewhere.
As i'm sure you all know it's basically the non digital version of the newer 200mm 2.8 pro model pentax have out - the DA - but I feel the FA is much better looking, with a better colour profile output in my opinion and metal lens hood, generally better construction, and a slightly slimmer profile. It also has an aperture ring unlike the DA and possibly most importantly, can be used in digital or film bodies equally well.
I'm sure you are aware how rare these lenses are. I'm gutted to be letting it go but times change. I'm looking for the lens to go to a good home to someone on here. Best closest offer to the £550 mark takes the lens.
Collection can be from central London or Cambridge. More than welcome to pop by for a test in London, I'm in Islington. I will upload some pics I've taken with it on here in due course.
Best, Chris
