I bought all of these lenses new. No focusing issue that I know of. Detailed reply in PM.
Thanks for the interest! ---------- Post added 03-03-2016 at 04:55 PM ----------
Nice shots!
Yes, it is an awesome list of lenses, if I do say so myself :cool: It took a few sleepless nights to finally decide to let them go. I shoot mostly MF film nowadays, and these lenses are not getting the use they deserve.

Just re-edited the thread. Attachments did not quite work the first time around. Sorry about that. ---------- Post added 03-02-2016 at 11:27 PM ---------- Uploaded picture of the scratch on the lens mount.

As a long time Pentaxican, I feel obligated to list these items here before going to Ebay. I'm not a professional photographer, just another enthusiast with little time to shoot but a severe G.A.S. problem. All of these lenses are full frame ready, optically like new. Some of them have seen very little use.
Reason to sell: down-sizing my gears (sticking to just Hasselblad 500cm and Ricoh GR II).
Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX HSM - $300 o.b.o. $250
Condition: Excellent. Impulse buy when I went through a macro phase. Used it very rarely after one summer.
Sigma 70-200mm II F2.8 EX HSM - $700 o.b.o. $650
Condition: Excellent. Bought it because I wanted to look pro, but used it for exactly twice, and left a scratch at the bottom of the tripod mount.
Ship to US lower 48 states only. Shipping is $15 per item including insurance. PM me if buying multiple items for a discount on shipping fees.
If you are in San Diego area, feel free to PM me if you'd like to check them in person.

I'm the complete opposite. I shoot A7 almost exclusively with Pentax glass. Even with an adapter, the 43mm is still quite small in comparison to Sony's native offers. And the performance of 77mm on A7 is just heart melting.

As a recent Sony A7 convert, and one who had invested in Pentax heavily, here's my reason: by moving to A7, I can no longer blame my own suckiness on camera body has the limiting factor.
For most of us enthusiasts, the gear is never, ever the limiting factor, but we love to say, 'oh, if I had so and so [body/lense], I would have gotten a good shot instead'. That's almost never true. I have long accepted that my dedication/creativity/techniques (or the lack of) are the real reasons my photos suck.
I think the same realization is why a lot of wiser folks contend with Pentax, with what they current have. But, moving to the full frame 'greatness', to me personally and mentally, is more of a motivation booster. I can no longer use the lazy excuse of having the cropped sensor, but instead go shoot and improve.

Echo @rrstuff, San Diego is not your ideal destination for Pentax gears. You'll have better luck driving up to LA.

Just received my 31mm 2 days ago from Henrys. Ordered a couple days before they jacked up the price from 950ish to 1400. Dodged that bullet ;)
That's a fat 50% price hike... man.
