Updates for sales and pending item. Also noted bags and boxes which I located. Thanks for the purchase bjstirling!

Updated: I decided to use a new Zeiss lens cleaner on the lens, and I'll be darned, but the spots cleaned right off. I'm not going to change the price, but the lens looks amazing.

First 3 orders already shipped out! Thanks for your purchases!

Pentax DA* 55/1.4 SDM $350, shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

Attachment 631968

Focusing smooth, SDM fully functional, glass clean. Everything working as it should.

Original front and back caps. If you purchase, I'll try to find the box and bag but no promises.



Pentax HD DA 15mm F4 Limited - $240 USD, shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

Attachment 631962

This was a purchase mistake. I barely used this lens before the K-1 arrived and everything went to full frame.

Original front and back caps. If you purchase, I'll try to find the box and bag but no promises.



Pentax DA 20-40mm f/2.8-4 ED Limited - $270.00 USD, shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

Attachment 631963

The story of this lens is that while at Disney World, my then 3 or 4 year old kiddo who was fighting against taking a stroller nap and swiped my camera off the bench it was sitting on, and onto the concrete.

1' fall or no, you can see the lens hood took a hit and is a bit dinged up. It still accepts filters, as the screw on hood was damaged. The zoom between 30 and 35mm requires more pressure to turn than it used to. No grinding, just tension.

Everything is functional, just the damage to the hood and the tension during zooming. On account of this I've set the price low and the condition at Poor.


Pentax DA* 50-135 f2.8 - $340.00 USD, shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

Attachment 631971

This lens was always in my bag and often on my camera. I purchased it new, and I've taken it all around the world. It (and the 16-50) went everywhere.

This lens has had no SDM problems that I can recall. It has always had the SDM squeak, but no failure or slowness.

I can maybe see a speck of dust or two looking through the lens, glass is clean, no haze, no fungus. Focus is smooth. Autofocus is quick. Aperture snappy.

In one of the pics, you can see a close-up of the mount for the hood. The very tip of the plastic separated from the barrel and I used superglue to re-attach. It's spent years like this without trouble, but you can see the repair.

Original front and back caps and hood. Bag and box included.



Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM ART Lens for Pentax - $430 USD, shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

Attachment 631973

I purchased this Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Lens for Pentax from B&H.

I used it probably 30 times, but I've moved to full frame and no longer need it. I really wish that Sigma made this in FF instead.

Lens is pristine, with maybe one scuff on the hood.

Glass is clean, no haze, no fungus. Focus is smooth. Zoom is smooth. Autofocus is quick. Aperture snappy.

Comes with original hood, front cap, back cap. Bag included, no box.

Pentax FA 31mm F1.8 Limited, MIJ. - $325 USD, shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

Attachment 631965

I never confirmed if this serial number is low enough to have the leaded glass. If you're interested, you'll need to research.

Lens has dust inside consummate to its age, otherwise glass is clean, no haze, no fungus. Focus is smooth. Autofocus is quick. Aperture snappy.

There are some scratches on the outside of the hood and a couple of scuffs on the barrel.

Comes with the original hood, front cap, back cap.


Rare Pentax FA 43mm f1.9 Limited - MIJ, Low serial number 0006661 - $400 USD, shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

Attachment 631966

This is the highly sought after Pentax 43mm with leaded glass and/or different coatings. Note the blue tinge to the reflective qualities of the glass.

Lens has dust inside consummate to its age, otherwise glass is clean, no haze, no fungus. Focus is smooth. Autofocus is quick. Aperture snappy.

There are some marks on the inside of the hood, and some markings on the rear mount (both pictured).

Comes with original hood, front cap, back cap.


Pentax DA* 16-50mm F2.8 (Screw drive converted) - $230 USD, shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

Attachment 631977

This lens was always in my bag and often on my camera. I purchased it new, and I've taken it all around the world.

It went to Pentax warranty service for SDM failure 3 times. On the 4th failure, I converted it to a screw-drive. Since then the focus has been substantially faster and more accurate.

I can maybe see a speck of dust or two looking through the lens, glass is clean, no haze, no fungus. Focus is smooth. Autofocus is quick. Aperture snappy.

Original front and back caps and hood. Bag and box included.

Pentax FA* 28-70/2.8 - $280 USD, shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

Attachment 631969

I purchased this on the forums in 2012. Pentax FA28,FA50(1.7),FA*28-70,DA70 - PentaxForums.com

Used some but not a ton. It's a great lens, and still works as good today as when I bought it. I've upgraded and no longer need it.

The Power Zoom on this lens works and is snappy.
Zoom has one "hiccup" around 45mm, but works ok.
Manual focus is smooth. Screw drive focus is snappy.
Barrel and hood show signs of use.

Dust is visible in the lens, but never impacted my image quality. No scratches, no mold, no haze.

Generic back cap. Pentax front cap as pictured. Hood as pictured.


Sigma 8-16mm for Pentax K - $300 USD, shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

Attachment 631972

The no longer made, Sigma 8-16mm for Pentax K

This was my favorite lens for photographing the thermal features in Yellowstone. I've since upgraded and no longer need this lens.

Edit: If you're revisiting this part, the dots cleaned off the lens front element with Zeiss lens cleaner.

Glass is clean, no haze, no fungus. Focus is smooth. Autofocus is quick. Aperture snappy.

There are some scratches on the outside of the hood and a couple of scuffs on the barrel.

Comes with the original hood, front cap, back cap. Bag and box included.


Pentax-M 50/1.4 - $35 shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

Attachment 631967

This lens is missing its filter ring (as pictured). I haven’t a clue why. It takes great images, everything is fully functional, it’s just missing the filter ring.

Glass is clean. No marks that I can see. Some small dust inside. Smooth focus.

Note this is the M version, not the A version. Included is a front push on cap and a generic back cap. No box or bag.


Pentax-A 28/2.8 - $40 shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

Attachment 631964

Glass is clean. No marks that I can see. Some small dust inside. Focus slightly tight at close end.

Filter ring has a small nick in it as pictured, and the black ring around the glass has what appears to be cleaning marks.

Included is a Pentax front cap (missing one side of push clip) and a generic back cap. No box or bag.


Pentax-M 50/1.7 - $35 shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

Attachment 631970

A piece of history, the Pentax-M 50/1.7 lens. Glass is clean. No marks that I can see. Some small dust inside. Smooth focus.

Note this is the M version, not the A version. Included is a used front cap and a generic back cap. No box or bag.


Metz 58-AF-1 Flash - $80 shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase.

Attachment 631974

I purchased this new. Super powerful flash, working well, just replaced with a Pentax OEM one. Box, shoe, and manual included.

Tamron- F 1.4X PZ AF MC4 Teleconverter, $100 shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase.

This TC works with some SDM + screw mount and communicates the original lens information to the body. Look at the reviews in the lens database for more information. Original front cap, generic back cap. Box and paperwork included.

Tamron- F 2X PZ AF MC7 Teleconverter, $60 shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

This TC can power the SDM, but to be honest, I had trouble getting focus lock at 2x with my 2.8 glass. Screw mount works and communicates the original lens information to the body. Look at the reviews in the lens database for more information. Original front cap, generic back cap.

Quantaray 2X AF Teleconverter, $40 shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase.

Has pins to communicate SDM, but had trouble focusing SDM lenses through this TC. Screw mount works and communicates the original lens information to the body. Original front cap, generic back cap.

Pentax HD DA 1.4x teleconverter - $250 shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase
Hardly used 1.4x teleconverter. Not long after I bought it, I changed to full frame.


Everything working, original front and back caps. Bag and box included.


Sigma 1.4x APO EX DG teleconverter - $80 shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

Attachment 631975

Note the picture, there is an exceptionally small nick on the back lens. I can’t imagine that it could impact quality any more than dust, but you should know it’s there. Priced as “poor” condition. Everything working. Original front and back caps.


Sigma 2x APO EX DG teleconverter - $80 shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

Everything working. Original front and back caps. Box included.

(have 2) Pentax Camera Sling Bag - Backpack - $30 shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase


Used a bunch before LBA took over and I had too many lenses to fit in these. Everything working, a bit dusty.

Pentax Gadget Bag - $20 shipping Included, payment via paypal or venmo as standard purchase

Everything working. I probably used this once or twice. A bit dusty.

After reading all 19 pages of the how-to thread, I see nobody has quite figured out how to do this yet. I removed the text about it.

---------- Post added 07-18-2021 at 10:03 AM ----------

With the information that SDM can't be converted to screw drive on this lens, I'm going to drop the price by another $60. As I said, the SDM is fully functional, it just needs a focus or two to warm up.

Item for Sale
SMC Pentax DA* 60-250mm F4

Asking Price
$390.00 USD -- was $450

Item Location
Salt Lake City (United States)

Item Description
This is the SMC Pentax DA* 60-250mm I purchased from Amazon.

The SDM in mine has always been a bit strange. It needs a few warm up focuses once you start using it and then it works fine for days. Eventually you don't shoot with it for a couple of days and it needs another warmup. I talked about it on the forums years ago, and it's still in the same shape. I'm marking the lens as fair due to this concern only.

Otherwise, it's as fast as SDM ever is. I can definitely see specs of dust through the lens. It's hard for the airflow of this model not to pull in dust when you zoom. Other than dust, glass is clean, no haze, no fungus. Focus is smooth. Aperture snappy.

Original front and back caps and hood. If you purchase, I'll try to find the box and bag but no promises.

I have not modified it to full frame. I did almost buy a baffle from someone, but I have so many full frame lenses covering this range that I just don't need a project.

$390 shipped to you CON/US only. (Payment via PayPal as standard purchase), or $340 in person.

Item for Sale
Sigma Bigma 50-500mm EX DG APO (For Pentax K)

Asking Price
650.00 USD

Item Location
Salt Lake City (United States)

Item Description
Sigma Bigma 50-500 EX DG APO (Note not the OS model) superzoom lens.

This is a particularly sharp copy of this super zoom lens. I picked this up from someone who barely used it, and not too long after I acquired a 250-600 so I hardly used it.

When I looked close, there are some specs of dust in the lens, otherwise clean.
Manual focus is smooth, auto focus is as snappy as this model can be.
Aperture blades snappy.
Glass is clean, no haze, no scratches.

This model has the matte black finish rather than gloss.

Original front cap, strap, lens hood, and back cap as pictured.

If you purchase, I will attempt to locate the box and bag, but no promises.

Item for Sale
FA* 80-200/2.8

Asking Price
450.00 USD

Item Location
Salt Lake City (United States)

Item Description
The Pentax FA* 80-200/2.8, I purchased this on the forums in 2010 FA* 80-200mm/2.8 (conus) - PentaxForums.com

I used this FA* a ton. It's a great lens, and still works as good today as when I bought it. I've upgraded and no longer need it.

The Power Zoom on this lens does not work.
Regular zoom works but does encounter some "air breathing" friction which doesn't cause any problems with the zoom.
Manual focus is slightly tighter near infinity, does not impact infinity focus. Screw drive focus does have some labor during full throw focusing, but works fine on my K-1.
Barrel was quite used when I bought it. It does have small crack near the screw by power zoom
Dust is visible in the lens, but never impacted my image quality. No scratches, no mold, no haze.

Minor issues aside, it's ready for your use.

Generic back cap. Pentax front cap as pictured. Hood as pictured.
