PentaxForums.com Marketplace Listing Item for Sale
Ricoh XR Rikenon 600mm f/8 mirror reflex lens Asking Price
50 USD Item Location
Oregon (United States) Item Description
So, this is a very rare, well-built lens. It comes with leather carrying case, screw-in lens hood, tripod mount, and changeable filters.
Unfortunately, there is something that looks like fungus on one of the elements. This lens didn't fit in the humidity chamber with my other lenses, so I'm not sure if the fungus was from my alternate storage system or was something pre-existing. Long story short, I think it might be possible to clean the fungus but I don't have time to mess with it and so would be willing to sell it for really cheap. Price includes shipping and paypal fees.
I included a sample shot to show what to expect in terms of bokeh, sharpness and contrast. Are you the original owner of the item being sold?

PentaxForums.com Marketplace Listing Item for Sale
Pentax-A 24mm f/2.8 Lens Asking Price
250 USD Item Location
Oregon (United States) Item Description
This is a copy of the Pentax-A series 24mm f/2.8 lens. I really like this lens, but I have lenses on with focal lengths on either side and I want to buy a K30 so need to sacrifice one of them.
Glass and body are in very good condition. Aperture ring works well. Glass has some minor dust inside, which to be honest seems to be the case in just about every lens I've seen. There are no signs of fungus or any other reason to be concerned as far as I can tell. Are you the original owner of the item being sold?

PentaxForums.com Marketplace Listing Item for Sale
Pentax-A 35mm f/2.0 Lens Asking Price
195 Item Location
Oregon (United States) Item Description
Pentax-A 35mm f/2.0 lens. It's a nice, fast lens, with good bokeh and a near-normal focal length on APS-C. I have brought this as my only lens on many occasions, with good results.
The lens has a couple of flaws. First, there is a small dent on the body. I haven't noticed any effect on the image quality of the lens, and the focus goes through the whole range, and is well-damped. The other flaw is a coating scratch on the rear element. I have used it like that for many years, and didn't notice any undue flare or other image degradation. I suppose it is theoretically possible, but nothing that I have noticed.
The aperture ring moves fine, and the blades are snappy and free of any oil or gunk.
Comes with rear and (generic) front caps. Are you the original owner of the item being sold?

I'm one of those ten thousands. I was looking into Olympus m43 as my backup, but will hold out to see the official announcement. If it's anything like I'm imagining, it will be a perfect second camera.
Also, I've come to the conclusion skimming this thread that internet forums really do make an art-form out of the inane.

Price Reduced, and I will again say that the scratches are very minor - I've been using this lens for years and never even noticed them until I put a flashlight on it at a particular angle. I highly doubt there is any noticeable effect on image quality.
Happy 2012.

Pentax K 30mm f/2.8 lens Asking Price
$250 Item Location
Oregon (United States) Item Description
This is a classic, rare Pentax lens. One of the coolest ever, if I say so myself. Certainly it gets great reviews and is considered one of the best medium-wide angle Pentax lenses. Unfortunately, I haven't been using my copy as I should, so I think it's time to let somebody else have the chance to use it. It's a great working (not necessarily collecting) copy. No real flaws to speak of. The paint has a couple of tiny chips, particularly on the front edge. There is an average amount of dust inside. I shined a light through and couldn't see any traces of fungus or other damage (besides the dust). There are ~2 very light scratches in the coating of the front element, around 2mm long. I never even noticed them until I shined the light at a certain angle. I haven't noticed any negative effect from them in image quality, and they are so minor it's really hard to even take a picture that would show them.
Comes with original front cap and non-OEM rear cap. Are you the original owner of the item being sold?

Another interesting set is the A/M 200mm f/4 lenses. It appears they added a lens group and slightly shortened the minimum focusing distance, while keeping the same general body dimensions. I've only ever used the A version, so I can't say how they compare optically.
