This is the Super Multi Coated version of this lens. Good clean glass with no scratches, haze or fungus. There are a few dust specs inside as one would expect. The body is scratch and dent free showing only some very minor paint fade on the hood. Everything functions properly.

I had the same problem with mine a year ago. Sent it into KEH and they replaced some electronic for $125. It has worked great ever since. I tried the contact cleaning route prior to with no success.

Takumar 300/4 vs K400/5.6 anybody compared?
Posted By billhardie

Hey Peter,

I had a Super Tak 300 and now have an SMC Tak 400. Have not shot enough with the 400 yet to conclude but here are a few thoughts. The 300 is much smaller and carried well in my camera bags the 400 will not. I find the 400 more difficult to nail the focus on so far. The extra stop on the 300 was difficult to part with but the extra reach on the 400 may be worth the trade. Tough call for me so far on which one I like more. Are you considering just having one or adding the 300?

Item for Sale
Vivitar 28mm 2.8 Close Focus

Asking Price
$65

Item Description
Anyone that has been here for a while knows how highly regarded this lens is. This is the K02 version as documented by forum member "rparmar". For those that have not read about this lens and its cousins I have included some links to rparmar's work with them. Thanks rparmar.

This copy is in excellent condition across the board. Glass, body and mechanics are all beautiful and function flawlessly. The only things missing are the caps. I will pack it with a lens filter for protection. The only reason for me selling this is that I have the f/2.0 version.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Item for Sale
Pentax-A 35-105mm

Asking Price
$75

Item Description
This lens has seen a lot of use but the glass is in excellent shape. The pictures show the scratching on the body which is one drawback. The other drawback is that infinity focus is a bit quirky. At certain focal lengths it will focus beyond infinity and ocassionally it will stop short of infinity. I have only noticed the short of infinity issue around the 50mm range. When it winds up short you have to recompose by changing the focal length and focus and then coming back to your desired focal length that you want and back to infinity.

I sent this to "Eric" our forum member and Pentax repair guru. He did a complete CLA on this and told me that over time the rollers and guide plates within the lens wear and that these would need to be replaced to eliminate the infinity focus play. Even then he was not positive that it would be 100% cured. I chose not to do this because it is not that bad.

Anyone that knows this lens knows the quality of images from it. It really can produce some beauties. Let me know if you have any questions.

A fungus comparison

pacerr,

I should have known someone here would buy that lens. It was mine and I am glad to hear you sucessfully exorcised it. Like I said in the offer, the pictures were not too bad with the fungus. Your after shots show improvement but not by leaps and bounds. While fungus and other defects in lenses will dramatically devalue them I do not believe that they degrade picture qualtiy at the same level.

Looking forward to more shots with it.

Bill
