Latest Review Posted SMC Pentax 85-210mm F3.5
This lens is quite legendary. One of the very first Pentax zoom lenses


With the close focusing lens attachment and the SMC Pentax Rear Converter K T6-2x, this lens is a major force to be reckoned with. In my opinion, it competes favorably with modern fast zoom lenses in the same range and probably even some primes. It really is that good.


From my research, a very limited number of these lenses were only produced for 1 year before Pentax decided they were too expensive to continue manufacturing. They are extremely are to find in good condition today and should be considered a "once in a lifetime" find.


This website has some more details about it : http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/lenses/zooms/long/K85-210f3.5.html


My copy was appraised in 2010 by an authorized Pentax dealer for $800. Truly a unique collector's piece!
