I've just put my SMC Pentax-FA 24-90mm lens on eBay, so if anyone is interested in one in pristine condition, hardly used, then it's starting at a very modest price. I am of course hopeful that the bidding will be brisk...
Best regards, John

Ebay has a silly search system. If you look for 24-90 you won't find it. But try 24-90mm and voila!

I should add that it's a very fine lens. I rate it higher than any other Pentax zoom I've used, including my 16-50.

Matt pairs his with a 12-24 and is a happy man.

Hi,

Just a tip for ebay searching....you can do wild card searches..

ie search for: 24-90* will find 24-90mm and also 24-90/3.5 24-90/4.5 etc (just examples)...so will take into account differing sellers item titles..

cheers Steve.M.

The 24-90 is now my most used lens A very good threesome is the 12-24, 24-90 and 50/1.4
Optically superb... I reckon it holds its own even against the legendary 31mm limited

Another vote for the virtues of the 24-90 from me.

And no I am not on a commission deal with John.

...and to think I nearly ebay'd mine

Maybe I could do with a spare

I often use it as my standard too. My only complaint would that the contrast can suffer a bit if used into the light compared to say the 50mm F1.4. Other than that it's a great lens.

I discovered this last week when I sold an "18-55mm" and couldn't understand why it didn't show up in a searh for "18-55" Anyway I bought it for £21 just for the hood which retails at £35 and sold the boxed mint lens with caps and aftermarket hood for £25 + p&p. It was a good week - sold a couple of LX flash cables that came bundled with something else too.
