Well spotted! One nice purchase
Maybe we should have a bargain buy thread, so time consuming pouring over the net, eyes peeled for anything Pentax.

The lens that went for £55 was an older version without the "Di" coatings.
The latest Tamron 70-300 is available for under a hundred quid brand new anyway.
Here's one for fans of manual-focus zooms: Pentax-A 70-210mm F4

- I bet the final price will be relatively low because the seller is saying the aperture is stuck. But I can see from the photo that all that's missing is the little button that takes it off the "A" setting. The lens could just stay on "A" to use with a modern camera, or maybe you could make a new button for it.

I've just bought a similar Sigma variant off ebay for £70 which I thought was cheap - this buy looks even better
