Hi all,

it's time for another rationalisation of my kit. This stuff survived the last round, but I've decided that I'd like to keep a smaller core of the essentials and get some money towards an x100 to have out and about on walks with the family! Prices are all including 2nd class post.

As they are all old lenses, there are the usual odd specs of dust on the elements, but I'll highlight anything that is particularly noticeable or could affect image quality. I try to be fair and conservative with descriptions!

Takumar 28mm f3.5 with the square hood. Lovely lens - it's in good condition and is optically perfect. However, the info ring at the front of the lens (where the focal length info etc lives) has two scratches on it. The filter ring is untouched and there's no other problems with it. £35

Takumar 135mm f3.5. Again, optically and mechanically excellent and a very good external condition. Lovely sharp lens. £35

Tamron 55bb Adaptall lens. 500mm f8 mirror lens. In fantastic condition - comes with case, hood, caps and manual. No adaptall mount (though see below). £150

Tamron 01A Adaptall lens. 35-80mm, f2.8-3.8 This lens has a fantastic reputation with users of manual glass. This is in generally good condition, however the rubber on the focus ring has swollen a bit - it's not sticky or degraded, but also isn't perfectly flat any more. Optics in general are good though - I've had some nice pics from it. There is a small mark on the internal coating of the front element. It's right at the edge of the field of view and I've been unable to get it in a pic of the lens - I'd honestly be surprised if it's having any effect on the lens at all. It's definitely not fungus too! £65

Pentax A 50mm 1.7. This is the one that meters correctly with modern Pentax DSLRs. It's a lovely lens in very good condition, but I've got 6 lenses in the 40-55mm range, so one of them has to go, and this time it's this one! £60

Finally, I've got a Pentax K adapter for adaptall at £20 and a Praktica bayonet one for £15

The Tamron BB is just about the best 500mm mirror out there. I have one, cracking lens for the money and easily the cheapest way to 500mm.

Could you PM me please, I may be interested in the 500 mirror and matching mount?
K5 + probably too many lenses to be any good! Failing treatment for LBA

Bump - someone must want one of the best mirror lenses ever made? Or a top quality fast zoom?

500mm and PK adapter sold.

Anyone for the 35-80 (which includes a useful macro mode!) Or the 50mm f1.7?
