Clearance Digital Gears

Posted 17/01/2008 - 17:52 Link
Hi,

I work for a private studio and we recently cleared out some of our equipments. I have a fews digital gears left which were given for my personal uses. I however would not be able to take care of them all so I'm thinking about selling them. I have:

Pentax K10D:
Absolutely show no sign of uses, extremely smooth operation as the shutter was actuated for only 4241 times. It comes with all original accesories plus a Sandisk 4GB, A Kingston 2GB memories cards and an extra new battery.

Pentax 43mm Limited:
Show minimal use, very well taken care of and I would rate it as Exc+ condition. It comes with original box, paperwork.

Pentax 77mm Limited:
Only 2 photos were taken using this lens since the date of purchase. It then sit in its original box. It is completed with all caps, paperwork.

Voigtlander 125mm Macro (M42 mount):
Shows only one very tiny, absolutely invisible scatch. The glass is clean and free of fungus. It comes with original box, caps and paperwork. The sale will also include one M42-Canon EF adaptor and one M42-PK adaptor for full functionality.

I haven't listed those items on Ebay yet but if you are interested, drop me a fews lines, I'll answer all your questions. My email address is [email protected].
Thanks for reading.

I can't see from your ebay pics if the lens has an aperture ring. The Canon mount version doesn't. Can you confirm?

Hi,

On the listing I wrote the lens was of Universal M42 mount which can be adapted to use with all other 35mm cameras. I have included M42-Canon EF and M42-Pentax K adaptors.
Hope that helps

Thanks for that info, but it doesn't answer my question. For it to work on a Pentax K Mount SLR or DSLR, even with an adapter, it needs a means of adjusting the aperture on the lens. Does it have the necessary aperture ring?

Hi,

Sorry for the misleading answer, yes the lens has an aperture ring but I haven't tried this lens with Pentax because it was used mostly with Olympus and Canon. I'll have a go next time I visit the studio but for sure, the lens has an aperture ring.
Thanks

Thanks for that. The Canon mount version had no aperture ring and like Pentax FAJ and DA lenses, the aperture was set from the body.

Surely all decent M42 lenses, other than mirror lenses, have an aperture ring. You are never able to set the aperture from the body unless the lens has a Ka mount.

You're quite right of course George, I just couldn't see it in the photo's.
