I am selling last of my lenses not compatible with K1. It has two small marks, neither of which show on images. They are hard to see and even harder to photograph.
Otherwise the lens is unmarked and not greatly used. I found it a capable and useful lens and am offering for £130 including RMSD to reflect the two small defects. It has Pentax front cap, lens hood and generic back cap. I bought it unboxed from SRS in 2013.

It looks new because apart from this one instance where I was jogged as I took the picture at the Tower of London, I look after my kit and as I had quite a few APSC lenses for my K3, none of them were used to any great extent. The third picture in Traflagar Square was taken after the lens was marked and as you can see the marks have no effect on the image. I do not think that I can improve on the images of the marks, as you have to look carefully to see them. I attach 3 further general pictures of the lens. I would happily have kept it, if I still had an APSC camera because it is a useful walkabout lens, but it vignettes very heavily on Full Frame. I have to declare the marks as a seller, but as a user you could happily forget about them and enjoy the lens at what must be a bargain price.

The message to which I was replying in my second posting seems to have disappeared! Very odd!

It was a spam post with a dubious link.
Best regards, John

Not to worry John, although it put me to some trouble. I could not quite see how I could photograph the marks any better than I had done.

I think you'll find that the problem is most people have one

I've got one and two of my siblings also have one each. The third sibling (12 y.o.) won't get one just yet - he will have to make do with the 18-55 for now.
All the gear with no idea
