To help raise funds for the new lenses hopefully being released this month, we have decided to sell those that are receiving little use!

1. Pentax smc DA 14mm F2.8 ED (IF)

Was bought 2nd hand in July to help with the shooting of a wedding, and has received very little use since then (2nd August). It did come with a UV filter, and as I don't normally use them, will be including it in with the sale. Optics are, to be expected from the use of a filter, in fantastic condition.

Niggles? The supplied lens case is showing signs of wear, and there is a small mark on the underside edge of the barrel, consistent with it having been placed down on a surface whilst still attached to the camera. It is small and insignificant, and not at all visible when the lens cap is on, but I know it's there, and want to give an accurate description!

Looking for £275 inc. free postage for forum members.

2. Pentax smc FA 43mm F1.9 Limited

Was the 1st Limited we bought (2nd hand), to experience the quality that everybody on here said was unique to the Limited lenses, and it most definately as good as expected!, has received little use though due to our preference for DA* Zooms (!), and is primarily being sold here along with the other 2 lenses to fund the purchase of a DA*55 SDM and the new SDM converter!

Niggles? 2 small nicks on the edges of the lens cap, other wise, perfect.

Looking for £250 inc. free postage for forum members.

3. Pentax smc FA 50mm F1.4

Bought new from SRS around XMAS as our first experience of a very wide aperture, and to play with and get used to using depth of field (we are still relatively new to this photography thing you know!). Hardly used recently and as such is in perfect condition.

Niggles? None, apart from they don't come with a nice little leather bag like the LTD's do!

Danny, £159 at SRS for the FA 50mm. £250 is way OTT. Great lens.

Are you sure about the asking price of the FA 50mm 1.4 :

What do they go for new over there. :

I got mine brand new for around 120quid and used examples regularly come up for around 100quid.

The 43mm looks great but I won't be tempted

I may be interested in the 50mm if the asking price is rectified.

I'm guessing I may be too late, but is the 14mm still available?
Thanks

Don't expect a quick answer, I think Danny is on his honeymoon.

Cheers Rob.

Looks like I will keep the 43mm LTD now as it's nice to have the whole set, and I will need something to put on this if I get one!
