surprised this comment has not been moderated out to be honest...
Even at £140 I thought it represented an excellent purchase for someone...(I already have one Hogboy)
Good luck with the sale

The F lenses feel better built than the FA ones, although the focusing ring is lighter and less smooth - but this probably allows faster screw-drive AF. The lenses were designed for the SF series of cameras that had lower torque AF screw-drive motors than later film cameras (e.g. Z-1) and today's DSLRs are probably faster still.
Compared to a DA50/1.8, these lenses are better built, have an aperture ring & DoF markings and guaranteed FF coverage. I have an F50/1.7 and simply wouldn't sell it.

Simple. You can buy the same lens type in a different mount for 25% of the K-Mount. And yes, they're quality too (been using them for years now as my alternate system) so for £40.00 I can buy the same focal length and aperture in AF which is why I wonder why K-Mount lenses warrant such premium prices.
