FS: DA 17-70 - Superb Condition

Regretfully, I have to sell my fabulous Pentax DA 17-70 F4 SDM lens. The lens is in superb, almost mint condition, save for a tiny scratch on the lens hood which is just about visible in the last image of the lens below.

- Glass is 'as new' with no smears, scratches, dust, fungus or any other blemish that I can see
- All aspects of the lens operate correctly, I have never had any issues with the SDM on this lens, I did experience indifferent focussing with it on my first K-5, but never had any problems with my K-x, second K-5, K-5IIs or K-3 so I put this down to the camera rather than the lens (the camera did have to go back to SRS for re-calibration)
- There is no damage of any kind on the body of the lens
- Images from it are superb - sharp with great colours and contrast, no complaints at all in terms of IQ since I've owned it
- The lens has original hood and both caps, but there is no box / instructions etc.

I am selling this lens as I need funds for other equipment and I have three or four other quality lenses that cover similar focal lengths, so can't justify keeping all of them. I am looking for £270 + RMSD for this lovely piece. Here are some pictures of the lens, plus a few taken with it so you get an idea of the IQ:































Please PM me if interested before I change my mind; this is one of the hardest selling decisions I've had to make as I like everything about this lump of glass.

Bump - any interest in this superb lens?

A bump for my superb DA 17-70 lens. Price is now reduced to £250 plus postage, alternatively I will swap for a K-30 in excellent condition and a low shutter count.

If there's no interest at this price I will probably take my chances on ebay where I think the lens will make its money.

Cheers
David
