Sadly, or is that luckily?, it is definitely out of my price range especially after my "bargain" FA31 purchase last month. Good luck with the sale and I hope someone who will use it buys it. I hate seeing good glass as ornaments.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

P/x + cash considered if you've got something interesting (I like shiny things).
Looking at £1650 + PnP.

It's supremely sharp in the centre, even wide open. There's a bit of PF that you'll notice on high contrast edges and this does reduce the overall wide open contrast a tiny bit, but other than this, the lens is definitely special. Stopped down, it's amazing. The bokeh is better with this lens at f/2.5 than my K135/2.5 at f/2.5. I don't know how the Physics works there but I didn't mind it one bit.
The lens is in excellent shape with no visible marking to the optics. The body has a few small marks here and there, but is overall in very good condition. The focusing is smooth and the aperture works perfectly.
I'm looking for around £2000 posted for this lens, and it comes with genuine caps and the original 'Pentax RH-A' rubber hood.
Thanks for looking - images taken with the lens to come later.
