FS: SMC Pentax A* 85mm f1.4
I'd consider reasonable offers on this classic
I am really very interested in this. I have one already, but yours is clearly better than my copy!
I can't send you a private message, as I've just joined the site. Happy to agree very close to the asking price it that's acceptable?
I've asked a mutual friend to message you
Kind regards,
Paul
I've been told you can message me, so await your message

Message replied to. Look forward to hearing from you... just posting this in case it didn't get through.

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

This copy is in "Average" to "Well Used" cosmetic condition, with plenty of areas of the black paint marked and silvering to the aperture ring. There is above average dust/specs inside the optics, but the coatings show no damage or significant marks. The focusing is beautifully smooth and the results are top notch - this Flickr album contains just a few images taken with this lens...

I'll put up some photos of the lens condition later, but in the meantime if there are any questions please ask
Because of the condition I think this is a fair price at £439 inc P&P
