Yes Haris - I'll take some photos of the lens when I get a chunk of time - it's not a collectors condition item, it's just a great user - yes, the silver hood is nice to have, but the metal hood (designed for the A*85) does a great job and provides excellent protection.
Peter - will I regret parting with it? Possibly in time, but with the K85/1.8, the A*85/1.4 and the D-FA*50/1.4 I think I'll console myself quite well

For any waverers. If I did not already own this lens, I would bite John's hand off at that price.

It is in overall good condition - the optics are very good/excellent, the cosmetics slightly less so. I don't have the matching silver hood, but I do have the Pentax MH-RA 67mm hood (designed for the A*85 and A 120 macro (645)).
