Got it, thank you. No idea what that is. The price is very tempting.

Bump at £89 inc P&P - Super lens, I'm not using it so it needs to go to a deserving home

I had forgotten all about this. The manual 200mm lens that I bought from West Yorkshire cameras last year turned out to be in far worse condition than described (unfortunately a common issue with that seller) so I'm still on the lookout.
If it's still available I'll take it, even though I'm not in the UK to pick it up until August.

The highly regarded fastest 200mm ever produced by Pentax - this one is priced low due to an issue that doesn't appear to be an issue :
Optically it is Good, snappy aperture, some dust & cleaning marks. Cosmetically it is average - no dings or dents just usual wear - focusing is positive and firm.
The "issue" is around the rear elements - there appears to be a shiny ring around the edge, I cannot be sure what it is, and when I bought it I assumed this would impact on contrast or flare or vignetting or edge softness - but to my eyes it does not show up anything in the images. Whether this is because it is around the very edge and so does not form part of the image handling area of the optics I don't know - but it was a pleasant surprise to me!
This image shows the "ring" a little..
Here's a few "snaps" from this morning - all at f2.5, no cropping or sharpening...
Price £145 plus P&P
