£279.00 new on EBAY. CHEERS Vic. PS In Scotland. Vic.
Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.

Thanks Vic,
They charge £10 postage so it actually costs £289. I think my price of £200 including Royal Mail Special Delivery is reasonable but if it is slow to sell I will of course consider sensible offers!

Thanks for the support axl.
Ultimately the market decides what is a fair price. I could put it up for auction on eBay but I would rather to offer it to fellow Pentaxusers and cut out the eBay selling fees. It went on sale today so I can afford to wait to see if there is any interest.

Well, not a lot of interest so far. I will reduce the price to £190 including postage - Royal Mail Special Delivery.

Had I not bought one in the last couple of weeks I'd have had this off you in an instant.
Brilliant lens, not been off my camera since I bought it, and a great price.
Good luck with the sale.

If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.
Apparently.

Thanks for your helpful comment robbie_d.
Yes it is a nice lens. I used to use it quite a lot but in the past year it has been supplanted by my DA40mm Limited which seems to match my K-7 beautifully and I find the shorter focal length more useful. Hence the sale.

As an added incentive I will throw in absolutely FREE a collapsible lens hood to anyone offering my current price of £190 including postage.
N.B. There is a current lively discussion on lens hoods for the FA50mmf1.4 going on on the Lenses for Pentax forum. link

This lens is in excellent condition with no signs of use. Specifically the optical surfaces are immaculate. It is supplied in original packaging with original Pentax front and rear caps. Made in Japan. It is FF so can be used with film cameras as well as digital.
I bought this lens about 2 years ago and it has had light careful use. Since acquiring a DA40 Limited last year I have hardly used it.
They currently sell for £319 new at SRS so I am asking £200 which includes Royal Mail Special Delivery to UK addresses.
Payment can be made by Bank Transfer, PayPal Gift (i.e. you pay the charges) or personal cheque drawn on a UK bank. Goods will be dispatched after clearance of cheques.
