I'm currently bidding on this lens. Seems a good starter zoom for me.

How much do you knowledgeable lot reckon this lens should sell for?

I've read up on it and it's got ok reviews, not the best, not the worst, but since i don't have much cash...

Personally I wouldn't pay anymore than what it is at now.
I always use the lens database on the American Pentax forum if I need to know anything.

I'd get the one from Ffordes for £75 - I think the one on eBay has already gone past the point where it's offering good value for money. Ffordes state that the one they have has a little internal dust (nothing to worry about - they nearly all do) but is otherwise in good condition, and they tend to be accurate in their descriptions as a rule.

I can't vouch for the lens, but I can for the seller. A very nice chap, very quick on delivery (personal experience) and a forum member too.

Best regards,
