Is there an on-line price guide for used Pentax lenses

Does anyone know of an on-line price guide for older pentax lenses? Clearly the price always depends on condition, but most shops have a systematic way of evaluating a price for a given lens. I want to know if there is such a service on the web.

There is always McKeowan's Camera price Guide, a hefty tome that will cost you around £75 from Andrews Cameras. This is a wonderful information resource for all classic cameras. I don't know about the web having a price guide as such, but each dealers web site lists lenses for sale and these prices will give you a good guide, as will the current issue of AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER.

With a good deal of research you will be able to then spot any bargains straight away!
Best regards, John

Thanks for this info. Would you, or anyone else who has the guide, be willing to look up a price for me. I want a guide price for a Pentax F*300 mm f4.5 (not the FA version which is different).

Many thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, the guide soes not yet include any of the autofocus Pentax lenses, although it does for Nikon. Very strange!
Best regards, John

It's a good idea, though with one or two idiosyncracies, like the use of the Canadian calendar, which has 31 days in September.
