Found these on ebay, but the one I am really interested in is the 100-300MM but its damaged, any ideas as to a repair cost?
are the others worth anything?

18-55mm AL SMC DA PENTAX 1:3.5-5.6 - HOOD, CAPS, UV FILTER
70-300MM F4-5.6 DG MACRO SIGMA PENTAX, -BOX, HOOD,REAR CAP, UV FILTER
28-105MM 1:4-5.6 UC II SIGMA PENTAX, BOX, HOOD, CAPS


THIS ONE IS FAULTY - BROKE IN TO 2 PARTS GLUED TOGETHER BUT JAMS.
100-300MM 1:4.5-6.7 DL SIGMA PENTAX HOOD, CAPS.

Regards
Colin

The original kit lens isn't worth that much, I don't know about the Sigmas. Personally, I wouldn't touch the 100-300mm, repair costs can be very high.

Personally I'd pass unless they are giving it away!

I'd say the only item of any real interest in that list is

70-300MM F4-5.6 DG MACRO SIGMA PENTAX, -BOX, HOOD,REAR CAP, UV FILTER

presumably not the APO version as they don't say it is, so not fantastic but if it's going cheap might be worth it.

If the whole lot is going really cheap and you haven't got a 70-300 then go for it for the undamaged Sigma, if the lot goes above about £40 then pass.
you don't have to be mad to post here



but it does help
