Travor grip for K10D/K20D/GX10/GX20

PM sent re grip.

I wouldn't go for a job in sales (a bit too honest)

What's the matter with you people!?

A Rikenon XR 50mm f1.4 for twelve quid... And nobody's grabbed it!
It's an excellent lens, easily cleaned and optically as good as a Pentax lens.
If I didn't already have four fast fifties, I'd have it!

Is it the one on the left of the pic or the one on the right

It's the one on the right, the one marked Asahi Pentax is a geniune one.

Sorry it's out of focus

It's an excellent lens, easily cleaned and optically as good as a Pentax lens.

Interesting thought - I might give the cleaning a punt. I can't say I've dared dismantle a lens that far before, but I guess even if I turn it into a paperweight I'll only be a tenner down on my luck

I could if you want one, yes, but they're identical bar the markings. I was originally selling both and my lighting setup isn't exactly pro, so I was just opening the lens up to save time. I'm not sure it's quite so out of focus that you can't figure out what it is

Curses, Mowog, now you've made me go and order a lens spanner

... And done myself out of an easy forty quid!

I may yet bottle it - I still have the results of my first ever lens dismantling effort on my desk as a reminder of how bad it can get

A lot of these old 50's whilst quite sharp, just don't have colours as good as Pentax colours. I've just been testing a Yashica 50mm and it is sharp but the colours are just too washed out. I've got three Rikenon's and they turn black purple on AWB and can't match the Pentax A 50mm f/1.7 even when set on Daylight.

Grip now sold.

Also remembered another item:

Sigma Mini-Tele 135mm f/3.5
Fair condition, optically has a small scratch at the edge of the front element and some minor dust inside, not as sharp as the Pentax equivalent.
£22
