Scribbler John, welcome to the forum. You've given us very little detail to go on - you haven't even told us what condition it's in! Also, to my knowledge, there was no M-series 85mm soft - is it this K series lens?
It would probably help you if you posted photos of the lens taking care to show the front and rear elements, a photo taken with the lens and gave some information about how you would like to be paid and shipping costs.

The lens is, as you rightly pointed out, K Series, the condition is very good, to be honest, I bought it years ago when I worked for Jessops and have hardly ever used it.
Photos will hopefully follow shortly.
UK postage would be included in the price.
payment by cheque or cash on collection would be prefered

I'm looking for something along the lines of the KX or similar spec, but I am open to sensible advice and offers as Jessops have stopped stocking Pentax so I'm having difficulty laying my hands on one to get the feel of it.ScribblerJohn wrote:

Which would be the 'right' camera?. . . £450 or nearest offer or will swap for the right camera.
I've based the price on the fact that the last one went on ebay for $562, I just wanted to give serious UK Pentax fans the chance before I considered the minefields involved with ebay.

To add to that lens I am also selling the LX finder FB1 & FC1, optically clean but with sime light cometic marks on the prism housing and a Mount Adapter K in its' green plastic bag with instructions, any sensible offers considered.
I hate seeing them just sit in the cupboard doing nothing when someone could be using them to capture a masterpiece.

I'm still trying to figure out how good the bokeh is of the lens...
edit: found out and it isn't what I was looking for but still looks like a very interesting lens though.

It is a lovely lens, but I just don't get to use it enough, so it's best it goes to someone who'll get some use out of it. I don't collect gear to stick it in a cabinet, if I wanted to do that I'd be a leica owner.

I have it, I love it.
if you're going with a kx you might try it out for video!

Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

I have finally given in and decided to go digital and so I'm selling this lens to cover the cost of a new digital body £450 or nearest offer or will swap for the right camera.
