I guessed the seller before I clicked the link. Their prices are always OTT. They do accept offers though.

I guess at the end of the day a lens is only worth what soemone will pay for it, and good luck to them if they find someone willing to part with £600.I guessed the seller before I clicked the link. Their prices are always OTT. They do accept offers though.
I wonder, if I offered £100...
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

A minor correction - their prices are always Way OTT. Crazy stuff like £120 for a 40mm pancake. I refuse to buy anything from them just on principle.

I must say I have had bits and bobs from them and they do accept offers and are prompt with delivery and safely packaged.

My offer was declined ! They did suggest an alternative of £549.99
Maybe I should go back with a reduction in my offer - say £54.99 !

The A series of this lens usually goes for about 200 or so!

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Is that right Kris? Over the last six months I've seen several K series ones sell for around £250... I would have thought the A would add quite a bit onto the price (but not an extra £350 )

My ebay sales database has the A series going for between 220 and 260, and the K series for between 150 and 180 but, I got bored inputting data and so it is a bit out of date. I'm surprised that the K went up to 250 and pleased as I got mine for abut 150...

Nice! I'd be thrilled to find one for 150 I'm in a similar position with my Tak 85/1.8 which I got for £99. I don't use it all that often, and with recent price rises the urge to sell is almost overwhelming

I'm actually wondering if the mad pricing of 50mm lenses is levelling off?
I've seen a few M 50mm f2s for around the £20 mark of late, and I found an A 50mm f2 for £15 last week (snapped it up for my Super A). It seems to be the turn of the 55mm to go ballistic now - I've seen them priced at £80+!
