Sorry I should have mentioned that I am in the UK. I have just amended my details to show this. Thanks.

You can always look in the lens database at pentaxforums.com to get a rough idea.

If you're planning to list the FA 35mm f2 I'd suggest doing so sooner rather than later. I suspect the new DA 35mm f2.4 will take a lot of the demand away as it's a cracking lens and has a street price around £150.

I would be seriously tempted by the 35mm as I am looking for one myself.
Also, that FA*200mm would be nice too, along with the 1.4x converter.
May I ask what condition they are in?

Prices are different depending on where you look. But the best place to get a fair estimate is the Pentax Forums sales thread, not their lens database, which contains historical and just plain inaccurate information (where price is concerned). Just because someone found an old lens for a tenner doesn't mean that is the going rate!

Also worth bearing in mind that the other forum seems to be predominantly USA-based, and lens prices across the Atlantic will be different to ours as they have a larger community to buy from.

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

An FA* 24mm sold in the classifieds here not so long ago, try a search. If my memory is accurate it sold pretty damn quickly, and for considerably more than £275...

Anyone have any thoughts on what these lenses would be worth, thinking of fair prices.
Pentax FA 24mm f2.0
Pentax FA 35mm f2.0
Pentax FA 50mm f1.7

They are excellent to mint condition.
If I put them on eBay need an idea of what to set a reserve at, thanks for any advice.
