I have no connection with this company, but I have bought from them in the past and I have found them to be excellent.

They have just taken in a number of excellent condition Pentax K lens, including the "Hollywood" 28 f2 and a 30mm f2.8, some of these have just been listed on Ebay, so may go quickly, but others have not yet made it onto their web site.

Here's the list I received a few minutes ago......

Pentax K 28mm f2 SMC Pentax lens, first series, pre "m". Zeiss Distagon made under licence with floating element. A legendary and very rare lens. This example in mint condition with beautiful optics, smooth focus, snappy iris. With Pentax front and rear caps and correct lens hood. m- £499

Pentax K 24mm f3.5 SMC Pentax lens, first series, pre "m". This example in very good condition with super optics, smooth focus, snappy iris. With Pentax front and rear caps. An uncommon and sought after lens, reputedly the finest Pentax 24mm optic. exc+/++ £99

The Pentax KA 2-Xs Rear Converter A. Mint condition, with caps. m- £69 is a good deal.

I have used mine with a DA*300 many times with excellent results - it may not be AF but is that an issue?

IMO the Pentax A series converters still hold up as some of the best quality converters around, okay they are not AF, but the primary consideration is usually quality when trying to increase the effective focal length of a lens

Beautiful images! How is it now? Were you able to use it properly. I'm interested with this camera so I wish I will be able to purchase one in the future. The price is quite high but sure worth ti!

Looks like someone has snapped up the lot, can't see any of them listed.

No - I told him I would list them on the forum before he puts them on the website, if there's anything you're interested in send him an e-mail or give him a call !

I thought it would be advantageous to both him and us to do this! He has listed 2 of the lenses on Ebay (the K28/2 and the K30/2.
