Superb FA31 and FA77 for sale. Boxed and Mint

I know you should never sell these lenses, but I increasingly find myself drawn to the highly portable DA Ltds and don't see myself making a transition to full frame any time soon.

Both are mint. Both boxed and with all the original caps, pouches, etc. The 77 was bought secondhand from LCE but in superb shape. I have owned the 31 from new and it is literally "as new".

I have already been offered sensible trade in prices from SRS so will be going there next Friday unless somebody here wants to get in first.

For the FA77 I am looking for £500 including insured postage within the UK.

For the FA31 I am looking for £700 including insured postage within the UK.

Please PM me if you are interested, and I will be happy to post images if somebody here is looking for these.

Would you sell the FA 31 to a boy from Oz? It's a lot of money but it's awfully tempting.

Have replied. I think getting postage with appropriate compensation for loss or damage may be an issue.... looks like £70-80!

Update: have used both lenses over the past couple of days and concluded that I must have been mad to consider selling them! I'm withdrawing them from sale but will have to put up some other stuff instead as I am determined to cut down the lens collection to a small number that get used rather than admired!

The lenses that I would consider selling include:

20mm SMCM/4 - excellent with only minor signs of use. £180 plus PayPal fee and postage.

Tamron Adaptall 24/2.5 - as new and could be supplied with PKA adapter if required. Boxed and comes with original hood (hood in exc shape but not as new). £60 plus PayPal fee and postage, or £70 with PKM adapter or £100 with PKA adapter.

35mm SMCM/2.8 - mint. £60 plus PayPal fee and postage.

135mm SMCM/3.5 - almost mint. £45 plus PayPal fee and postage.

35-105 SMCA/3.5 - excellent with only minor signs of use. Complete with Hoya rubber hood. You'd need to twist my arm to get me to sell this one! £100 plus PayPal fee and postage.

100mm SMCM/4 1:2 macro - excellent with only minor signs of use. Complete with hood and case. £90 plus PayPal fee and postage.

I will start a new thread for these but let me know if you are interested.

Glad to see you've come to your senses (before I managed to scrape enough together to relieve you of that 31mm )

Told you so..... Considering selling these lenses is madness.

Two rules of FA Ltd (and FA*85) ownership:

1) Never even think about selling these lenses, you will regret it
2) See 1)
