various lenses for sale

I'll be listing these on ebay this evening but if anyone wants to PM me any offers I'll consider it. Everything in good condition, photos ready if you need em.

1. 85mm f1.8 auto-takumar (m42 mount)

2. 200mm f2.5 pentax (with prices on ebay going up, any idea what this one might fetch?)

3. spy lens/voyeur lens with a choice of three different series VII adapters: 52mm, 62mm and 67mm (it also fits on top of my 50mm lens without an adapter)

4. tamron extension tube (for the 90mm f2.5, but I imagine it should work with any tamron, please correct me if I'm wrong)

5. pentax slave flash - here's where I originally bought it:

6. 62mm sonia macro dioptre-type thingie (screws onto any lens with 62mm threads)

7. cokin set-up

8. T2 mount, "practica B", 46-49mm step up ring

I am not sure about the M42 auto-tak. The later SMC 85/1.8 are very sought after and can still raise quite a sum. The earlier 85/1.9's still command a reasonable price but are not as well regarded and the 1.8 version. The Auto-Tak is an unusual lens. If you find a couple of collecters interested, then you may get a good price but otherwise, I wouldn't like to guess.

As far as the 200/2.5 is concerned, it is a fantastic lens and you may get some interest fron the Japanese collectors but the 200/2.8A* seems to go for more. I think I paid around £200 for mine which was near mint from a dealer in Manchester but that was about 3-4 years ago. Condition and the way you list it will be paramount.

Anyway good luck with the sale. If you post the numbers here, I would be interested in following them.

Dave is the Tamron extension tube the 45mm K mount (not the adaptall 2). I have the macro 90mm Tamron 2.5 AF with the pentax mount but need the extension tube too get it down to 1.1. I couldnt guess as to what it would be worth and how much it would cost to ship it to Australia :

this item sold so I've deleted the post

it is a fantastic lens. I had to choose between it and a tamron 80-200mm f2.8 which I also find excellent, with the added bonus of a bit of zoom. On the other hand the pentax isn't as bulky. in any event, no reason to keep them both...

Thanks anyway Dave my 90mm is the AF version with a pentax K mount and i believe there is a dedicated tube for this lens to bring it down too lifesize. But any normal tube will do just as well.
And yes it is a fantastic lens

It's item 330173846318 which can then lead you to my other listings. But I have a question, when I first open the ebay page and type in 400mm sigma I don't see my listing in the search results. Did I do something wrong or am I missing something here???

Not sure, but another odd thing was when I went from that item to 'sellers other items', there were 11 things for sale, but the Sigma wasn't one of them...

But you're right, it doesn't show up in searches. Odd. Sorry, no idea why. :

I think there's just a delay after posting. But thanks for checking.

Listings on eBay take about an hour or two to show up in searches as a rule - that's quite normal. I've got annoyed before though when I've entered a listing that contains a keyword (in my case "gun" as it has to be checked by a member of eBay staff before it shows up. Unfortunately for me I made the listing on a Friday evening and it didn't appear in searches until the following Monday - I've been a lot more careful since then!

Thank you, that's worth knowing!

I haven't put this on ebay yet. Anyone interested in buying this via PM. It's better quality than all the ones I see on ebay, says: Asahi Pentax Reverse Adapter 49mm, and it's all metal on the bayonet side and the black plastic on the threaded side.

Just found it here: http://www.ephotozine.com/shop/product853.html (but that one's a 52mm)
