Wow, This is a terrific lens.
I do have the same and it's even better then the K/M 200 f1:4.
If you like a manual tele, this is a very fine one!
Good luck with your sale!

I have heard from many accounts that this is even better than the 200mm taks. Thing is I dont pick it up. Even now that I'm trying birding, I grab the 55-300mm and the Tamron 500mm mirror.
I'll drop this focal length for now or get somethin more reasonable to carry.
Dont be alarmed, though, its no Tak 200mm F3.5.

Bump.
And sorry for those who just checked the classifieds, had to do some organising.

I'm putting this lens for sale because I'm just not using it. Its a good lens, but heavy, so I keep leaving it at home.
The glass is in fine with the odd speck of dust. Body is fine as well with a little paint loss here and there. Overall I´d class it as in very good condition.
Pics of the lens:

With a Kiron 2x TC (not a stellar TC)
Lens comes with front and rear generic caps.
Price is £30 shipped to UK. Ask me for shipping prices for other countries.
I will also consider trades for other 200mm lens (up to F4).
Thanks
